If you like talking to people, then a call center job can be fun. If you don't like a highly structured job with set lunch and break times, then don't work in a call center.

I worked for Alltel in GA as a call center rep.  I enjoyed it, but I will say that their corporate policies are a little rough.  Everyone I ever talked to from AR seemed to enjoy their job, never heard many complaints.  I think it will depend on what you will be doing.

not often.\n\nthat's why there's such a high turnover rate amongst call centers. because rejection SUCKS. \n\nif it's a product or service the person is in the market for, you may have some luck. but you'll have more success with a warm market (i got your number from a friend, co-worker... i received your business card from someone...). also, salespeople are more receptive than your average joe to a coldcall. they know that a salespitch isn't meant to offend people.\n\nin that, business owners are usually salespeople of sorts, so they're more receptive to unusual phonecall offers, too.\n\nbest of luck!\ngertie

I'm with you! I work at an inbound call center too and I find myself putting a lot of guests on hold when they are being dumb or aren't ready with anything. I always thought that reality TV would make a season of call centers. Just an idea.\n Its like the ppl that go to a restaurant looking to cause problems and are mean and stuff and then yell about the food being gross. Anyone see the movie "Waiting"? Don't mess with ppl that handle your food or your personal information. \n\nPS Not that I would do anything I'd lose my JOB and have a RECORD but the idea is still there!\n\nROCK ON! I Loved this Question!

Anything customer service related will help you. But realize that alot of call center jobs end up being outsourced so don't plan on working there for the long haul. Get at least 6 months-a year of experience under your belt then try to get a job in the hotel industry.

I worked as a call centre agent for many companies from selling webpages to inbound Fed Ex calls to Land Rover info line to banking and surveys.  I have done inbound (when people call you) and outbound (when you interrupt people's dinner)\n\nExperiences...it depending on where I was.  There was one company that treated us like crap and had no morals.  They did not follow the do no call laws and didnt do anything to people who harassed elderly people and sold to dead ones.  Other ones I worked at were very good, good environment, good pay and lots of support to help you do a good job.  \n\nCall centre work is very stressful.  Either you have sales targets to meet where any number you call is luck of the draw, or you have to do as much customer service as you can while keeping your talk time down.  Working inbound call centres there will always be certain times that the call you are on will have just disconnected when another calls in.  You will go home hearing the "ding" in your ear when a call comes in.\n\nYou have to learn to leave your job at the door when you go home or it will drive you insane.  People think that because you are on a phone, it gives them latitude to scream at you and say things they never would in person.  You didnt know it was their dinner time; it was 8:00 or later...but you get yelled at.  You didnt create the storm that grounded 35 Fed Ex flights in Memphis....but you are responsible.  Its not easy and anyone who says it is easy is lying to you because they have lost their morals at work.\n\nYou can try it, and see how it is.  Some people are okay with it for awhile, but rarely is it a "career" unless you are in management or IT.

There is precious little upward mobility in a call center.  The burnout rate is high, job-satisfaction low.  It pays the bills, but that's about it.

I don't work in a call center & this is not a valid question. You should ask a specific question! This is not a chatroom or discussion board!

Lots of phones have build in caller i.d. now-a-days.  I'd say yes, that most offices have that service.  HOWEVER, lots of chains and other businesses aren't allowed to use it for callback purposes.  Daycares, government offices and womens shelters, for example!

It is okay. Works on both sides of the business. The operators get cheap services by redirecting these calls to these 3rd world countries and the workers get a job and a good pay at it!\n\nSo far I have heard no bitter complaints in the Philippines (yes I am from here!) except the night shift schedules.\n\nI believe in the competence of these call center employees because they would not get hired in the first place if their english grammar, pronunciation or accent is poor and they went through rigid trainings to get in that spot. Besides they are trained to observe strict work and phone ethics so no matter how irate and wild the callers will be, they extend their patience a thousandfold and still accomodate these and remain lowly and humble as would a true blue customer service representative.\n\nSo far so good. This is a good example that all things work together if the 1st world countries tap the resources in the 3rd world countries, form better partnerships with mutual benefits for economic cooperation and unity and drag each other towards progress. =)
