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.

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.
