Chat Support Agent resume guide (Philippines)

Chat and email accounts are non-voice work, so your writing is the product. Recruiters look for typing speed, clear written English, and the ability to handle several chats at once.

A clean, error-free resume is itself proof for this role. Proofread it twice.

What to highlight

  • The account and what customers contacted you about
  • How many chats you handled at the same time
  • Your written English and use of templates or macros
  • Metrics such as first response time, resolution rate or CSAT
  • Tools such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom or a CRM

Example bullets

Copy one, then change the numbers and details so it is true for you.

Questions

Is chat support easier to get than voice?

The requirements are different. Chat accounts screen harder on typing and written English, and less on accent. Show both in your resume.

Should I mention how many chats I handled at once?

Yes, if you know it. Concurrent chat handling is one of the first things chat recruiters ask about.
