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

Legends of India Restaurant Buffet Review

It all started when my friend and I ate at the New Bombay restaurant which was an Indian restaurant just in front of RCBC. It was my first time to eat Indian, and I totally loved it. Yes, it was expensive, and the serving was small but it felt like the price was just right because the quality of the food was superb.

Anyway, one day I stumbled upon the Cash Cash Pinoy website and saw the Legends of India buffet voucher. It was discounted some 60%! So I immediately set out to purchase one. Imagine paying 300 php for an Indian Food buffet. I thought, what a great deal it was, NOT!!!


My friend and I met at the Buendia MRT station. I know from experience that Jupiter Street is not that far away from the train station. Well, I was right, it wasn't that far away but what I didn't know was that Jupiter Street span probably a hundred meters. But I thought, oh hell, I need all the hunger I can muster for the buffet. So my friend and I walked some seventy-five meters from the train station to the restaurant.

When we got to the restaurant, I immediately noticed that the ambiance was nice. It had a nice elegant feel to it. Not much "Indian" decor but it was nice nonetheless. The only Indian references in the restaurant were the Bollywood performances being shown in the large flat screen TV and the Hindu (?) gods on the counter.

The voucher said that the buffet would be open at 12 PM but 15 minutes before 12, they already allowed us to take food from the buffet table.

We began with the appetizers. The appetizers looked like Empanadas stuffed with potatoes and chicken. There was also soup. This was where I began feeling dismayed with the food. At first I thought it was just me. But my friend confirmed my suspicion. I honestly could not believe that I was tasting such horrible food from a seemingly nice restaurant. It was just really bad!






Then my friend and I thought, oh maybe it's just the appetizers, we haven't tried the main courses yet. Oh boy! Was I in for a big disappointment! When we got to the main course, all our hopes vanished. The curry sauce was watered down. The rice did not feel right in the mouth. I really just couldn't believe that I was tasting such horrible food. Every single dish was just a class A disaster!






I couldn't understand it either. There were Indian customers in the restaurant so you would think that the food is good. I actually had a sneaking suspicion that the quality of the food had something to do with the fact that it was a smorgasbord. But one would think that they entered the buffet deal to promote the restaurant. I mean doesn't it make sense to lose some money and as a result gain a regular customer? Isn't that how marketing works? I just don't get it.

We left this restaurant very disappointed.

At this point, you might think that I should probably mention some redeeming qualities of this restaurant but I'm not going to. Why? Because there're none. I honestly felt like I should've just stayed at home, cooked Pancit Canton, and watched TV.

I'm going to end this entry with a two word description of the Legends of India buffet experience: Useless and Disappointing.

Cuando by Comic Relief song lyrics

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
