“Why are you leaving your current company?”
Anyone who has gone into a job interview certainly has heard of this question. While it may seemingly be very easy to answer, it is actually kind of tricky because you don’t know if you will be honest with your answer or if you will twist the truth just a little bit.
Sometimes if you tend to be too honest you come off as a bitter person maligning his current employer. Even if you have very poor experience working at your current job, it is not a good thing to speak of bad things about your company to that job interviewer who will be assessing you for the position you are applying.
As much as you can, think of the good things that make your stay with your current employer a pleasant one. I’m sure you can think of a good experience or two, it can’t be totally bad. Praise the good that you see in your company and expound on that. When you let your feelings go wildly, imagine the horror stories you might belch out and in turn might backfire on you. Keep your answers clean and safe and just breeze through the interview with a good feeling about your current employer.

I am only a first year student in college and this year I stop because of financial problems. I want to apply in a call center, but would they accept me if i am not yet a college graduate? and I am only 17 years old, my course is Assoc. in Computer Technology.
i would like to apply for a call center agent but i am scared for the said interview..how can i fight this fear.
I try to apply at the call center in quezon city,, it was my first time without the ideas on that field, unfortunately i failed the initial interview, so that’s why i took a call center training first so the next time i will apply im ready.
I already applied call centers before . . but without having the preparation so then I was failed. . . But still I will apply because I already have some ideas on how and why. .
the first time i applied in call center i failed in my application not in the interview., i failed because of the qualifying exam., but now im very confident to try again. and i got a lot of tips in this website ..thanks and more power
