I don't think being a call center agent have something to do with being talkative. There are some agent that is not talkative.

Well, i'm just wondering. Because when you say call center, i picture it as a very busy office with employees always busy talking to their customers. Talk, talk and talk!

i used to work in a call center. although i have always liked to make people laugh, like to gab a lot, and well, talkative, noisy and bubbly, not all, not even most of my officemates were the same.
it can help, but it sure is not a qualification.

Oh ok. So you mean being talkative is really not a qualification to work in a call canter. Are you saying that it still depends on the person's attitude? May i know what are these qualifications?

Not at all. In most cases, it simply means that someone took a job they needed.
I'm far from bubbly or noisy, although most who know me would call me talkative. I'm a loner, quite withdrawn in most cases, yet I've worked at call centers.
The fact of the matter is that call centers hire with little to no experience, and pay decent salaries. They often hire in mass numbers, so they have plenty of openings. In an economy like we have now, a job is a job and a paycheque is a paycheque.

I don't think so.
You talk to a customer on the phone to sell not to have a conversation.
