And working in a call center is as good a source as any. Basta marunong tayo mag-ipon at hindi natin makalimutan na namamasukan lang tayo para mabuhay at makapag-ipon, para pag lumaon, makapagtayo tayo ng sarili nating negosyo na matatawag nating atin. One day at a time, ika nga. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/bpo-industry#post-94 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:24:55 +0000 UP Lakan 94@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>alam kong madaming naidulot na maganda ang call centers lalo na pagdating sa pagresolba ng mataas na unemployment, pero kung titingnan natin, service-oriented pa rin ang dating ng industry na ito. para bang sa pagsisilbi lang sa iba magaling ang pinoy. ang education system natin,sa halip na engganyuhin ang mga batang Pinoy na maging mga entrepreneur ay nakatuon sa mga ganitong klaseng trabaho na nagsisilbi sa mga mayayamang bansa. sana hindi lang itong industriya na to ang bigyang pokus natin </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/bpo-industry#post-85 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 06:28:31 +0000 BurgerPatty 85@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>@christian it is unfair that callcenter agents here are being paid much much much much much much much much less than their counterparts in other countries. but then again, that's also precisely the reason why there are call centers here. otherwise, they'd all just be in the States where unemployment is also not exactly low. and if our rates aren't competitive, the companies will just farm out their call center services to India or China where labor can be had on the cheap. Cheaper even than here.</p> <p>The best that can be done, to my mind, is for call center agents, regardless if they're college graduates to slug it out for a few years, save up, and plan a future to invest in. Either go into further studies while you're employed in the call center (I have a number of friends who became lawyers that way) or think of a sound business plan with relatively low capital requirements. And manage your time and money well. Although you may work odd hours, you won't be working long hours. So instead of blowing all your money enjoying and drinking, try to save some up so you can get out of your dead-end job (no offense to call center agents. I'm actually a fan of the relatively higher entry level pay.) </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/bpo-industry#post-77 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:04:07 +0000 christian 77@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>for college graduates, don't they get short changed if they get employed in call centers, i mean, there are lots of job out there that entail more "mental" capacity. i'm not downplaying the role of the bpo industry. but there seems to be a negative connotation about call centers. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/bpo-industry#post-61 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:25:29 +0000 lonelyboy 61@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>Hi AnnieO. I'm a call center agent.</p> <p>To those who don't know, BPO stands for business process outsourcing which essentially entails the farming out or contracting out of certain parts or phases of a step or steps in a business process.</p> <p>A call center is one example. Usually with call centers, after sales customer support is what's contracted out by the companies. Although there are those that "push" for sales. But BPO's aren't limited to call centers. Virtually any part of the business process can be outsourced.</p> <p>I don't know the specifics of other BPO industries, pero sa call centers:</p> <p><strong>Pro's:</strong> the educational requirement isn't as stringent as other jobs. Pwedeng kahit high school graduate, basta pakiramdam ng HR kayang i-train, malamang sa hindi, tatanggapin. Mataas ang initial salary considering entry level palang. Exciting kasi halos puro "bata" mga kasama mo sa trabaho. And you grow because it involves a lot of interaction with people.</p> <p><strong>Con's: </strong>nakakasawa rin minsan. pero sa taong kumakayod at pamilyado, it's a decent source of steady income. mataas yung initial na sweldo, pero hindi ganun kabilis umangat. relatively flat kasi yung organization. team member to team lead to manager is as far as most people go in 8 to 10 years as far as I know.</p> <p>Apply ka lang para makapagtanong ka rin sa mga kumpanya mismo. Hindi mo naman kailangan kunin yung trabaho pag may offer. <em>(At hindi naman siguradong tatanggapin ka ng lahat. Wag ka lang mawawalan ng loob.)</em> </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/bpo-industry#post-39 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:18:56 +0000 annieo 39@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>What are the benefits of working in the BPO industry? which part of it is most exciting?
