Tell me about yourself

Thank you for the opportunity to attend this interview..

And the weather looks good, I hope it doesn’t rain tonight because I want to go skating with my friends


Sure! My name is Luis, as you can see in my CV I am systems technician from SENA. I worked at Humanity and Inclusion for 6 months, I was involved in partner training on system and tool usage. I provided basic IT support, including installation, configuration, and maintenance.


After that I worked full-time as a bilingual customer service agent at Teleperformance for one year. Then, I continued working parti-time while studying for six months. Then, I decided to fully focus on my studies so I reached the sixth trimester of my technologist program in software analysis and develepment, which is currently on hold, but I plan to complete it in the long term.

And working as a bilingual customer service agent for Teleperformance at Nordstrom, which is an American luxury department store chain, I handled inquiries from customers via phone, email, and chats related to orders and order logistics using tracking numbers and escalated technical incidents when necessary.


So I learned how to handle customer concerns with empathy, multitask effectively, and stay comfortable working under pressure due to the back-to-back calls we had at Teleperformance. and my background in Systems Technology also helped me understand technical issues and explain solutions clearly to clients.

And now I am looking for a job to continue improving my skills and gain more experience in the industry.

Sure! I am systems technician from SENA.

As you can see in my CV, I initially worked full-time as a bilingual customer service agent at Teleperformance for one year. After that, I continued working parti-time while studying for six months. Then, I decided to fully focus on my studies Because I was studying in the afternoon and Teleperformance changed the work schedule to the afternoon, so I reached the sixth trimester of my technologist program in software analysis and develepment, which is currently on hold because I need to start working to gain more experience, improving my english and skills and also because I live on my own., but I plan to complete it in the long term.

So I learned how to handle customer concerns with empathy and for my background in systems technology helped me to understand technical issues and explain solutions to the clients.


In my personal life,I am a relaxed person that’s why I enjoy meditating, going to the gym, I love skating with my friends,

I usually go on Sundays with a guided group to visit the small towns of Antioquia. What I enjoy most about it is the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds while enjoying nature, exploring beautiful place and swimming. So Both of these activities help me maintain a positive and balanced mindset.

Sometimes, I like to read. I recently bought a Kindle to build my reading habit, so I’m currently reading Your Soul's Plan, which is about discovering the real meaning of life. I also watch TV shows on Netflix, my favorite is Black Mirror because each episode explores a dystopian future in science fiction.

And I like languages; my favorite is German. So when I want to learn English I use a free Chrome extension called Frogly That allows you to view dual subtitles in two languagues at the same time and with the Kindle, there's a dictionary and a translator include it where I can translate anything I want to understand just by highlighting a word or an entire sentence, so tha’s a little bit about me.

Tell us a bit more, what is your favorite TV Show/movie?

“My favorite movie is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I like it because the story shows how someone who doubts himself can discover his own potential when he decides to take action. In the movie, Walter spends a lot of time imagining a different life, and he doesn’t believe he’s capable of much. But as he faces challenges, he realizes that the answer was inside him all along — he was capable, even though he didn’t see it at first.

I connect that message with customer service, because in this role you constantly face new situations, and sometimes the pressure can make you doubt yourself. But like Walter, you learn that staying calm, being resourceful, and trusting your abilities helps you solve problems and support the customer in the best way.

This movie reminds me that confidence, patience, and initiative can transform any challenge into something positive.

My favorite movie is The Matrix. I really like it because I’m a spiritual person who’s always searching for the meaning of life and trying to understand reality beyond what we see. The movie explores deep questions about human existence, free will, and how we sometimes live in a kind of illusion created by society or technology.

What I love the most is how it connects action and philosophy — it makes you think while keeping you entertained. Every time I watch it, I notice new details and new meanings. It inspires me to keep questioning things and to stay open-minded about what’s real and what’s not.

What are your plans for the future?


I am looking for an opportunity to grow in the BPO industry and use my English skills, and this role fits with my desire to help others

If I get this job, I will be working at Lean solution group, where I can improve my English and continue growing professionally.

.Otherwise, I will continue being self-taught, studying programming courses on a platform called Udemy, to keep applying for web or software development jobs and also bilingual customer service agent jobs.

My goal is to fully master the responsabilities of the role I will be undertaking improving my comunicacion and technical skills, after that I see myself working in a higher position such as team leader, QA or trainer where I can guide new agents with my knowledge of the services and product and contributing with the company's success and grow


So that's my main goal to built a meaningful career within the bpo industry, ideally within this company Lean solutions group.

I have two academic trimesters left, plus two more that correspond to the internship phase required to graduate. So, in the long term, I would like to complete it.

And my dream has always been to speak German and live in Switzerland, so i would like to persue that, and of course with a computer engineering.

I already live on my own, I don't want kids or pets, although love the pugs but I do not have time, and the most important thing for me is to continue evolving my consciousness through meditation, to know my true self.

Did you see the movie 'Men in Black'? The pug is the dog that talks, A pug is a small dog breed with a wrinkled face.

(Muestra el peluche) I have it as a stuffed animal because I can't have it in real life.

Tell us about a difficult situation or issue you faced and how you solved it.


Working at Humanity and Inclusion,I faced a situation where the printers weren't working properly. To fix them, I had to access its configuration via IP and remove the printers, but I needed the admin password to reconfigure them and the administrator who had it wasn’t available, and it was an urgent issue because the company couldn’t be without printing or faxing capabilities. So I learned how to properly access the network settings and took the initiative to learn the entire configuration process in advance. As a result, when the administrator returned and provided the password, I was able to complete the setup immediately, successfully resolving the issue and minimizing workflow disruption."

That taught me the importance of being prepared, even if you don’t have everything on hand.



One difficult and challenging situation that comes to mind is when I started working at Teleperformance as a customer service agent in September. It was my first bilingual job, and I had never studied English in an academy. All the English I knew, I had learned in school. plus, I had a 3-month probation period. In December, I had to deal with the holiday season, when problems with carriers and upset customers are more common. We were also evaluated with the CSAT(Customer Satisfaction Score), and if we didn't have good metrics, we could be transferred to another campaign or even fired, Fortunately, I passed..so I had to face the challenge of handling calls staying calms with confidence in my knowledge of the products and services, and in my English to assist customers. The second part was being efficient to keep a good AHT, and the third was helping with empathy to achieve a good CSAT.”

One time, I had a phone call with a customer who had returned an expensive product — I don't remember which one — and the return policy was one month from the purchase date."

"She had reported the issue on time via email, but every time she called, no one helped her.". Since we were also evaluated on the AHT (Average Handling Time), I didn’t care even if I lost the $50 bonus we were given each month. I decided to stay over an hour with the customer, trying to help her. I even called a supervisor, and she told me she had listened to part of the call and that it was great I told the customer I would help her, and not to worry because she would take care of the situation. So, I left with the conviction of having helped the customer, and she gave me a positive rating."

So, even if it was just because they received a product on time or a dress for a wedding, for them, it was something very important.
