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).

I was heading home when I decided to drop by the mall. When I got there, I saw a sign that said: COMELEC Election 2016 Registration. I remember seeing something about this on the news on TV. The news report, however, said that it is only for those who are registered in Mandaluyong. I assumed that this meant that it is for people who are reactivating their profiles with COMELEC and were registered in Mandaluyong.
