Rene Christians
@renechristians
Experienced customer service professional with strong problem-solving abilities.
What I'm looking for
With over a decade of experience in customer service and administration, I have honed my skills in communication and problem-solving. My journey began as an Admin Clerk at Child Welfare South Africa, where I coordinated HIV/Aids project activities and provided essential support to both staff and volunteers. This role laid the foundation for my client-centric approach and ability to manage multiple stakeholders effectively.
In my recent position as a Call Centre Agent at DENIS, I utilized my expertise to identify and resolve customer queries related to the GEMS medical aid. My responsibilities included performing administrative functions, accurately capturing information in CRM systems, and ensuring clear communication with service providers. My dedication to providing exceptional service was further demonstrated during my tenure at the City of Cape Town, where I not only assisted ratepayers but also took on leadership responsibilities as a rotational stand-in Team Leader.
