WHY EVERYONE'S APPLYING AT E-TELECARE

[G-MAN]

MAN, IVE HEARD THAT ETELECARE HAS HAD OVER 20,000 JOB APPLICANTS FOR JUST A FEW OPENINGS EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT IT, ALL MY FRIENDS TALK ABOUT IT YET IVE NEVER MET ANYONE ACTUALLY WORKING FOR THEM. WEIRD MAN

[nix]

Is this some sort of call center type service? Where are they based?

[tbeckford]

My friend got hired by Etelecare but i don't know what she's doing there. She sez it's da bomb though. I heard they've gotta lot of people trying to get in. It's like there's a hundred people applying everyday. It's like a call center or sumthin like dat.

[jeyps11_c]

some said its really great!!!! i have some friends who actually work there...and they say that its really cool!!!...and the chick are hot!!!!

[silver_arrow]

Hey guys! I'm currently working here at Etelecare. tbeckford is right, it's da bomb!The working environment is very positive and supportive. Check us out at www.etelecare.com. (http://www.etelecare.com.)

[eligoy]

i work in the same building where etel is (but for a different company) and from what i've seen and heard, i want to tranfer there. the company is indeed "da bomb!" paging SILVER_ARROW: how do i apply?

[nix]

What makes this company the bomb -- The people? The compensation? The business model? Management?

[yuga]

the pay is quite good! (P13,000++ yata) a friend of mine worked there for a month and in customer service but he went out after they weren't paid after a month's work. sabi ng friend ko, there was something wrong with the administration kaya nagkaganuon.

well, he said the environment was quite good: good-looking guys and gals, nice atmosphere, sweet and gentle people often playing starcraft over the network after office hours or dancing the revolution away (yes! unlimited dance rev daw sa kanila!) i can't hardly believe but the guy was really happy until he wasn't paid his monthly salary.

kaya yun umalis agad. he now works with an insurance company. how bout you guys? you wanna try it there?

[Calypso]

yuga: I think you're referring to a different company that's in the same industry. From what I understand, the company you're referring to (at least, the company your friend worked for) had to freeze hiring because of insufficient funding, or, as you say, administrative problems. I know for a fact that ETelecare is a very stable company and that they pay their employees promptly and in full. Also, the Dance Revolution bit definitely doesn't belong to the ETelecare office environment. Yung kabilang company nga talaga yun--my friend told me that's also what she saw when she visited the office.

G-MAN: Maybe you can start working for the company yourself. ;) Visit their office at the top floor of the Citibank Bldg. in Libis and submit your resume-- whaddyaknow, you might just be the first person you know who works there. ;)

jeyps11_c: Ah talaga? The chicks are hot? Anuyun? Balut? ;) (kwek kwek)

[yuga]

Calypso: sorry 'bout that, napapaghalo ko yung dalawa eh. iba pala yun! my sincerest apologies to all! P_ S_ pala yung other one.

G-MAN..nagtratrabaho ka nah ngayon noh...palagay ko sa SYKES..hehehhe...dba?..aminin!!
Naghahanap din bah ng Web Developer or designer sa Etelecare?..count me in!

[tbeckford]

i called my friend last night and she's still hesistant about sharing info about the company. i wonder why... it's like the CIA or sumthin, top secret stuff. but she did tell me there's still a lot of openings and that they haven't freezed hiring like the other company. i'm gonna check it out one of these days.

[delmair]

Well I work for the other company, the environment is great, we don't actually play Starcraft here but we do have the Dance Rev thing.

I've been here since the company started up and I've never missed my pay before. In addition, I never heard of anyone leaving after a month, there was someone who left after two months to pursue an IT job instead
of customer service. Its true that we did freeze hire because we already have too many people on board. However the freeze hire has already been lifted.

tbeckford: The reason why you're friend might not be talking is because its a company policy. Each CRM provider has their own "gimmick" which makes them unique, but competition are coming out each day, so each company has to keep its proprietary information safe.

[G-MAN]

nah, i dont work for sykes, and i dont know anything about them, i was called up by my friend last night after i posted my topic, he told me to check out the company myself. anyways i think i should get a job there!

[G-MAN]

ok guys, why don't we just check out the website that Silver Arrow posted

I used to to work for Sykes, which is also in the same industry as ETelecare and People Support [ayan, I spit it out na. :D] Are these three companies really competing? I've heard that a number of people have resigned from Sykes to work either for ETelecare or People Support. How true is it that one of these companies has weird working hours? As in early evening until dawn daw!?

[pointman]

input lang! my friend tried applying and said that the process is a ***** but it's well worth the effort. lots of attractive people! mostly fresh grads from la salle, admu, and miriam. pays good too!

[jeyps11_c]

CALYPSO: hehehe!!! very funny!!!! actually they're really hot (unless somebody doesn't get what I mean!!!)!!!! Why don't you try applying...or maybe your the chick????(or should i say chicken!!!) http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

One of my college friends is working there and I've been there!! Ganda ng work place and the people are nice. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/boom.gif

they say its really different from PS and SYKES. Those companies are LAME!!!!!! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/bleh.gif My friend says that they don't match to anything that his company has to offer!

that is why I just submitted my resume!! and that's why i think people from other companies should think twice now!!hmmmmm....... :cool:

[Lara_Croft]

So FEELING niyo i'm stupid?! Well hello, I'm now workin at Procter and Gamble and FYI, the exams here are a lot harder than yer lame company.
Now who's the real LOSER? and i'm earning TWICE as much as you all do. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/grrr.gif

How would your friends know what SYKES and PS offer? They're in eTelecare and obviously they are quite passionate about their company but that is no reason to bash other companies. What does eTelecare offer that PS and SYKES lack?

You were able to conclude that the other companies are LAME based on what your friend said. Well can't I in turn conclude that eTelecare is LAME based on what Lara Croft said?

Well Lara Croft, you say you work in Procter and Gamble. I used to work for the HR department of P&G, meaning I still have a lot of connections there. Why don't you post your real name in this thread so we can see if you can still consider yourself employed by P&G next week.

[PINK PANZER]

Lara honey, with your sore-loser-attitude, I DONT THINK P&G WILL EVER HIRE A PERSON OF YOUR LEVEL AND PAY YOU TWICE AS MUCH AS WE ARE GETTING. BOTTOMLINE IS, YOURE A BIG LIAR!

...tsk tsk tsk, youre so PATHETIC http://www.pinoyexchange.com/grrr.gif

[PINK PANZER]

delmair, i apologize for what jeyps11_c has said, he's not from our company, thats all.

[Lara_Croft]

all i can say is that ETelecare's series of interviews are SHIYET. I tried applyin last summer and from what i experienced, i conclude that it's a company full of looneys and nerdies. Imagine, they asked me how much a 747 boeing weighs? How the hell should I know that?

[eligoy]

lara_croft: i think the question is meant to see how you think and solve problems. i don't think they're actually interested in the actual exact answer. what did you say ba? thanks to you, i can now look up the weight of the 747 so i'll have an answer for that.

btw, can you give some additional tips so i'll know what to do/say when i apply there? you know what they say, "learn from those who fail..."

or is it "...from other's mistakes?" http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[tbeckford]

ey my friend told me about that 747 question and there's sum other stuff too like light bulbs or batteries or sumthin like that.

the 747 weighs 50 tons give or take the number of passengers.

nah, jus kidding, i don't know how much that shiyet weighs and my friend didn't either but she got in anyway. i think it's just a test to see how you can handle wierdass stuff like that.

[PINK PANZER]

LARA CROFT: U BI-YATCH, ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS WHY U DIDNT MAKE IT AT ETELECARE. U SEE THE QUESTION WAS MEANT TO MEASURE YOUR REASONING SKILLS. I WORK FOR ETELECARE AND THEY DIDNT ASK HOW MUCH A 747 WEIGHS, WHAT THEY ASKED WAS "HOW MUCH do you think A 747 WEIGHS AND WHY".
although i must commend you for making it to the third interview. better luck next time though http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[eligoy]

what did you anzer, pink panzer? do you know the actual weight? is your dad a pilot or something?

any help would be very much appreciated. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/wonder.gif

[nix]

From the line of questioning, I would say that the company interviews like a consulting firm.

[PINK PANZER]

eligoy, just think right and act naturally during any of the three interviews. from what i c, u deserve to be there. n'way i didnt really intend to register at PEx, but when i saw LARACROFT's remark that people from Etelecare are loonies and nerdies i really felt insulted and i felt that i had to defend this company i work for which im truly proud to be at.
LARACROFT: SORRY HA :rolleyes:

[Anali]

For trick questions like that 747 one, I don't think it's what you answer, but how you answer. You can say, "it weighs as light as a feather, because in the air everything is weightless" or some absurd answer, but it's the delivery that matters -- calm, composed, confident and pleasant (smiling face). Try not to get taken aback or to get taranta because you don't know the answer, or say "ngek, how am I supposed to know that?" -- siguro they're checking response time and the ability to stay calm, cool & collected. So whatever answer you give, just be confident and believe it's the right one!

[G-MAN]

ok everyone. a 747 weighs at around 250 tons max capacity.
im set for an interview tomorrow so if they ask me that ill tell em that it weighs that much because...blah blah blah.

nway, my original question was "WHY EVERYONE'S APPLYING AT ETELECARE?" and not "HOW MUCH DOES A 747 WEIGH?"

[pointman]

to adjeng: so you work there huh?! do you look like a model? maybe i should ask you for your phone #, maybe we can....

back to the etelecare issue, i believe this is a very cool company maybe all of us should check out the website. thanks for the tip eligoy!

[pointman]

awww... i think you guys ruffled Lara Croft's feathers. peace na kayo...sige na kiss and make up, let's just keep in mind that the original issue is why people keep applying at etelecare!

[CtrlAltDel]

it's just so unfortunate that you find us people working for etelecare losers. it just so happened that we don't hire people that lack creativity and understanding.

but it's really nice that you applied at our company. it just proves that we really choose the best people to work in our company.

look kid, we don't really appreciate this kind of childish boooolsheet here. why ya gotta start **** when ya can't back it up biyeatch. who gives a crap if you're making a shitload of dough over there. we're here coz we're startin sumthin big. and you you're just part of the P&G machine. You ain't never gonna be heard over there. Have you met the president of your company? Do you bump into him while you're havin coffee? Does he even know your name just by looking at your face? Probably not.

You chose to work for P&G and that's cool. If you can't hack it with etelecare, that don't mean you have to rag on them too.

[pointman]

hey dudes, here's a solution mag-EB na lang kayo at magsuntukan! how does that sound?

lalo na kayo, pink panzer at lara_croft sapakan na lang kayo! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[ADJENG]

Tama na 'yan...Why can't we all just get along?!!! Easy lang. We're just havin' fun here. Anyway, I still think ETELECARE is cool. HI to Batches 1-3, and all the TLs and QMs, and to my "Papah."

[ADJENG]

i REALLY think what TBeckford said was right. I mean, I've nuthin against other people's opinions, but somehow, when you begin to sound a bit more SELF-RIGHTEOUS than the average babe, then that's when i figure you gotta keep things on the down low. Basta, ako...m real happy with the dudes and the baby girls in the place, and am cool with the management and I'M PROUD TO HAVE ANSWERED THE FREAKIN' "747" **** . LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???!!! Again, Hi to the baby boys and girls of E-Telecare! Sup y'all?!

[tbeckford]

ms. croft IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HOW MUCH YOU EARN, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU WORK , IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, AND IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH A 747 ACTUALLY WEIGHS! BOTTOMLINE IS, YOU DIDN'Y MAKE IT. SO YOU CAN TAKE YOUR JOB, YOUR PAY AND YOUR BITTERNESS AND STICK IT UP YOUR CANDY @$$!

[KuyaDanny]

KLENG!

End of Round 15.

The winner - wala!

Insulting and name-calling don't belong here. Maybe you should try another forum. It's a little disappointing coming from those of you who aspire to be tomorrow's leaders.

Goodbye, everybody. Mag-SMB na lang muna kayo.
