The Finger Test
Let the fingers type your way to get that call center agent post

You prepared much for the interview, reviewed tips on salary negotiation and anticipated that a job will be offered soon. Seems like a perfect scenario right?

Until…

There was a change in the application process. And you were asked to take a test that you never prepared for. Now, you are not that sure if you can still ace that application because you cannot get those fingers working to type a word.

I hope this won’t happen to you. Working in a call center as an agent entails you to brush up on your typing skills because most of the accounts ask for call documentation.
