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

Homegrown Organics Review

It looks like Facebook knows that I'm into healthy stuff because last Monday, I saw an ad on Facebook for an online store that sells organic vegetables. Since I love the idea of buying organic vegetables online, I didn't hesitate to try out Homegrown Organics. Plus, they were offering free Sayotes. They had me at free. šŸ˜œ

For my first purchase (and I say first because I'll definitely buy from them again šŸ˜€), I ordered 200 grams of organic Calamansi, 2 kilograms of organic Okra, 200 grams of organic Romaine Lettuce, 500 grams of organic Native Tomato, and a kilogram of Sweet Potato.


I placed my order online last Monday and the vegetables were delivered three days after which is within the estimated delivery time frame that they give (2-3 days). Unfortunately, the Okras were yet to be harvested so I guess they'll deliver those another time. Anyway, I did receive an SMS from Homegrown Organics saying that the Okras can't be delivered yet.




When I saw the delivery guy with several net bags of vegetables, I was so excited. I mean who knew vegetables could get me so stoked! But ever since turning thirty, I have been getting excited about things that I never cared about before like spices and cleaning products. šŸ˜€


The lettuce was definitely organic because I found a snail on one of its leaves šŸ˜œ. At least that's what my dad told me when I was young and I found a worm on a Pechay leaf. šŸ˜œ

What I love about Homegrown Organics is that they offer COD (cash on delivery) which is a very convenient method of payment. I also like that the Homegrown Organics online store has a neat and simple layout and the order process is very straightforward. For orders below 350 pesos, you just have to add a 50 peso delivery free (85 pesos for Marikina and Cainta) and you get free delivery when your order is more than 350 pesos. šŸ˜€


I know that I mentioned that I wanted 5 kilograms of free Sayote in my order but I was still expecting to get just a kilogram. I mean I definitely wasn't expecting Homegrown Organics to give me 5 kilograms of free Sayote! šŸ˜± I guess I will now have to research different recipes where I could use them. šŸ˜ And because I'm the typical millennial, I'll probably have to ask my dad about how to store the Sayote. Hopefully, they don't require refrigeration.

I've always thought that it would be difficult to maintain profitability when it comes to selling vegetables online but I guess some entrepreneurs are finding ways to make it work. Hopefully, Homegrown Organics can make more organic stuff available later like organic Kesong Puti and organic goat's milk. šŸ˜

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
