lol it's funny all yall are talking about call center jobs - relates to a stereotype americans are fond of

what is the stereotype?

Therre is a british stereotype: All call centres are in bombay. If not there, then new delhi.

Salaam,

I think ur cv should always be subject specific...as someone mentioned before...if you applying for a job working with young people always outline the particular experince you have with young people in your cv rather than rambling on about how you were good at selling windows in a call centre etc.

Like Hayder i also thought i had 100% interview success coz before i graduated every job i applied for (and im not talking call centre although thats the only area i excel in on my cv) i would always get called for an interview and would also always get the job!

Now that i have graduated no-one ones to interview me and those that do interview me dont want to employ me!

The last two interviews i went to i thought i did fairly good as portraying myself suitable for the job but i think i was too honest and didnt big myself up...32 people were interviewed for that position and some of the people i spoke to were so experienced that i knew i wernt gona get the job.........and the second interview i had two of the other candidates were internal candidates....and they already worked with the peeps who carried out the interview so again no chance! I think sometimes the nerves get the better of me

i think it all comes down to get experince....thats the area im most lacking in...apparently call centres dont get u anywhere :shock: .......so i mite just have to go back to a call centre whilst doing some volunteering work

Ah for what i'm doing it doesn't really matter it's more who ya know than what ya know.

Word!

its all about who ya know, not what you know

Ohhhhhh!! i hate call centres in india, i tried calling 3, i cancelled my contract soon as i recieved it (rubbish reception, 18 months long etc etc) and they keep sendin me bills.

I was literally screamin at them but they just go on and on "yes madam we will do that" yes madam i do understand" you idiot u cannot posibly understand!

hahahaha - I have that frustration with Gateway

"Yes sir, what can I doing for you today?"

It's all downhill from there

That is because of time limits.

A person is set a target time that he has to on average close calls in customer service.

I worked in a place where that was 3 mins. people wait about 5 mins to get through, and you had to get them to hang up wthin 3 mins of talking to you. Take about 1 ins for any security checks, and you have to deal with the quesry in 2 mins. Not gonna happen.

Its all a management strategy.
