Why it is written this way
Volume is what makes support work legible
“Handled customer enquiries” could be four a day or four hundred. “Resolved 60–80 contacts a day” tells a hiring manager what kind of operation you came from, which is the first thing they want to know.
The metrics are the ones the team already tracked
CSAT, first-contact resolution, average handle time. Naming the measure your employer used is stronger than inventing a percentage, and you can be asked about it without difficulty.
One bullet is about the process, not the queue
Every support resume lists tickets closed. The macro rewrite is what separates somebody who worked the queue from somebody who improved it.

What a parser reads from this resume
