Niveau d'etude: Non precise
Localité: Etats-Unies / Moorhead
Date limite: 2020-01-22

Communication Service for the Deaf is looking for a French Bilingual Communication Assistant with excellent customer service skills and communication skills to work in our Moorhead, Minnesota Contact Center.
The role of a French Bilingual Communication Assistant is not your traditional or typical customer service role. Telephone Relay Service (TRS) includes all of the fun, positive and rewarding aspects of customer support (office setting, consistent schedule, assisting communication) and eliminates the more exhausting aspects of a call center environment like, sales, quotas, angry customers, troubleshooting & diagnostics, conflict de-escalation, strict call-handle time, or call-waiting queues.
Benefits
Starting wage of $10.00-$12.50 per hour
$1.00 increase upon passing the bilingual fluency test
Hiring for part-time and full-time positions
Eligible for salary increases twice a year
Paid time off (for full-time and part-time employees)
Paid employee benefits for full-time employees after 90 days
Employee rewards for good attendance and performance
Student loan forgiveness eligibility (due to non-profit status)
Flexible backgrounds
Down time is YOUR time!
No sales, no quotas, no tech support, no customer conflict de-escalation
Down time is your time
Did we mention that down time is YOUR time? Because our call center does not have call-waiting queues you can expect to have a little bit of down time between each phone call. During this time you are able to work on personal projects at your work station, with the exclusion of using some electronic devices such as cell phones. It’s a great way to work on some homework, read the books you never have time for, pick up a new hobby (perhaps knitting or crocheting), or learn something new – like American Sign Language!

Benefits
Make a Difference
As a non-profit organization, “service” is our middle name. If you're interested in making a difference (and getting paid for it) then CSD may be the place for you.
Why is customer service an important skill for our communication assistants to have? Communication Assistants provide communication access for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and people with a speech disability by relaying telephone calls using voice and a computer. Your role would be to relay phone conversations between deaf consumers and hearing individuals by reading what is typed by the deaf caller and voicing that to the hearing individual. Then, hearing what is said by the hearing individual and typing that information to the deaf caller, with the contents of the call relayed as accurately as possible without intervening in the conversation.
Our call center is unlike any call center environment you’ve ever experienced before. It’s truly a position where you can experience the best of both worlds – a call center environment without the hassle of difficulties of customer relations. Simply put, you're processing telecommunications for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals - that's it. Each and every day, the work that you'll be doing is making a difference and an impact in someone else's life.
