Prepare an example of customer care for office runner work

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Think through who uses your work and what they need from it.

A customer might be a visitor, another team or someone waiting for an update. In internal errands and document delivery, they may need accurate information about delivery instructions and receipt confirmations. Think of a time someone asked you for help and say what you did to understand the request.

Show how you closed the loop

If two envelopes are addressed to departments with similar names, a helpful action would be to confirm the recipient before delivering and record the handover. In your own example, explain what you communicated and how you knew the person had the information they needed. If you couldn’t solve it immediately, describe the next step and how you kept them informed.
