Q & A: Call Center Agents

I’ve compiled some of the questions that are related to call center agents in this post.  Some are pretty generic and again, you might want to start asking more specific questions and I will answer them.  You can also start answering them yourselves.  I’ve limited each post to three (3) questions, so it’s easier to read and refer to.

anatomy of a call center.jpgQ:  What is a Call Center Agent?

A:  Simply put, they either answer or make calls in either an office or home environment.  Gone are the days when people thought call center agents were just telemarketers.  It definitely expanded and answering emails or transactions also fits the bill.

The picture you see is another person's perspective of what a call center agent is.  Pretty funny and true!

Q:  What kind of attitude should a call center agent have?

A:  This is dependent on what type of work the agent deals with.  In generic terms, you need someone who has high regard for customer service (even for telemarketers), a lot of patience, open minded – both for learning and the ever changing environment of the industry, and should think of out the box.

Q:  Does a call center agent have a bright future?

A:  Definitely a YES here.  With the ever growing demand for personnel, there is a lot of opportunity to climb the corporate ladder. You can handle Operations, Training, Quality, and Workforce. You can move to HR and Finance as well, depending on your interests.  This can also be a stepping stone to another field outside of the industry.

And the list goes on...

masaya sa call center..
as an agent maeenhance yung personality
as a package..
how??
..kasi in a way nakakatulong ka sa hopeless na customer kahit na malayo sila
.. minsan di maiiwasang makakakilala ka ng wonderful persons who would make friends with you(like old woman whos stuck alone sa house., teacher na icocorect ung eanglish mo, etc, at mga custs na super pupurihin ka sa simpleng bagay na naitulong mo)

during application...
-dont mention informations that is already present in your resume
-dont put "resume" at the top part of your resume..(haha.,)
-relax.. think before you speak
-practice tounge twisters..
-answer in short sentences to avoid mistakes
-smile..
-when asked about compensation., give bracket.. dont ask too much., because whatever the compensation youll be asking.. if they will hire you.. its mostly the basic compensation depending on the position theyll give you
-be confident

Can u help me out on the major industries in need of call centers

I am AB philosophy student. So far I still have two subjects to finish this course; I'm planning to take up these subjects this summer... I've just gone out from the seminary... I fell interested to work as a call center agent immediately... I haven't done any trainning on this field, but of course 'm willing to do so.
I believe I am competent enough for this kind of work... May you recommend me where to apply?

Thank you very much!

I worked as a customer service representative for three years in Bahrain...I'd like to apply here in Phils, i wonder if i'll be hired.

I suggest, if you're planning to apply as a call center agent, make sure you have all the knowledge and information about what you are applying for. Insufficient knowledge and lack of confidence would only waste your effort and money. What I did was, I enrolled in a call center training institute and I've learned a lot of things there and now I'm ready to face the BPO world :)

pag mag aaply ka talaga sa call center
they realy need ur full time
and ofcourse knowledge and good communication skills
and if u think u dont have those
better undergo call center trainings that will realy help u enhance your communications skills and confident level

Tumatanggap kya ang call center companies ng high school grad? Ksi gus2 q magtrabaho bilang csr eh, pero meron akong training sa tesda ng english proficiency pati meron din ako nagtraining ng fundamentals of computers, do you think ma acknowledge nila ung mga certificate q or talagang tertiary level lang ang ina-accept nila kahit anong mangyari? Hehe... Tips naman po sa mga ate at kua jan na call center agent na, tnx...:-D

....hi Pls help me about this job?
i want to be a call center someday,but im not surely correct English language...Im so nervious and excited to work,plz guide me all of you!!!...

As a call center agent one of the things that you must need to know is to practice the basic english communication skills...Surely, as you go along practicing the basic language you will be able pass their qualifications.Aside from that, know and understand the questions they'll ask from you.

First time ko to na mag apply pero magrereview muna ko at mag iinquire through internet like ngaun nag ttyping speed ako at nag babrowse ng konte ng makita ko website na toh.. self review nakatulong din siguro to at magbabasa basa ng opinyon ng iba para di kabahan at maraming matutunan.. sana makapasa sa interview at makapasa sa mga requirements nila.. dapat paghandaan talaga.. thanks! God Bless!

I'm computer literate, I'm good in typing.I graduated computer secretarial. I want to be a call center agent,however, my problem is I'm not good in speaking English language.
