I am Scheduler/Performance Manager for a 200 person Call Centre - part of a National Call Centre Network with 26 call centres across the country here in Australia.

Our attrition rate is not that high compared to other organisations - we usually get up to 5 years out of our CSOs and most of the ones we lose transfer within the organisation - our CSOs are in demand in other areas of the organisation due to their technical skills and training they receive.

Having said that - I have done a year answering phones and hated it :)

21st Century Insurance, anyone looking for a job? They're hiring and I get a $2,500 referral bonus....

They'll pay for you to study and get your Property and Casualty license.. (insurance license)

That's kinda cool, how long does it take to get a property license?

"Property and Casualty" For us, we had a 1-week class with an instructor and 1 week online, then went and took the test. They will even pay for you to take the test a 2nd time if you fail the 1st.

I worked in a call center for about a month when I moved back here after college. I worked for BMW doing follow-up calls to people that had just had their cars in for service. I think I was there for like 3 weeks before I walked out in the middle of a shift one day, just because I couldn't stand sitting on my ass and talking on the phone anymore.

most of my family in India does.

avi, my roommates family does that too and they live like high rollers. Are yours as well setup answering phones?

Does answering bullshit emails from college profs bitching about their computers not working count?
