Finding the good is an important skill that’s missing from a lot of aspiring Call Center Agents.
In fact, it’s the main reason why I failed my application at Teleperformance.
The American interviewer asked me to describe the Philippines, the first images that came to my mind are: Traffic, Squatters, people who will rob you and don’t go here.
Obviously, I didn’t say that but I couldn’t say anything good in that part of the interview and as a result I failed.
Later that day, I asked one of the vice presidents of an international bank and the coach in the seminar I was attending.
The Philippines is the HUB of Asia.
It’s an emerging economy with a developing market.
It’s a famous travel destination.
The cost of labor and the cost of living is really cheap here compared to many countries.
The people are extremely helpful and friendly.
The Filipinos have a rich culture that is focused on family and cooperation.
They went on and on.
Any of those would have been great answers.
I couldn’t think of anything.
Why is that?
At the time, I saw my Dad as the asshole who abandoned me.
I’m 32 now and I still kind of see my dad as an asshole but I’m also now aware that my dad cares for me and he’s just strict because he came from a hardcore military-like background that’s why it can be difficult for him to communicate to his family and we’re good now.
