Different Types of BPO / Call Center Referral Program

In this modern age, the call center industry has boomed tremendously - cropping up in Metro Manila to Cebu, Baguio and all over the country. This, in turn, creates more jobs, generates more revenue to the surrounding business (food, transportation, goods, clothing stores, bars, shops, etc.) and provided more tax revenue to the government that fueled most of the funding for public entities’ program in constructing roads, schools and hospitals. And because of the booming BPO/RPO/KPO industry - call centers are mushrooming and created a shortage of CSRs and TSRs or shall we say they're having a hard time looking for fit candidates with good communication skills equipped with the basic knowledge of English Language – pronunciation, enunciation, diction and tone.

Improvised Learning Platforms: Convenient ways to graduate/learn while working

Some of us came from a not-so-financially-stable family. This makes it hard for them to finish their undergraduate course or even step into tertiary education.

Featured Company: Convergys – Outthinking, Outdoing!

I am always proud to be an Ex-Con. Ex-Con, not Ex-convict, but it's a slang for past employees of Convergys.  I remembered the day when I was walking along the lengthy Ayala path, going to Greenbelt when a man approached me. It was never my intention to really apply because I came from the province and I am looking forward that after passing the Nursing Licensure Examinations, I will practice my nursing career, and be a staff nurse in a 300+ bed capacity hospital in our province. He was so enticing and he can really speak in English - without any delay and hardship. If not because of my relatives' want for me to take up nursing, I would really love to take Mass communication, broadcasting, journalism, photojournalism or speech pathology as my degree. But then again, I need to really be justifiable and smart with my decisions, I really need to have a degree and having the nursing course will take me there.  Who knows? After a year or two working and going abroad and ea
