call centre?

who works and/or has worked in a call centre?

call centre was my very 1st job, worked there on a temp basis 4 6 months. 1st month was in training so luved it coz ntn 2 do, hated the rest of the months.....

pays good in a call centre but the work i belive is crap...answering one call after another, dealing wid problems after problems, aaagghh...hated it

theyv been calling me back every year at summer time 2 cum back and wrk, but i kept on rejecting them even when i was unemployed and looking 4 work....i think call centre is the last place id wana wrk again.....but recently i hate my job, so fort i might apply back at the call centre...unfortunately

well, enuf bout me borin job.....

wts ur opinion in regards 2 call centres? have u worked there? do u work there? would u work there? lol

Well ive been working in various call centres! money is v good for those who can speak well..., hand on my heart yes its awesome u get to think on ur feet, tackle many problems coming at you! Its very good!!

I saw the job this way... I just sit on my arse and earn money, rather having to run around like some jobs etc... and there are many types of call centre jobs.. and out of those many call centre jobs i would only do one type! that is Market Research... not selling! I mean everyone does market research it helps people also! & Most importantly less abuse! lol people who sell get a grilling! but market researchers get very little of that!

I've worked in call center's for nearly 3 years now. Kayz is right, money is good but in certain jobs, only if you work for it. No disrespect to Kayz but I'd kind of get bored just doing market research everyday as its not as challenging as other jobs hence the reason as to why I want to leave my job. I'm currently looking for a job as a Recruitment Consultant.. but see what happens in the future..
