I thought long
and hard about my first post upon completion of "TheSeekersWill", and
it would be best if i start my journey where i was prior to getting the guts
and making decisions from a 15hour cubicle life to a real life. So what will do
is excerpt both my experiences and what MLM is about from the basics up.
Its been almost 8
year that i have worked in the BPO industry starting from the basic entry level
of CSA climbing the ladder to supervisor, quality, training and then finally to
a manager level with even offers to go higher. It was an accomplishment
that i can be proud of being an achiever and dreamer (but sadly it’s
just a title at the end of the day) though my dreams never really
concerned the BPO back then. I am and will always be a flyer by heart, a
licensed pilot and free spirit. Like most colleagues and people who
attempted the BPO, i can say that little percentage actually dream t of
working there in the first place, like most
people, unforeseen circumstances drove us to a decision and the
lure of a higher income rather than the traditional "Day job". Think
of BPO's as being a watering hole where a huge and diverse animals come and
gather for their own reasons (...hmm not really..haha damn animal planet reruns
scrap that )
Don't get me wrong,
it paid higher and i was happy with the experiences that thought me so much.
The work was a good starting ground for most people while building their
career. I remember those days, in Peoplesupport (it was'nt Aegis back then and
from what i heard it was better back then), HR would hire amass of new
graduates from different courses to fill in the seats and demands of the
clients. I always asked this people how they got to know, the BPO and like me
they would all answer the same thing "a friend endorsed me", "a
friend sponsored me in", " i heard..", " a friend shared to
me a good earning potential while", it all sounded the same. Even to the
point were people are now saying "dude, i heard its better in ", "
my friend can sponsor us at ... they pay better". It was learning
experience for me being a "fresh blood" may it be bad or good.
Sorry to stop
short but i just heard my eldest daughter yell “Daddy! Eat pancake!" But
as my last paragraph shows people really thrive in building networks or
relationships. We even use that “networks or relationships" to advertise
and promote even without knowing that we have been doing
it subconsciously all this year. It’s amazing really, looking back
and how things connect haha
So lets connect again later, cheers!
