Infographic: Anatomy of a Great Call Center Employee
Most of the time, we all wonder the same thing when we want to apply for a job, "Am I qualified for it?"
Common Resume Mistakes
Writing a resume is never easy and I consider it as one of the most crucial steps in job hunting. In my previous blog post a few months ago, “Job Hunt Tip # 2: Have a Competent Resume,” I listed the essential elements that should be included in your resume. And in this post, I will dig deeper and focus on the common mistakes that people commit during resume writing.
What Motivates You at Work?
For the past few days, I have read a lot of articles saying that money is not the most important thing in this world. We need money to buy things that can help us survive each day but it is incomparable with what some intangible things can bring to the table. Love, belongingness, and appreciation are only a few things that people also desire which for me personally are just as important as money is.
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.
Job Search 101: Finding a Job Near You!
You have prepared a winning resume, pep-talked yourself to boost confidence, and you're ready to become an employee. Now comes the job search. The most common way for people start their search is by scanning the job boards or newspaper classifieds. It is quite easy to look for one, if you know what to look for. We all have an idea of our idea job in mind, like a call center job, but the job searchdoes not end there. When I go through job ads, I usually have top three things to consider: the location, the compensation and benefits, and the company and its culture. Not all companies advertise their compensation package and culture, but it is nice to know I have the privilege of starting my search with what's closest to my home.

Tips on Staying Healthy This Holiday Season
The long awaited holiday season is upon us and I know for sure a lot of people are excited to spend their time with family and friends. During the holidays, there are festivities and events, delicious food and drink, and all types of fun and merriment. Unfortunately, all of this extra excitement and extra calories causes many to gain weight.
Job Hunt Tip # 2: Have a Competent Resume
This is part two of the job hunt tip series and this time, I am going to tackle another portion of the preparation process for job hunting. Just to refresh your memories, the first one tackles about doing research for applicants to have an overview about the jobs available for job seekers (Here is the link for your reference Job Hunt Tip # 1: Research!).
Stretching Exercises for the Call Center Employee
Apart from the stress and pressure we all get in our daily tasks, we all have to deal with muscle strain from having to sit for too long. At the end of the day, we can't help but complain why certain parts of our bodies ache even if we've just been sitting on our desks while working. Certain muscles that are idle and bad posture are the culprits most of the time. To avoid further damage in the long run (carpal tunnel syndrome, anyone?), here are some exercises that I do to help you keep yourself "fit" while in your office desk. I even gave some of them silly names for easier recall.
