  • Essay / Technical Support Team - 976

    During my last internship at company XYZ, I was part of the technical support team. One of my daily tasks was to provide technical support to customers by mail and telephone. When customers sent emails to our technical support email address, they were forwarded to multiple parties. Emails were sent to the Head Office technical support team, the Asia technical support team, the CEO and the Operations Manager. Emails were delivered this way so that the quality and response time of technical support emails could be monitored by administration. The nature of most problems was complex; as a result, several emails were sent before the problem could be identified and diagnosed. Since emails were sent to half a dozen inboxes, there was often confusion over who should respond to which emails. Although many attempts have been made to resolve this problem, they have all failed. There was no solution that would work all the time because employees would be unavailable due to illness, vacations, emergencies, etc. The goal of the process is to provide customers with the highest quality of service.
