深入詳答

I thought about that the other day too. I still see myself in customer service in five years. I hope that I will have developed the competencies and sufficient experience to be considered for a leadership position in customer service, either as a manager or assistant manager. I would like to lead a team, say, with a staff of five and provide customers with good and satisfactory service. In order to achieve that, I want to continually improve my interpersonal and communication skills. This is what I've always loved to do.前兩天我自己也思考到這個問題。我認為五年後我還是會在客戶服務的領域。我希望到時我已具備足以領導客服部門的能力與經驗，擔任經理或副理。我想要自己帶一個團隊，比方說一個五人團隊，提供優質、令人滿意的服務給客戶。為了達成此目標，我要持續地精進我在人際關係與溝通方面的技巧。這是我一直以來喜愛做的事。
