Hello yogeshdhusa, Your profession pay higher than working in a call center, I have many accountant friends who find their job online and enjoying life and can afford to travel twice a year anywhere, Why not trying your luck on the net? but, working in call center would be great too but I am just thinking about your profession!

By all means go for it. It's a very fast-paced environment and may get tiresome after a while but the pay is good and you have your officemates to stay with you when you get lonely. Been there for 4 years and I'll continue on. I agree. You need to be tough on the phones. Don't worry and try it on for size. you can do it.

I used to work in a call center, I loved it and the money was fantastic. It's not for everyone, though. It can be very frustrating dealing with people on the phone, but if you're tough, you can do it! I think anybody can succeed in a call center with the right attitude. Go for it, the money is great and it can't hurt to try, right? Good luck!

Hey yogeshdhusa, Even i was in accounting field, then joined call center and i would say go for call center job. U will find that call center jobs pay u well, u get a drop or pick-up, some offer both, u get very good pay,the work experience is on an international level, the cafeteria, the environment, and they have lot out fun going on as well such as RNR, and other fun programmes in a big way and a happening place. I can tell u confidentally u will love working in call center. But see that u dont waste too much on leisure or else u will find it only a pain and no gains.

It's up to you and depend on what course you've been finished for. If your finished being a teacher just pursue your career in that particular course you finished. But if you prefer to be a call center agent it's not bad unless you get the jobs...

You may try backoffice work for a BPO, I think it is fastly becoming popular as other financial work are now outsourced and accountants are very much in demand for this kind of work.

call center jobs are fun jobs. if you want to apply your skills, there are a lot of opportunities for you to apply that in call centers. there are accounts that will require accounting knowledge like banking and finance outsource sector. in case you feel like moving into a different department, the accounting the department is a spot that you may target. it is worth the try.

You might want to look for a call center position which involves doing accounting for offshore clients? That way, you would still be able to make use of your field of expertise. I really does suck that jobs don't pay a lot anymore nowadays. But if you really need the money then do try your luck with the call center industry but I heard that you get burned out easily..

Hi. If you have excellent communication skills and you are amenable to shifting schedules, then go for it :) It pays better than other jobs and not tedious as well. Just be ready to handle the pressure of meeting your quota if you would be assigned to a sales account.
