Highest recommendation for Chavah as a Developer or Team Lead. Chavah added tremendous value to the team, and served as a partial lead role. When things got tough on the team she stepped up and made sure her work was done and with high quality every time.

Customer Service, Department Manager

Jan 2011 - Apr 2014
In January, 2011, I started as a regular Customer Service representative. In January 2012, I became an assistant manager. In July 2012, I became the customer service General Manager. During that time I organized the schedule for the customer service department and tracked employee performance (while on the shift). I successfully appeased and solved problems for upset, confrontational customers—I was the person angry customers got when they wanted to speak to a manager. Also, I managed fraud/age verification for customer accounts. I did the initial screening and first interviews for new employees, and trained them. I created and maintained an internal blog for the department. Finally, I created a training curriculum, including mapping processes, producing training videos, and working on a training manual.In March of 2013, I became the department policy and procedure manager. At that point I moved away from the day-to-day running of the department, and focused more on creating infrastructure for scalability and higher efficiency. During this time, I revamped the QA department, and created multiple documents, infographics, and tables to help facilitate handling customers. Show less
