Vague
Answered phones and emails for customers.
Clearer
Handled around 60 calls and emails a day about billing, recorded every contact in Zendesk and met monthly quality targets.

What the grader cannot do
- It reads text only, so it cannot see layout, fonts or design.
- A grade is a guide to what to improve, not a prediction of whether an employer will shortlist you.
- Your CV is processed once and not stored.
Questions people ask
Should I name the software I used on my CV?
Yes. Naming a CRM or ticketing tool helps a recruiter, and adverts often list similar ones. The grader checks keyword fit, including system names.
How do I show good English on a customer service CV?
Use short, clear sentences with no mistakes, because the CV itself is a sample of your written English. The grader flags lines that may be unclear.
Does the CV grader check grammar?
It flags English that may be unclear to a recruiter, which often includes grammar. It is not a full proofreading service.
