Cover letter sampleDear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Customer Service Representative position at Catawiki. With native-level German and English, and over 3 years of customer support experience, I have developed the communication and problem-solving skills needed to delight customers and resolve disputes effectively.

I am particularly drawn to Catawiki's dynamic, fast-paced environment and the opportunity to work with unique objects. My ability to switch between channels and collaborate with cross-functional teams aligns perfectly with the role's requirements.

I am flexible with scheduling, including weekends, and excited to contribute to a diverse and inclusive company. Thank you for considering my application; I look forward to discussing how I can add value to your team.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Copy   Sample interview questionsCan you describe a time you handled a difficult customer complaint?Sure. In my previous role, a customer was upset about a delayed order. I listened actively, apologized, and investigated the issue. I provided a clear timeline and offered a small discount as compensation. The customer appreciated the transparency and continued using our service.

Why do you want to work at Catawiki specifically?

I love the uniqueness of Catawiki's marketplace and the fact that every day brings special objects. I also value the company's core values, especially taking ownership and being open to change. It feels like a place where I can grow and make a real impact on customer experience.

How do you handle switching between different communication channels quickly?

I use a structured approach: I prioritize urgent queries, keep concise notes, and use CRM tools to stay organized. I also make sure to maintain a calm and focused mindset, which helps me transition smoothly from a phone call to an email without losing context.

This role requires working weekends and being flexible. How do you manage work-life balance?

I understand that customer service must be available when customers need it. I plan my personal activities around my schedule and ensure I get enough rest. I've worked weekend shifts before and find that a positive attitude and good time management keep me energized.

How would you mediate a dispute between a buyer and a seller?

I would first listen to both sides without bias, asking clarifying questions to understand the issue. Then I would review any available evidence and company policies. I would propose a fair solution, typically a partial refund or return, and communicate it clearly to both parties to ensure mutual satisfaction.

At Catawiki, every day brings the extraordinary! Whether it’s [Daniel Ricciardo’s Formula 1 Car](https://www.catawiki.com/en/c/583-sports-memorabilia), a [Woolly Mammoth’s Skeleton](https://www.catawiki.com/en/c/579-fossils), [Lady Gaga’s Jumpsuit](https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/10035805) or [Usain Bolt’s running shoe](https://www.catawiki.com/en/c/583-sports-memorabilia), we encounter exceptional objects every day.

We’re a one-of-a-kind marketplace for buying and selling special objects. Each week, more than 100,000 unique items are auctioned, all carefully curated by our passionate in-house experts.

Having sold over 25 million unique objects, our mission is to become the world’s most popular destination for special objects. As a growing, diverse and sustainable scale-up, we proudly live by three core values. If these values resonate with you, we’d love to explore how you can join us.

You make sure that customer queries are addressed and resolved in a correct and timely manner via diverse channels (chat, email, phone, social media). When there is a dispute between a seller and a buyer, you will mediate between the customers and find a solution that works for both.

* Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
* Preferably, previous experience in a customer service environment or a customer-related role (hospitality, tourism, retail, call-centre, etc.).
* Ability to quickly switch between various customer channels, like phone and e-mail communications.
* Ability to positively interact with your team and other departments.
* Available to work 40 hours per week.
* You are willing to commute to our Lisbon office and work in the office at least 2 days per week.
* You are flexible with working at least 2 weekends a month and on some public holidays.
* This role is based in Lisbon, Portugal.

Hear what our current CS Representative say about the role:

“As a CS International Representative at Catawiki, I enjoy being part of a team that strives to provide an excellent level of service to our buyers and sellers. Working with customers who are passionate about their special objects keeps the role engaging and fulfilling. No two cases are the same, and we are continually learning and adapting to the fast-paced, exciting environment that working at Catawiki brings. It is valuable to be a part of such a diverse and inclusive company where our voices are valued and heard. We are equipped with the tools and support to thrive as specialists and grow within Catawiki.”.
