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

Dennis Coffee Garden Review

I first heard about Dennis Coffee Garden from a classmate in college. I read from some history book that coffee beans from Sulu used to fetch a really high price in the world market back in the Spanish colonial era. So when I learned that Dennis Coffee Garden served coffee made from coffee beans grown in Sulu, I was instantly interested and told myself that I will definitely drop by when I get a chance to visit Zamboanga city.


History

Dennis Coffee Garden first started in Jolo, Sulu in 1962 before it was brought to Zamboanga city by Imelda Dagus, an enterprising OFW who risked her comfortable life and high-paying job abroad to pursue her dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Imelda Dagus was inspired to become an entrepreneur when she read Robert Kiyosaki's book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, a story that resonates with most entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. With Dennis Coffee Garden's unique concept, I predict that it's only a matter of time before they start offering franchises. šŸ˜‰


The Food

During my vacation in Zamboanga city, I have visited Dennis Coffee Garden four times and every single time, I was wowed by their food. Ordering was definitely an experience because all their dishes sounded so exotic and I didn't even know if I was pronouncing their names correctly. šŸ˜œ What was good about their food was that everything was freshly made and delivered piping hot to your table. During the four times that I have visited them, I must say that I have not ordered anything that I didn't like.



Out of everything I tried at Dennis Coffee Garden, my favorite was the Putlihmandi. šŸ˜€


The Coffee

The second time I visited Dennis Coffee Garden, I made sure to order the native coffee and drink it black. I'm really not a coffee connoisseur so I can't tell a good coffee from a bad one. But I do know how to tell coffee that is not fresh and watered down and the native coffee I had at Dennis Coffee Garden was anything but! šŸ˜€


Branches

Dennis Coffee Garden has two branches in Zamboanga city, one is located along San Jose Road and the other is inside the KCC Mall de Zamboanga. I'm not sure about the San Jose branch, but the KCC branch is always packed all day long. šŸ˜²


The Menu





What I Love About It

I totally love what Dennis Coffee Garden is doing in preserving the Tausug culture and making it more mainstream. The very unique and rich traditions of the Tausug people definitely deserve the limelight and I hope that someday, through coffee from Sulu, the stigma that this place and its people have will be a thing of the past.

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

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 ZamboangueƱo 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 CaviteƱa 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
