Hello,
I'd strongly advise in favour of working in a call centre. It may not teach you how to solve a structural problem or how to figure out way to optimise search query. There are practically no skills which will be important in any other field of career, apart from a call centre itself.
But still, I strongly suggest anyone, who wants to make something of himself or any entrepreneur to work in a call centre. Not much, just for a month. Preferably, in a night shift.
A call centre won't teach you how to calculate taxes or how to balance your cheque book. It probably won't tell you how to analyse market demand or plan a supply. You will be verbally abused and threatened by callers. You will be ignored and insulted. You will be humiliated beyond what you think you can handle.
But still, a call centre will teach you a lot. For example:
- How to be polite.
- How to keep patience when racial, sexual and all kinds of abuses are being hurled at you, your mother, your sister and anyone you hold dear.
- How to ignore insults.
- How to be focussed on a small, tiny objective.
- How to solve a problem, in the worst environments.
- How to recognise a person's character by first few words.
- How to figure out the source of problem, of someone sitting hundreds of miles away and solve it.
- How to realise that there are some problems which you can't solve.
- How to apologise when you can't help someone.
- How to deal with it, when someone calls you as the last ray of hope, and you watch them fade away in despair.
- You'll see people change their personalities from sweet and mellow to rude and disgustingly abusive in a matter of seconds.
- And vice versa.
Apart from these, there are lot more points, which you'll learn at a call centre. These points may not be helpful for anyone who just wants a job.
However, these points are very important for anyone who wants to become something. Who wants to make a change. Specially with dozens of startups coming up everyday, I'd sure prefer a start up where the founders have been at the receiving end of customer complaint calls or customer sales calls.
