BPO Companies in the Philippines: A Guide for Job Seekers and Career Shifters

Hello Call Center Philippines Peeps! I know if not most, some, are still not familiar with the BPO industry. We can’t say that this is because some are lazy to go to the web and search those names. Most of our member pools are those freshies and newbies searching for a job (roughly 25%) so I can’t blame them. Let me help you guys and also those tenured individuals seeking for a company change, this can also serve as your refresher. I hope after reading this article, you will have a direction when and where to apply. Indicated below are some of the companies and feel free to comment on this page if I missed your company.

Scam Alert: An Update

I am writing this again to update people from Call Center Philippines FB groups of some companies I’ve seen online that are considered and reported scam by people who applied to those before. It is better for us to prevent such companies so that our money, time and energy will not be wasted. It is just alarming that instead of these companies being eradicated since this generation has an easy access to information provided that most of us have an access to the internet. I guess some people are still lazy to check first the history or background of the company before they apply. Again, checking the information of the company does not only save you from the question, “Why did you apply here?”, but it also safeguards you from being a victim of a scam scheme. Some scam companies will get monies from you and even if it is just Php 500.00, still it is your or your parents’ hard earned money so be vigilant. Always ask other people from the group or better yet do some research since I

Berlitz: Another Dreaded Assessment

We all know that applying for a post in the Call Center Industry is not an easy task (well, if you are a part of this industry or you had the chance in applying to one company you will, undeniably, agree). Getting that job is not all about your communication skills. Recruiters nowadays are smart that they ask some questions that are outside of the normal topic areas. Some will ask your stand in politics, some will dwell on your past life experiences and how did you properly manage it, others may ask you about the country's latest stand in the market or economy, your take in our current education system, skepticism, life and also if you believe in life after death. Everything can be asked! When I say everything, it is anything under the sun. They will not definitely care with your current stand, as long as you have that correct sentence construction, voice tone, pronunciation and enunciation, you will be assured that you will pass that Berlitz examination.

They say that most of us have the same routine of consuming our lives, everyday . We wake up, eat, take a bath, go to work or school or search for a job. Our lives then become monotonous - placid, frozen and never changing. We are breathing but slowly loosing our vigor. We then make money as the center of everything so we work hard and as years past when we retire and be old, we then realize that we are not that physically strong anymore to spend the money we saved very hard. We will then hope that we can turn back time but nobody can’t. Did you dare to ask what is the reason of your existence? As a call center employee what things do you do apart from what you are paid for? Do you #LivetoFeel? Do you #LivetoExplore? Do you #LivetoInspire? Do you #LivetoHelp?

Feature: Yulia Rivas' Live To Feel Story

In this industry -BPO. Most of us are very conversational in letting other people know our opinion, our thoughts and even what we want in our life. We are usually interactive and whenever we vocalize what we have in mind, we make sure that the thought is complete and readily understandable by other people. Some people are not that gifted with confidence like we are. Some are very timid in letting other people know their emotions and wants. It is not because they don’t know what to say, maybe because they are not used to it or they are afraid that this can cause misunderstanding or be misinterpreted by other people. This doesn’t mean that they can express what they feel. They, like us, too express their emotions but not in words but in a medium that they are good. It can be by singing, composing, playing an instrument like a piano, violin or guitar, drawing, painting, sports, travelling, writing blogs, poetry, planting a tree, joining a group or a peer and even dancing.

When in doubt, throw it out! SCAM Companies

As requested here are some helpful articles copied from the internet of some companies allegedly scamming those fresh graduates and job seekers. They pretend to be a legitimate company and provides make believe call center job descriptions with "EASY PROCESS" but they are not as sweet as it's cracked up to be so beware! If you received a random text to anyone asking you to go to an office with a company name not so famous or never heard better immediately verify the authenticity of said advertiser through our Customer Service Hotline 914-8000 loc. 804 or through the local offices of DOLE and POEA.  If you are a victim of a scam and you don't have the luxury of time to go to any DOLE or POEA offices you can send your reports or complaints to www.reklamo.ph and be heard by public agencies and the media.
