The Challenge

Best Buy customers and internal team members needed timely, accurate help with technology questions — from device setup and software issues to account access and connectivity problems. Every interaction required clear documentation so issues could be tracked, escalated, or resolved correctly.

The Approach

I followed a structured support workflow: listen to the user's issue, attempt standard troubleshooting steps, document the problem and actions taken, and escalate when needed. I explained technical steps in plain language for non-technical customers while maintaining accurate service notes for team follow-up.

Key Responsibilities

Supported customers with device setup guidance, software-related issues, and common computer and mobile-device needs. Maintained accurate service notes and customer interaction details. Handled sensitive account and device information following privacy expectations. Collaborated with team members to identify recurring technical problems and recommend practical resolutions.

Results & Impact

Developed practical experience in customer-facing IT support, professional communication, and problem-solving in a U.S. business environment. Built a foundation in ticket documentation, issue escalation, and consistent service quality that carries forward into remote technical and AI work.
