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

Philippine Idol all over again...


Yes, it was like Philippine Idol all over again in the K! The one million videooke challenge!

In the episode tonight, Mau Marcelo and Jan Nieto battled it out with Mocha, Pinoy Pop Superstars, and others. Mau and Jan Nieto were the clear finalists even in the earlier rounds. They got only a few mistakes and sang flawlessly.

Reminiscent of the Philippine Idol days, Mau and Jan stood out to battle in the last round. It was surprising that Jan Nieto didn't sing even once and took a pass all the time (in the last round). And as in Philippine Idol, Mau Marcelo won (over Jan Nieto) and proceeded to the Jackpot round.

Mau Marcelo's K!hilingan went to the GMA Kapuso Foundation (Mr. Manuel de la Fuente). Her home partner was Domingo Mapola from Pasay.

Songs that were sang during the show were Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako, This is the Moment, White Christmas, and My All.

Here are some photos from the K! videooke show with Mau and Jan in it.





Additionally, here is a mini clip of tonight's episode with mau singing in it.

How to Register to DITO Promos Thru Text

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to register to DITO promos without going through their app. I don't know why but apparently DITO's app needs internet connection to be accessed. How very counterintuitive! Imagine, I was about to register to a Smart Promo just to access their app and subscribe to a promo! Anyway, thank goodness I was able to find a way to subscribe to DITO promos without using their app. Here is how you can register to DITO promos thru text: 1. Text HELP or 0000 to 185. This is free of charge. 2. You will receive a reply with the menu. Choose 'Buy Promo'. 3. Choose your desired promo and confirm your purchase. That's it! Now you just have to wait for a text confirmation or try to check if you can now access the internet. Hope this helps you out!

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
