They often say that being in the call center means having a boring, routine job. It’s true! Sometimes being in the same account for more than 6 months tires a kolboy (call center agent). This is the period wherein you know almost everything about the account and you could support the customer while sleeping! It’s a challenge for kolboys like me to make the most out of our routine job and be in the same account for more than a year. Here are some of the things that we do to break the ice in our everyday call center life.
1. Join the bay decoration contests
2. Join a singing or dancing contests
3. Attend team buildings
4. Join sports events and different hobby clubs
5. Be a part-time photographer
6. Be a blogger
7. Be an Avon or a shoes dealer
8. Be a part-time Real Estates agent
9. Finish your college course
10. Climb the corporate ladder -- be a Subject Matter Expert, TL, Workforce, trainer or Quality Assurance (QA)
11. Join bazaars and apply for credit cards, loans, etc.
12. Buy products during Vendors Events (camera, watches, cameras, etc)
13. Attend account parties and other corporate events
14. Read jokes via emails or shared folders
15. Chat with your seatmate during avail time (idle time)
16. Join DotA sessions after shift
17. Have team lunch in the nearest fast food chain
18. Order pizza and have it delivered at your pantry
19. Have fishball and kikiam for meryenda
20. Drink at the nearest bar after work
21. Collect souvenirs and put it in your ID lace
22. Change your mug once a while
