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...

Is Heaven Real?

“What if … what if heaven is real, but only in moments? Like a glass of water on a hot day when you’re dying of thirst, or when someone’s nice to you for no reason, or …” Mam’s pancakes with Mars Bar sauce; Dad dashing up from the bar just to tell me, “Sleep tight don’t let the bedbugs bite"

I was reading a novel, and that part of the novel reminded me how peculiar and vague our idea of "heaven" is. For most people, heaven is a place where they see dead relatives who behaved well during their time on Earth. For others, it is a place where you don't have to worry about food or water or anything else, and you just live forever.

The more that I think about the heaven that religion paints for us, the more skeptical I become. Is living forever without any conflicts whatsoever truly heaven? What then becomes our purpose in heaven after becoming a spirit being and not having to worry about earthly wants and needs?

I read an article which said that heaven is what Earth will become after Christ's second coming and that mankind's ultimate reward (aside from becoming spirit beings) is to populate other planets. If you ask me, this reward makes more sense because it talks about a specific purpose.

I don't know about you, but an immortal life where there is absolutely nothing to do does not sound very inviting to me. A peaceful life sounds good to me but an everlasting peaceful life? How much peace can you actually take?

It is a fact that for good to exist, there has to be evil. Heat or warmth is impossible without cold. There can not be light without darkness. So in the heaven that religion teaches us, how can we appreciate peace in the absence of conflicts? Can you imagine eating Lechon everyday for all eternity? I'm sure at some point, you'll grow weary of it no matter how good it tastes.

For many people, these things shouldn't even be questioned. I, myself am scared to think about these things because I feel like it is blasphemy to do so. However, I think that if we spend a good deal of our lives looking forward to going to "heaven" and much of our decisions is centered on that thought, it is only right that we have a detailed and thorough knowledge of what "heaven" actually is.

But what about the religious people who are behaving very well in this life so that they will go to "heaven" one day? Do they have a good idea of what heaven is? Or do all that they see are fluffy clouds and harp-playing cherubs? Do they realize how shady "heaven" is? But a better question is: do people behave well on Earth because they want to go to heaven or because they are afraid of being roasted alive in "hell"?

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...
