I am young and I know I fit well in the call centre world but it is so hard to secure a job, these people dont understand that you need them to give you a job inordrer for you to gain experience.I studied the course but that seems not to matter in the call centre industry and the only lucky candidates are affrikaans speakers,they dont need experience,they just need to now the language.
