Default Call Centres in Puerto Plata

Hi, Was wondering if anyone had any contacts for job vacancies in the Call Centre in Puerto Plata?

Thanks

Send a PM to Howmar on this board, I am sure he can put you in touch with the right person.

I may be wrong about this, but the call center in Puerto Plata has always had, and always will have, job vacancies.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not putting them down.

I think they have always had some difficulty in filling positions.

They have even tried to get people from Santiago to work there, offering them all sorts of goodies like free transportation to get there.

I'd bet you could probably walk in there today and start tomorrow.

They generally don't pay that much, but if you hustle, you can make some pretty good money. (covered in the forums before)

I agree that most call centers are always hiring.

Especially on the North Coast where they have to compete with the tourist industry for personel. Many feel it's more fun to work in a restaurant with music playing than on the phone in an office setting.

Hi,
I have already pm'd Howmar, and he said they need Bilingual reps. Do you know if this is the case with most call centres?

Do you know the name of any of these call centres?

Default Well not being able to speak Spanish...

...would certainly dissqualify you from working in my call center, there are a few in Santiago I could mention that might hire you but you are going to have to apply in person.

Nobody in their right mind hires through message boards, or email. A personal interview is essential.
