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

No te Vayas de Zamboanga Song Lyrics

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 ZamboangueƱo 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 CaviteƱa 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 ZamboangueƱos, especially as the city's image is already tarnished by several bombings and some terrorist attacks in the past.

Here is an English translation of No Te Vayas de Zamboanga:

Don't you go, don't you go to far Zamboanga
Where you may forget your darling far away
Don't you go, don't you go, for if you leave me
How can I, without you stay?

Oh weep not, my dear Paloma
Oh weep not, for I'll return
Oh weep not, my little darling
I shall remember, and I shall yearn.

With a feather of a bird
And a piece of paper
With the blood from my veins
My little darling, I shall write to you.

  5. Although the spoken commentary is articulated in Chabacano (i.e., grammatically incorrect Spanish), the lyrics of the song (la letra de la canciĆ³n) are delivered in impeccable Spanish.
