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...

How to Borrow Load from Globe Through Globe's GTSOS 3733

It continues: With Globe's Text Emergency Service, send an important text when you need it! Here's how it works: Borrow 3 texts to Globe/TM valid for 1 day + P1 load.

Something Fishy Eastwood Review

Image
Do you remember how my friend and I ate at a buffet at Chef Laudico’s Bfast last weekend? Well, I think I may be on a roll here. This week it was my brother and I who went to a buffet at Something Fishy Eastwood. It was my brother who suggested the place. I said yes immediately when I found out that it only costs 199 pesos. The reviews that I found online of the Something Fishy Midnight to Morning Buffet only helped me feel more excited about the buffet. I also liked the idea of eating at midnight since working the graveyard shift; this was my usual lunch schedule. I arrived at my brother’s place at around 1 AM. We took a jeepney from where Pure Gold used to be in Cubao (which is now an SM). The jeepney sign board said Rosario Pasig. You can also just ask around where the jeepney going to Libis is if you’re looking for directions. From Cubao, it is about 15 minutes to get to Something Fishy EastWood on a Monday mornight. The jeepney ride was excruciating because we had to wai...
