H.S.B.C. BANK MIDDLE EAST, Abu Dhabi
2001–2003
Customer Service Assistant
Fast-paced customer service division with three helpdesks issuing ATM cards, credit cards, personal identification numbers, check books, and responding to customer enquiries, complaints, and concerns.
During tenure, relieved on each of the helpdesk areas, rapidly refining both technical expertise and communication talents that prompted several offers to supervise the area in the absence of senior personnel.
Key contributions:
· Earned a reputation as a competent and efficient trouble-shooter—a status that saw customers prepared to wait in line for a considerable time trusting that their concerns would be thoroughly investigated and resolved.
· Identified flaws in existing interdepartmental forms used to communicate information between the helpdesk and back office operations. Successfully sought approval from the division’s supervisor; building a case that cited instances where forms failed to request critical data and were complicated to follow. New design won praise from both departments for being content-rich and streamlined in appearance.
· Spearheaded the design of new forms that overcame chronic data loss concerns negatively impacting customer satisfaction. Drafted forms that integrated information monitoring so that data such as “credit card destruction” dates and “application received” dates could be tracked and recorded.
· Transformed complex procedure manual for the cash counter confusing to non-English speaking staff, into an abridged version that extracted and presented salient points in a clear, consistent language style that remained faithful to audit guidelines. Cut reading time from 1 hour to just 15-minutes.
· Standardized work procedures that overcame operational deficiencies stemming from inadequate communication between departments, work backlogs, and high absenteeism prompting temporary job swapping. Devised formal job descriptions for handling each product—quickly orienting, substitute staff to the requirements of the job. With each staff member familiar with the job requirements, complaint rates dropped from 75% to 30.
· Trained new recruits—an initiative that quickly enhanced the knowledge base of staff. New skills development prompted increased productivity and substantial reduction of work backlogs.
· Instrumental in achieving high audit results through the implementation of streamlined and standardized procedures that met all key criteria for accuracy, records management, and sign-off.
· Surpassed colleagues’ performances, frequently serving up to 100 customers daily.
· Learned conversational phrases in Arabic to cater to non-English speaking “nationals”.

· Successfully coordinated logistics surrounding engineers’ site inspections. Arranged dates, gate passes from oil fields, and coordinated document release.
· Produced technically accurate, powerful budget presentations that graphically interpreted and presented data at monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and yearly increments.
· Event-managed conferences and corporate meetings for clients and engineers. Produced, prepared and distributed meeting minutes.
