@karmelahorvat
German-speaking customer support consultant with call-center and technical experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a German-language Customer Support Consultant who thrives in a fast, customer-focused call-center environment. For the past five years, I’ve delivered customer service and technical support, including “Deutsche Telekom” support for Internet and telephone issues.
Beyond Telekom, I’ve worked on projects for Zalando and EON, and “last year for Stelantis.” I especially enjoy helping customers beyond sales—ensuring they get the solution they need with “patience and composure,” and the right calm attitude.
My background also includes accounting and IT teaching, so I’m comfortable switching between technical and operational tasks. I hold an ECDL certificate (Windows Explorer, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft PowerPoint, Internet, Microsoft Outlook) and have experience with “Leitung des Projekts - Übersetzung und Erstellung” of a company website for Metalkod d.o.o.
