being a call center agent

io myself were a call center agent , but you must think first. There is something much more or far more better than just being stuck working and calling and receiving calls . . call centers are just last resorts .. you wont progress you life just being a call center agent. Look for for my discussions about this youll see. . .

i heard that too, my sister is also a call center agent and is complaining that she gets very tired.

Yeah it is...the schedules are just impossible to adapt too plus u get annoying callers from around teh world, then u get them at times simultaneously and also soem callers are just plain dumb to be too acoomodating too.........but when u get the first paycheck, ull jump and spend like ther'es no tommorow

Well you are absolutely right that there are many benefits in call center jobs which executive jobs have. I applied for one job in a call center but wasn't selected. It was not because of my english speaking capabilty. I didn't have any previous experience relevant to customer services. All my experience is of being a network administrator.

Being a call center agent is like a college life. In school, you have teachers, in call center you have trainors. School you are being graded, in a call center you are evaludated base on your score cards. School have field trips, call center do have team buildings. The only difference is, in school you pay for your tuition fee, in call center you are being paid. :)

yeah, i know it's really hard meeting quotas. i've worked as an inbound and outbound call center agent before and now im into teaching. im planning of putting my homebased call center business. im into researching first. anyway, if u dont have quotas (because that gives us the pressure), it is a relaxing job cos u get to work in a perfect environment an all you have to do is to talk. unfortunately, most call centers are into telemarketing.

it is really tuff to work in callcentre......butb what to do a job is the job

yep i agree. but what i enjoyed most is the feeling when you are able to resolve their issues and made them happy. isn't it a nice feeling to know that you have help someone.

i have been hearing about the life in being a call center agent. not to mention the hectic schedules and shifting and the like. but either way, it is a decent job and a source of definite earning for livelihood.

i understand how it feels because i was also able to work in a call center industry before. yes, the work is quite difficult especially if you're in a graveyard shift (lucky me, im always day shift!) :) The compensation and salary is really high, plus the other benefits. Just always take good care of your health and God bless!

correct..... i know that.........
