Rain, Rain, Go Away: Preparing Yourself to Apply for a Job On Rainy Seasons and Bad Weather Conditions
A rainy day is bad news for just about anyone who has plans of going out. Students with their shiny new shoes, families doing errands, and the eager applicant who has been waiting to hear two words sweeter than cherry pie, “you’re hired.” In the Philippines, I have lived my entire life with the reality of the rainy season. Whether you’re a fresh graduate full of optimism, or you’re simply just trying out your luck in the corporate world, here are some tips to help you get closer to that call center career and avoid going home with a wet resume in your hand when applying during rainy season.
Call Center Agent On Shift: Handling Irate Customer Calls
We’ve talked about getting a call center career, now it’s time to talk about keeping and succeeding in that job. As a call center agent, you are to expect a volume of calls to come in (or make if you are servicing an outbound account) in just one shift. The reality is that this can be very tiresome and stressful, especially if a call comes from an upset and frustrated customer. Handling difficult customers is a reality of the job. Its our job to handle it with grace and finesse. A call center agent that can take their personal feelings out of the situation and react empathetically, will both perform more effectively and will end the day with less stress.
Overcoming your Weaknesses: Turning Your Weaknesses into your Strengths
Since matriculating more than five years ago, I have experienced a lot of grueling interview procedures as part of the hiring process of companies. In order to secure a job, every job seeker has to go through the task of interviewing. Employers usually have standard questions that test the skill level of an applicant as well as questions which can determine if a job seeker is well-suited for the job. I have found that being prepared for some of the difficult, and often-asked questions makes the entire process a bit easier.
Networking for Job Search: Extending Your Network for Better Job Seeking Opportunity
Job hunting can be an arduous task. With the right tools you can conquer it. One of the best tactics to employe is networking for job search. Remember, employers love to hire referrals. Ask any employer and they will say that referrals are their best resource. Why is that? Its because there is an implication that the person that works for their company already is someone that they'd like to emulate. Networking increased your chances of being that next referral. Networking involves widening your contacts to increase the chances of finding the right job. Extend your contact and connect to the right people and you may you land your dream job bringing your current job search to a successful conclusion.
Honesty in the Workplace
Integrity is on the founding values of TeleTech. A good foundation of a healthy and positive career life is built in honesty and integrity. Mahatma Ghandi said, “Truth never damages a cause that is just.” I agree that honesty begets happiness and contentment that will make your everyday life fun and worthwhile. We can achieve that target if we embrace the idea of living a truthful life at all times. On the other hand, lie begets guilt. Living under the nose of lie is just so hard. You can’t sleep at night or look another person in the eyes. You always have qualms in yourself and that heavy feeling in the conscience. Life couldn’t be normal and you don’t want that in your life. Since our work place automatically becomes our second home and our co-workers become our second family, we need to establish a good relationship with them to be able to work harmoniously with them.
