14 Call Center Interview Questions & Answers

Image
The call center industry is one of the fastest growing in the country these days. As recently as ten years ago, there were only a few call center agents and the word call center was hardly ever used in the country. Today, almost every family has at least one member working in the call center industry. The reason for this boom is partly economics. In the Philippines, low paying jobs are very notorious and while call centers set up shop here because of the low labor costs, Filipinos decide to work for the call center industry because it pays higher than average wages. Consider this: if you are an average worker with an entry level position, you probably are getting paid seven to ten thousand a month; meanwhile, an average employee in the call center industry with an entry level position will get around fifteen thousand pesos a month, plus free dental and health benefits (HMO). Call centers also will pay your SSS (Social Security), PAGIBIG (home building fund), and PhilHealth (health ins

Wendy: Saviour of PBB 2

We saw it in the news. PBB ratings are not quite as high as its previous ratings. Why you ask. Well if you watch a single episode of PBB 2, you would notice that it is not as interesting as PBB 1. First of, the current personalities inside the house are not a good mix. The PBB 1 housemates were much more funny, colorful, and real. The current housemates are so dull, boring, and safe. I guess you can say that the second batch of housemates are really playing the game.The problem I think is that the current batch of housemates have seen PBB 1 and all the other editions. Therefore, they are more prone to act cautiously.

And in a bid to spark some conflict inside Kuya's house, Uma was asked to enter the PBB house once again some few weeks ago. And then I guess that did it! We saw massive fireworks inside the house brought about by Wendy. Of course we all know that conflict beget a rise in ratings.

Personally, I hate the show. What kind of values are we as a nation possibly getting from that show? Tomorrow, the controversial show will come to an end. Hopefully people know more than to spend their hard earned money in voting for their favorite PBB housemate who can do nothing for them.

    i'm not really an avid fan of PBB. i used to watch the 1st season. the current season i've only seen just a couple of episodes i think. i can't stand the drama and the kaplastikan of the PBB2. i don't know really because i don't watch it that much, but it's just my opinion. i also find some of their tasks kinda corny and trying hard to be funny. hehe... i personally think that most people who join PBB just wanted to become a celebrity. or they just wanted to win prize. well, there's nothing wrong with wanting to win. i just don't like it when some of them make up stories or whatever just to win.

    I'm not a big fan either, but my mom is. She watches 24/7 religiously, it's scary.

    However, I have to admit I have been texting/voting myself ONLY because I don't want Wendy to win. Allowing someone like her to win is against my principles, as a Filipino and as a human being.

    We have 24/7 here in our home. Seeing Wendy is sickening now than before. Seeing Wendy votes are far worse than seeing dagdag-bawas happening on Philippine Elecctions. On the other hand, I do feel bad for Wendy entering the Big Four. Well she is happy because she has won something already but the thing is that people will mob her when she comes out and she will have problems of her career plans. tsk, tsk...

    I will no longer watch PBB after this. [Pff.-->spits in disgust]I think ABSCBN should end that PBB franchise because it does not promote Filipino values. They should stop using the song "Pinoy Ako". It's not about promoting Filipino values anymore- it's about money and the Hawthorne Effect. LOL.

Cuando by Comic Relief song lyrics

Image
I could describe Comic Relief in two words: cutting edge. Gone now are the times when all the Chabacano songs that we hear were about the place itself. We finally heard a pop song in Chabacano. What's great is that it's not just any Chabacano pop song, it's a good one too. It doesn't sound corny like the other songs that we hear and it's very modernized so the youth could very much relate to it. Pirmi kita ta oi: bueno pa el maga Bisaya, bale el maga de ila cancion. Pues, ahora tiene ya tambien kita bale canciones en Chabacano. Cuando Lyrics by Comic Relief Que tal man tu ahora? Donde anda? Libre ba tu, puede yo lleva pasea Pasencia conmigo Si bodi man yo Pero precura yo dale contigo el todo Hinde ba tu ta sinti? De jalo lang que sufri Ta canta este cancion Con todo mi corazon pati mi pensamiento Cuando, cuando contesta? Pirmi yo ta resa Que kita dos ay queda Tu dulce palabra Pirmi yo ta espera Cuando tu contesta Si hinde ahora Cunda

No te Vayas de Zamboanga Song Lyrics

Image
No te vayas, no te vayas de Zamboanga Que me puedes, que me puedes olvidar No te vayas, no te vayas, ni me dejes Que yo sin ti, no puedo estar No llores, paloma mia No llores que volvere No llores que en cuando llegue Paloma mia, te escribire Con un pluma de ave Y un pedazo de papel Con la sangre de mis venas Paloma mia, te escribire. No Te Vayas de Zamboanga  is a Zamboangueño Spanish folk song written by Juan Cuadrado, Sr., a Spaniard who decided to stay in Zamboanga after the Spanish soldiers left the country. I read somewhere that this song was used in a Zarzuela entitled De Cavite A Zamboanga . In this Zarzuela , a Caviteña sings this song to her boyfriend who is going to Zamboanga. This is probably why there are versions wherein this song is titled No Te Vayas A Zamboanga . In fact, the English version of this song is translated from No Te Vayas A Zamboanga (Don't you go to far Zamboanga). This title however doesn't sit well among Zamboang
