How many skills should a Customer Service Representative resume list?
8–14, grouped by category, front-loading what the specific posting asks for. A wall of 30 skills dilutes the signal — ATS ranking favors focused matches.
Should I list skills I'm still learning?
Not in the skills section. If a posting requires something you're learning, mention it honestly in context ("currently completing X certification") — never present it as a working skill.
Do soft skills belong on a Customer Service Representative resume?
Show them through achievements instead of listing them. "Coordinated a 4-person team to deliver X" proves teamwork better than the word "teamwork" ever will.
