About
Handling customers by phone, chat or email for a product or service, often in a BPO, a fintech or a consumer app. Shifts, targets and scripts define the early months; the people who grow are the ones who understand the product well enough to fix root causes, not just tickets. It is a common first job and a real launchpad: the graph's most frequent next step is operations, usually via team-lead or quality roles.
