It’s been close to 3 years since I last stepped into a call center as an employee, but I still hear the same stories from past colleagues. Recruitment personnel are pressured to get quality staff while trainers are usually pushed to their limits to make sure newly recruits are ready …

With the BPO industry still thriving within the Philippines, one challenge still exists – teaching and learning the English language. Recruitment sift through thousands of applications daily yet only a few get accepted. Introducing teleTALK, the country’s foremost Computer Based English Training Program.
Here are some upcoming call center webinars this month and the next. Happy learning! How to Handle Non-English Calls and Increasing Efficiency, Social Media – How your Contact Center will be Affected, The Interaction is the Experience and more!

Back in 2007, I featured Hazel Manzano’s Call Work blog at Call Center Script. I like the fact that she depicted the call center life within the Philippines so accurately through comics. I found her on Twitter and reconnected. She informed me that she published her first book containing most of her comic strips and is now available in National Book Store and Powerbooks. I had to get a copy and include it in my bookshelf.
