[l3inad]

---

. ACtually I have plans to aply in a call center. Its just my goal to earn those salary. lol
About me, Im still 19, stopped this sem, know a lil on english, addicted to my computer for a year now and knows the internet well.
So im just thinking to ask for your opinion, about any call center company, the way they're highring ,some advice maybe. Cuz I think other company's might just have those high standards in them. Now im asking, how possiblly can I be accepted. Im might need those opinions, sugestion you might give. anything' will be greatly appreciated hehe..

-Thanks very much

sorry to burn your bubble but being addicted to internet is not a requirement and it doesn't add points. in most call centers surfing is not allowed. only company or work related sites are allowed. so getting caught browsing means you get a bad rec ord and can lead to possible termination.

being good or okay is not enough in call centers unless they are local. you must have above average command of the english language.

anyway the most important thing is you have above average communication skills. if you have that then malaki chance mo to get it. since that is the most basic requirement and oh don't forget 2 yrs of college. the rest is easier. you have lots of choices on which call center.

@l3inad - It would be better if you finish your studies first before working. Based on personal experience, you have better opportunities for advancement. You would also have the tendency to lose interest in school once you get a high paying job. It is okay if you can work part time in a call center while studying. A very good command of the English language is a must. You should be very fluent and confident. No uhmms, ahhh, and any other filler word. Correct intonation is also a must because most people can speak English but may not always have the proper intonation.Â* All in all, it is up to you. I hope that I was able to be of help to you. Good luck l3inad!

I know uve heard a lot of whines and negative feedback regarding working with a call center on other forums....but honestly, i gotta say that i feel fulfilled working within the call center industry....though its true na challenging sya and competitive...so if ur upto it...i wish u all the best and im pretty sure that sooner ul land a nice job in one of the call centers here in Cebu.
