Nervous during interview at Call Center

I had worked on a call center for 10 years now. In those 10 years, I have worked in 3 call centers. And in those companies I went to, I have always been nervous especially if there are mocked calls. But somehow, I always get through it. I always pass (probably because they know that I know something in regards with the job that I am applying and feel that I will get past it once I am already taking actual calls). I just try to find something to hold on to like a pencil or bottle of water.

I think if we nervous during is not good because the interviewer notice about and assume that we our confident is not fit with the jobs that we are applying for. But in the Philippines, if your nervous during interview you will pass unless you have friend or someone introduce you to the company... I notice also that interview is not what you know but whom you know...

The first time I was interviewed, I was holding my laugh. I couldn't keep a straight face answering their questions in english without laughing. It really seemed like the whole thing was a big joke, and because of that, I didn't get the job.

The first time I applied in a call center is in People Support. I was passed the exam but in the initial interview I failed because of my wrong pronunciation. So I try to re-apply after few months. I got failed again because I'm not prepared for a behavioral interview. This month I'm planning to apply again so I'm practicing myself to be more confident to answer all the posibble questions.

Not only call centre interview but in any interview we feel nervous. Even the person is intelligent in their study but they feel nervous at the time of interview. I will also face the interview on 27th March in Central School and I am feeling nervous and not understand how can prepared.

To be nervous in any interview is really normal. The first time that I was interviewed when I was really so nervous, I was mumbling and I'm really not prepared because I was not aware on how does it feel to be interviewed. At that time I fail, my interview. One of the most unforgettable moment is when I apply in a call center and I landed that job. It made me happy because I feel that I was incompetent to land for that job.

Personally even though I have worked at a Call Center for the last 6+ yrs. when I have applied for a job thru somewhere else, I am always nervous. Never know what to expect, and not sure how to react which I feel is often only normal. They always tell you to be calm and just answer what they need to know and everything will be OK, but often I think they're always looking for more.

hi, actually after i graduate in college the first company i applied was call center companies,i have tried many times but i didn't hire,because every time they interview me i can not speak English straightly,and started to nervous until my grammar was not really good.

I have been working in the BPO industry for 4 years now and there was never a time during my interview that i din not get nervous. It is just a normal part of it so there's really nothing wrong about it. Almost in all my interviews, I get nervous and I tell my interviewer on how Im feeling. It is helpful when you get to express what you feel and it lessen the anxiety.

When I graduated in college,my target company to apply is call center and my first interview was in a call center agency. During that time, I was not so prepared with it and as expected I did not passed the interview. It was just only in the first step and that was in the exam part. And then as day gone by, I tried another call center and then I failed again. There came to the point that I was so depressed. I could not count anymore how many call center agencies where I applied. Some interviewer said that I have my "p" and "th" problems in pronunciation. I gave up on applying to any call center companies and I ended up hired in a telecommunication company. I am now 3 years in here and I am enjoying my work. God is still good for me.
