How to Make a Call Center Resume

In this blog post, I will discuss how to make a call center resume. At the end of this post, you will also find a call center resume sample. Making your call center resume should be fast and very easy. It should be very simple, concise, and to the point. There are only five things that call center resumes should contain: your data, work experience, educational background, skills, and references. This is most probably the same as in other industries. Now I’m going to discuss the five things that resumes for call centers should contain.


1. Your Data

The first thing that a call center resume should have is, of course, your data. This is the section where you put your birth date, birth place, age, gender, and civil status.

2. Work Experience

The second thing that a call center resume should contain is your work experience. The reason you would want to put your work experience right after your data is to keep the person reviewing your resume interested. Make sure to list your work experiences in chronological order (the most recent work experience should come first on the list). Of course if you don’t have any work experience yet, put your educational background right after your data.

3. Your Educational Background

The third thing that should come on your call center resume is your educational background. Your employer wouldn’t care about knowing which school you went to for your elementary school education so remember to list only your high school and college educational background on your call center resume.

4. Your Skills

The fourth thing that you would need to put in a call center resume is your skills. On the skills section, make sure that the skills you list are related to the skills needed in the industry.

5. Your References

The fifth thing that you should put in your call center resume is your references. It is a good idea to limit your references to a minimum of two and a maximum of five. Please get permission from the people who you will list as your reference before putting their names on your call center resume. Make sure that the contact numbers of your references are updated.

Make sure that the grammar in your resume is correct because grammar mistakes are a turn off for employers. If you wish to improve the English grammar in your resume, I highly recommend using Grammarly, a virtual grammar tutor. Click here to sign up for free.

  4. This is very outdated form of resume. Nobody wants to know where you were born. Period. And civil status? Please. You're making a great mistake if you'll create a resume similar to this format. Try searching Google on how to make effective resume format instead.

  8. Hi Maikko. Yes, you can definitely include OJT experiences in your resume. But make sure that you know what skills you have learned from such training (e.g. leadership, punctuality, flexibility, etc) so that you know how to relate your OJT with the job you are applying for.

    is it ok to put relatives as resume reference

  51. Hi Honeyyy. Yes it is necessary to cite job references in your resume unless you plan to furnish them in a separate document. Examples are your past supervisors or college professors. :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hi tomorrow is my interview. I am a fourth year student, am I going to say that I'm still studying? It's my dilemma, I want to say that "trust is really important, that's why I have the plan continuing my studies but I am adaptable and flexible" the interviewer always asked the question "have any plans, continuing your studies?" Should I sugarcoat? Should I lie? If the answer is yes? Hmmmm. Thank you so much for this blog. It helps me to make a very good resume for tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I believe that you should answer the question truthfully. If you don't plan on continuing your studies right away, you can say that you do plan on continuing your studies but you don't see it happening in the near future. Hope this helps. :)
