The main product is speech log , it’s call recording system for quality assurance.
For example issues like the call is not recorded or the is recorded without voice then we receive it by CRM system the we communicate with our customer and the we solve it

Evaluation:

Your answer provides a basic overview of your experience with technical support, specifically regarding a call recording system. However, it could benefit from more detail and structure. Here’s an evaluation of your response:

1. Clarity and Structure: Your answer is somewhat unclear. You used phrases like "my role was solved problem," which should be "my role involved solving problems." Proper grammar and structure enhance professionalism.

2. Specific Examples: You offered a general issue (calls not being recorded) but didn't detail how you resolved it. Providing a specific example of a troubleshooting process, tools used, or steps taken can illustrate your problem-solving skills.

3. Customer Interaction: You mentioned communication with customers, but elaborating on how you ensured customer satisfaction or how you handled difficult situations would strengthen your response.

4. Technical Knowledge: Highlighting any technical knowledge or tools you utilized during troubleshooting (e.g., software diagnostics, logs analysis) demonstrates your expertise.

5. Outcome and Impact: Mentioning the outcomes of your resolutions, such as improved customer satisfaction or increased system reliability, shows the positive impact of your support.

Improvement suggestion: You could reframe your response like this: "In my role as a technical support representative, I primarily focused on resolving issues related to our main product, a speech logging system for quality assurance. One common issue I encountered was calls not being recorded properly. I used our CRM system to track these issues, reaching out to customers to gather details about the problem. Then, I investigated the system settings, checked for software updates, and analyzed call logs to identify the root cause. Once I pinpointed the issue, I guided the customer through the necessary steps to rectify it. This approach not only resolved the issue but also helped build stronger relationships with our clients."
