Hi there, before you decide to try the call center industry, you have to ask yourself first if this is something you REALLY want to do and not something you HAVE to do. Next thing to consider, are you willing to work on different shifts? Morning, mid and night shifts. Plus think about the over time and irregular hours. Lastly, do you have the patience in dealing with customers? These are the things that you should ask yourself first. If you think you can make it, then you should give it a shot. I've been training in a call center for three years now and it's something that I love doing. Hopefully, whatever job you land will also be something that you love to do. =) Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. I really believe from the start that call center is not just a easy job but it can help me increase my confidence especially in getting along with different people. I can say that i can write english and also understand as well, but im a bit shy in speaking. So, i wanna improve it also when i join the call center industry.. i love your comments. tnx.. hope i can find a suited call center company for me...

If you are willing to work shifting schedules every month, and you are able to handle extreme mental and emotional pressures then I suggest you go for it. Call center jobs offer a high salary compensation due to it's rigorous nature.

If it's the pay-off you're after, better try the call center carrer. But remember that the first days of work are gonna be tough, so to speak. Good Luck!

Call center jobs really pays a lot compared to others out there. But just don't make a mistake applying at any ePLDT centers. I work there. We have referral bonuses but I don't refer anyone. Odd but true. I'm shipping out. I hope you find a good one. Goodluck
