nag-call center din ako... at grabe, naluoy ako sa loob ng 2 buwan. no-brainer at puro pa pa-sosyal ang mga katrabaho mo. (no offense meant). mantakin mo, naka-N80 (yun pa ang uso noon) pero walang pambayad ng kuryente? tsk tsk.

ang masasabi ko lng saludo ako sa mga call center agents..dahil kaya nila yung mga bagay na di ko kayang gawin..ang magtrabaho buong magdamag at matulog sa araw at yung maya't maya tumatawag sa phone or mag take ng calls..

kaya deserve nyo talaga ang higher compensation..

working in a call center is not a joke. you have to talk for 8 hours a day, 5 times a week for some.....
trying your best to either sell, troubleshoot, etc and sometimes even lie to convince customers and ofcourse deal with stupid people.

yun nga lang, kahit high school grad can easily enter the industry, which is i think, for me, is nakakadegrade kasi kalevel mo high school grad lang? (no offense).

aside from that, wala kami holidays, hindi fixed ang schedule, and sobra mapolitika inside....


the only motivation that we only get is the high compensation..... =((

OT: don't feel degraded kung may kasama ka man na HS grad..for sure di nila ginusto na di cla makapagcollege..

ako nga bilib sa knila kasi minsan daig pa nila yung nakatapos ng pag-aaral,walang work kaht sa call center di matanggap..eh cla HS grad pero magaling magenglish,call center agent..diba parang nakakainspire pa nga..

kaya saludo rin ako sa mga company na nagbibigay ng opportunity sa mga katulad nilang hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral..

cguro what we should do is to look for a job that really fits our educational attainment..

I've tried that a lot of times, natatanggap nga ako pero ibang job naman ang inooffer saken! I'm a frustrated MARKETER! sayang ang ideas na naiisip ko! I have a list here..... hehe...

siguro I need to establish my own business so i can put my ideas into reality.....

i have nothing against hi school grads, don't take me wrong.... i just can't help myself being annoyed with what others think of call center agents... most people tend to think that it's an easy job and we can't get into some major companies here in the phillies so we tend to stick with our skill which I admit, i acquired from call centers and that is to speak ENGLISH.

but also, knowing or being ENGLISH literate doesn't justify a person's intelligence.  ;)

so ganun gawin mo,make the most out of it..habang nanjan ka,develop and improve your skills..at pag tingin mo you have enough,try mo uli maghanap ng work outside call center/bpo industry..just keep on trying..

at since malaki sweldo mo..tama iinvest mo yan or ipunin mo para makapagstart ka ng sarili mong business..that's the best option para kumita ng pera..that way,fully magagamit mo na yung marketing skills mo..and the best part of it..ikaw ang boss!..

There's nothing wrong working in a call center as long as you have a goal. In this type of industry you can develop a lot of your skills aside from your english proficiency.

Like in my case, I started as a CSR but now Im in a management position so my leadership and management skill is being honed. Also, in my current line of work, I have the power to create processes and develop systems so in this case my background in Comp Sci is put into action.

When you work in this industry, you just have to look at it on a different perspective and make the most out of it.

Finally, working in this type on industry is not for no brainers (well I think it depends on the company and the account you are supporting)

Almost 1 year din ako nagtrabaho sa call center(NCO) bago nagcollege. Siguro kung di dumating yung opportunity para magcollege baka nandun pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Gusto ko kasing ipakita sa tatay ko noon na kaya kong makahanap ng trabaho ng hindi umaasa sa business niya. Hindi naman siguro dapat mafeel na degraded kung may kasama ka na HS graduate lang. Mas nanliliit pa nga ako noon dahil mga nakapagcollege yung kasama ko.

hmm, hindi ako call center agent pero sa tingin ko sa una lang naman kapag nag aadjust ka, pero kapag tumagal masasanay ka din.

depende din sa company mo, may call center company na nakakastress kaya ang tuloy si empleyado ang nahihirapan.  ;)

HSBC is still the best! they'll do everything to keep you in the company.

perks of working with the world's local bank:
- high salary ofcourse
- you can eat inside the floor (finger food)
- gym in the office
- good facilitiy
- always dress down
- core leave every year (10 days off VL)
- 25 days VL and SL combined
- HMO on your third month
- appraisal every year
- free whatever during christmas
- probationary employees already have VL and SL
- you can put your feet on top of your station while working
- not queuing
- easy account
- cool people
- training is good for 2 months, so u're paid to sit and listen only

only disadvantage is: no salary increase  on your 6th month

we deliver high performance to our clients, not just on what they need but we also make things to improve their processess in terms of IT services, BPO and Solutions.

clue na yan.

dun kami nawo-work ni Marfz. hahaha

-----------------

naging call center agent ako for 4 years, naranasan ko lahat ng style sa work na yan.

-technical service rep ako sa iyang telephone service provider sa USA
-outbound techincal rep sa US client
-naging outbound sales rep ako sa isang UK client
-naging slaes rep ako sa UK cleint namin
-naging inbound cust service rep sa UK client
-naging back office admin rep ako sa UK client (non-voice)
-naging fraud specialist sa UK client (non-voice)
-naging mini-team lead ako
-naging QA ako

***sa 4 years na naging "call center agent", ipagmamayabang ko na nadaanan ko na lahat ng ginagawa ng isang call center agent***

hindi biro ang mag work sa bpo, teah- given malaki sahud mo pero ang kaltas ng tax ay hindi din biro, sa 4 years ko sa trabaho na yan almost 9K tax ang kinuha sa akin sa isang payday lang.  >:(

ngayun andito pa rin ako sa same company pero im working as

-expense specialist
-microsoft project maintenance specialist
-subject matter expert sa dalawang tools namin

*lumipat ako ng capability dahil hindi sa ayaw ko na mag bpo kundi dahil wala ng challenge for me ang sa bpo and im not getting younger (im still 25) kasi since after college sa bpo na ako, so gusto ko naman ma experience ang work sa pang-araw at yung nasa office especially sa admin. dahil sa company ko ngayun dami ko ng alam na hindi ko pinag-aralan (nursing grad ako) pero ngayun di lang hospital stuffs ang alam ko meron na din ako technical background.

sinulat ko to' di dahil sa nagyayabang, kundi to give inspirations to those call center agents na gusto ng mag quit. sa panahon ngayun hirap humanap ng work. so kung na sa call center ka, build more experience and enjoy life. once pagud kana at gusto mo ng ibang klase ng work dun kana mag reflect ko anu ba ang maii-oofer mo sa future employer kung ang experience mo puro lang taking calls. maging proactive ka sa team lead mo na gusto ko mag handle ng mini lead, maging assistant team lead, maging QA. dont settle sa task mo na mag titake lang ng calls.

parang ang haba na nito.

sige guys.

ginagahan kasi ako mag type plus gusto ko ang topic kasi naging buhay ko to 4 years ago.

salamat.

both hands up.....and down to all our fellow bpo employees.

you have shown how resilient and patient a pinoy can be. working overnight being shock absorbers to foreign people. you guys deserved the compensation and if possible much more.

iv tried it but i lasted only the duration of the proby period then resigned. it was hard and i cant seem to adjust - lifestyle, environment, people then it strucked me, im not meant for this i understand the complexity of living a culture beyond an existing culture that is why i have high regards to those people in the bpo industry.

to you, call center people, God bless and may you have an infinite patience and strength.

that data was from the people who tested positive for HIV last year. it shows that a big chunk of those who turned out positive are from the BPO industry.

so i was thinking... baka naman mas marami ang nagpapatest from call centers kaya maraming nagturn out na positive.

if all industries were stricter with their medical exams results for pre-employment, ganoon din kaya lalabas?

Galing. :)
Smart analysis.
Increased detection means increased awareness and incidence. If we had stricter screening for HIV infection, I'm sure we could report higher rates in other industries as well.

The way media presents the facts creates a negative stereotype on callcenter agents, If HIV testing's required to all field/industry then they can make conclusions as to which industry has the highest percentage.

MANILA, Philippines - Though more gay and bisexual call center workers are getting infected with HIV due to unprotected sex, according to a study by the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), health experts say there is inconclusive data to prove that call centers are "breeding grounds" of HIV.

Main reason why we were identified as the top industry with highest HIV cases is because of the medical exams and APE that is required every year for a BPO employee.  Madami din third sex in BPO companies hence the shoot up in HIV cases.

Kasi, most gays na nasa parlor gusto ng mga str8 guys so good luck na lang sa kanila kung meron silang ma-meet na str8 guy sa parlor di ba?

Sa call center kasi, parang accepted ang mga gays (of all colors) because of the atmosphere na tolerance about a person's sexual preference and multi-cultural harmony ek-ek. So madaming gays ang nagwo-work sa call center kasi nga bawal ang discrimination sa call center. So mas malaki ang chance na maka-meet ng ka-relasyon :)

Ako naman, more than 6 years na ako sa call center. Wala pa akong na-meet sa BPO industry na naging BF ko. I don't combine work and relationship kasi :(

eh di itali na yan! GO!
that's why importante ang communication lalo na sa mga gay relationship! Yung friend ko na ganyan, rumenta sya ng bahay na kalapit ng jowa nya tapos tumitira na sila sa iisang bahay at naging 'den' na lang yung bahay na di nagagamit.

dito sa work, pinaka-close ako dun sa baklang katrabaho ko. pero note na mostly, wala naman kaming 'gay' topics.. msaya lang kasi syang kasama..

I think in any relationship naman it's your commitment to make it work despite the challenges. SOme become complacent. Some just got too tired.
