There ang a lot of call center companies in the Philippines and I understand howtempting.it is to,sdrid
resumes to every call center companies that they see. Observe how applicants go crazy over submitting
their resumds in job fairs, only to be clue,less about those companies when called for an interview.
CalI center gal tip: Do y611 homework. Make a list of the companies you rvant to apply for a call center
post. Use the internet to gather information. Most t#Br- center companies have a website to
"all
provide you information that )/ou can mention in theffiinteniew. It's better to tell that you got those
information using credible sources instead. I am not sa).lng that you can't rely on what your friends tell
you. Call center employers rvill appreciate it better if you checked on the resources that they made
available like cornpany w'ebsites and urarketing collaterals.
4. What is your philosophytowards work?
CaIl center applicant: "Time is gold."
