      Customer Service Representative/Supervisor

      Working with customers who were predominantly but not limited to foreign nationality tourists. Role involved finding the best tours and breaks throughout Ireland that would offer that customer the most wholesome experience while visiting Ireland. The key to this position was to make sure customers were receiving the best package for themselves, if customers felt that they had booked a bespoke package this would most often alleviate any cognitive dissonance. This was of the upmost importance as regularly customers would book 3 or 4 tours during their week long stay in Dublin. Show less
