The Philippines is undoubtedly one of the favorite destinations for BPOs (Business Process Outsourcing).
It is lucrative, especially for the US companies, as 1 Fipino can handle the job of 10 Americans, yet 1 American's pay for the same job, is worth 10 Filipinos. Now there's the profit.
BPO jobs here, started as call centers, receiving or making outbound calls for any business processes, whether sales, consultancy, or technical assistance.
Only recently some call centers have started to cater back office tasks: non voice service: usually clerical or secretarial tasks are delivered by the Filipinos at the speed of light, yet at the price of peanuts.
The secret to the Filipinos' success or efficiency in the BPO industry is our willingness to work like a horse at the cost of our health. So we see that despite the relatively higher pay, call centers or BPOs still suffer from higher turnovers, compared to normal day jobs. Still the usual reason for leaving the BPO job is health. Though some complain of boredom: because you are stuck on a little space in front of the computer servicing invisible customers all with almost the same issue repeated over and over.
Those who leave the BPO job for better health usually find it difficult to cope with a job that only allows you a maximum of 2 days sick leave. The rest of the leaves should be for a planned vacation. So you cannot be sick and leave your station for more than 2 days, since in the BPO industry, every seat counts, and your leave today will cost the company.
What may be a good alternative for Filipinos today is the the emerging new job: the Remote Assistant Job.
