Following my university education, I have worked extensively in the customer support space, first providing managed service level support for customer's internal networking infrastructure, from workstation and server physical setup to account administrations, before transitioning to my current role providing technical support for a multitude of wholesale products, including VOIP telephony and VOIP service management (including tutorials on the use of API's), SMS services across portal applications, API's and SMPP as well as support for multiple connectivity and co-location products.
Though technically in a first-line position, my current role does not thoroughly mirror the ITIL framework. As such, the second-line role is actively split between senior first-line team members like myself and our dedicated third-line, meaning that the first-line team carries out more in-depth analysis during the initial investigations and all customer communication.
Over the last few years, I have also been promoted to the Training Coordinator, providing full training for support team staff members as they enter the business and assisting with training account management and finance team members on using our CRM and customer management systems. As part of this rule, I am involved in both the active training and mentoring of new staff and ensuring that training records are generated and reviewed to ensure staff are retaining the knowledge provided during the training.
