Fall Centres, Oh! Call Centres

By Tungnung, Zamlunmang Zou


The recent examinations conduct by the Delhi Times shows that, Call Centres is no longer an alternative place to work in. The attraction has seemingly boomeranged into repulsion for Gen. X. Today the dropout rate among the 20-30-age group at Call Centres is as high as the industry’s growth and the profile of the pros working there is in a state of transition.

Call Centres, inspite of it many disadvantages, has been the fastest growing sector in the Indian IT industry-both in terms of the number of people being hired and revenues generated-is the IT enabled services segment comprising Call Centres and Business Process Outsourcing (ITES-BPO) sector. This sector added 70,000 jobs in the last financial year, according to NASSCOM, the apex industry body of software and service companies in India. NASSCOM also estimates that by 2008, these will be 2,70,000 jobs in the customer interaction service sectors.

IT-enabled services are support functions and services for customers provided either through the telephone and web based channels. Where as, BPOs are companies, which provide similar functions and services but not from the country where the products have been sold. So, what is Call Centre job all about and why is it becoming a dream job for thousands of young people, many of whom are not even completing their graduation.

There are various types of Call Centres. Any company can set up its own Call Centre to deal with its own customer’s (i.e. a captive call centre) or they can hire a professional firm (i.e. a their-party call centre) to do the job for them. Function-wise too, they are divided into inbound and outbound Call Centres. Outbound Call Centres are places where operators-or Customer Service Associates, as they are called-make calls to the existing or prospective customers. Where as, at inbound Call Centres, the process is reversed and the Customer Service associates takes or received calls from the existing or prospective customers.

Call Centres can also be classified into Domestic and International. In the former, you work for an Indian based companies and deals with its Indian customers alone. The later deals with foreign customers of foreign companies, where you have to pretend yourself a foreigner besides flawless spoken English.

The selection process for the job of Call Centre Associate is not an easy task. Since the bulk of growth is happening in the BPO category, fluency in English is an absolute must. Your spoken English has to be flawless; its not just a matter of grammar, the way you talk must be void of any regional accent or MTI-Mother Tongue Influence. To be an associate, one has to acquire standard XII as a minimum qualification, but graduate is preferred. BCA, B.Sc. (Computer Sc.) can also apply for technical support jobs. Some firms take BE or Btech graduates too.

Most Call Centres offered 24/7 (24 hours a day and 7 days a week) support function round the clock. Willingness to work night shift is a must. In metros, the salary for fresher is anywhere between Rs. 8000 – Rs. 10,000 per month as advertised in the daily esteems, but the said amount is hardly paid to any newly recruited person instead, less amount is being paid to them. People in marketing get sales-based incentives. With 6 months experience, you can get another job and a hike of Rs. 1000 to Rs. 3000. Interestingly moving up the ladder, with 2 years experience, you can become Team Leader, Voice Coach or Quality Analyst, etc. with a salary of above Rs. 15,000 per month. Managerial positions are also available after a few more years of experience.

Provided you satisfied the above criteria, you will be call for an interview. Not only that, there are several elimination rounds you have to undergo. Firstly, you will face the preliminary round of interview. The next step is to answer the written test. This could be anything-from simple English Test with Analytical/Logical Reasoning thrown in or a complex Technical Aptitude test or both. Some Firms also administer psychometric tests. The next steps includes a Group Discussion, where the applicants are judged for their ability to talk clearly and with poise and a Listening Comprehensive test, to judge listening skills. If you go through all these, you will have at least two round of personal interviews. Once you are hire, you will receive training before going to "LIVE". This process of selection is not always the same in every Call Centre; however, these are the common norms being followed.

The industry is growing at a lightning speed, but the call of Call Centres does not sound as sweet to Gen. X. What’s wrong, Why and How? Who’s Mr. Call Centre’s Associate? It’s simple, he is an employee working under strict rules but sleeping whole daylong. He is the one who does not have time to see the beautiful daylight. No time to breathe fresh air and no time to interact with people and love ones. He has no future in education life and no time to glare at the books but time to close his eyes. Oh! What a boring and irritating life!

According to psychiatrist Samir Parekh. "Those who work in the graveyard shift suffer from the Shift Mal-adaptation Syndrome. With the rest and activity cycles reversed, the biological clock is confused, such people are prone to physical illness and suffer from depressive and anxiety symptoms. They are also prone to substance abuse. Most importantly, their social life gets disturb. Which is why Call Centres tap people whose needs are higher, like those of from small towns and elderly people".

As with every industry, there are downsides to working in Call Centres, some people face health problems because of the cycled routine of day and night shifts. Others face psychological problems because they are pretending to be someone else. The most complaint put up as per the survey is the effect on family and social life since the Call Centre employee is working while the world they live in is fast asleep and they are sleeping while people are busy socializing.

These problems, however, does not seems to be deterring the increasing number of young people making a beeline for the interview. It is mainly due to poor financial conditions being face by most young and old people. Not only that, Call Centre gives a handsome amount of salary to its employee and that can make people forget the pains.

MENDING OUR PUNCTUALITY IS A VIRTUE

By Tungnung, Zamlunmang Zou

It’s something that our parents taught us against; the teacher at school was extremely critical about and something that instances indiscipline. Yes, getting late! Not being punctual is something that all of us experience at some point in time. It grows into a problem only when it becomes a recurring phenomenon. Nevertheless, the paradigms have shifted of late. In most places, unlike in the olden days, we are not monitored for the work scheduled we keep; the quality and the end result achieved are important. What we are, however, evaluated on is being on time for meetings and other important occasions.

Every time we are late, we made an impression of being careless, not being sensitive to other people’s time and worst of all not respecting others. This impression, if strengthened over a period of time, can be more damaging to our career then anything else. The other factor is that when we are late, we try to either conjure up the most absurd of excuses or make ourselves invisible-hardly the ideal thing to do. The more invisible you try to be, the more conspicuous your delay becomes; and the more excuses you make, the chances of your getting trap grow more.

Being late to work/meeting is a serious problem, especially if it happens more than a couple of time. Tardiness is not a trait tolerated for too long, and it will certainly come up during your performance review. The first most obvious sign of professional in punctuality. And, if you were otherwise, you’d better learnt to be, at a quickest possible time. It sounds simple but developing a good habit in the hardest things to do. Psychologists have proffered a reward-penalty solution for the problem. Every time you reached your engagement spot on time, congratulate and reward yourself after the event. A reprimand should be penalty enough for reaching late. This process of conditioning when followed over a period of time will eventually infused punctuality. Try out some simple tricks like aiming to reach five to ten minutes earlier, especially in important occasion and at your working place. Have the courtesy to call in advance and inform about thew delay: This will save you the embarrassment in front of your colleagues, it also shows that you have respect for the time commitments of the others in the group who are being held up because of your indiscipline.

Punctuality is a virtue that is stressed to redundancy during our school days. While impost in childhood, it is only when we entered serious work environment that we realized it is an important component of success and reputation wherever we go, it is never too late to make punctuality a good habit.

What if you ‘died’ tonight

Have you ever thought about it? what would happen to you? where would you go? Where would you spend eternity? some would say we can't know for sure others say they "hope" they will go to Heaven but the Good News is WE CAN KNOW! That's right ... we CAN know, I KNOW and I want to share with you how you too can KNOW Do we have to go to a certain church? NO Do we have to be baptized? NO Do we have to follow a certain set of rules? NO What if I am a "good person" ... will that do it? NO All these things are nice, they are good things, but they won't get us into Heaven! Let's look at what God says .... after all, it's His Heaven and He should be able to tell us how to get there, wouldn't you agree?

God tells us in His Word, the Bible, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) How many have sinned? ALL have sinned, that includes you! That means you have to realize and admit you are a sinner. There is a penalty that must be paid for sin. "For the wages of sin is death"(Romans 6:23)

This death is called the second death and Revelation 21:8 tells us what it is and who will go. "The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death" The second death is eternal separation from God in a literal HELL! We read the word murderers, and also liars. A person only has to murder once to be a murderer, as well as a liar only must lie once to be a liar. The above verse says ALL LIARS, that just above covers everyone. So is there any hope for Heaven?

The answer is YES!!! This is the Good News! "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) Jesus was the pure sacrifice who shed His blood to pay the sacrifice, before a holy God, for your sin and mine. He says ... "I am the way, the truth and the lifeno man cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14:6)

God wants to give you the gift of Eternal Life in Heaven. There is nothing you can do to earn it, you don't deserve it, but IT IS YOURS! All you have to do is accept it. "But the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Christ Jesus the Lord" (Romans 6:23)

Why would God do that? Again, we find our answer in the Bible. John 3:16-18 16."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18. He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Accept God's FREE GIFT of salvation, believe that Jesus is Lord and ask Him to save you from sin and give you Eternal Life. Romans 10:9-10, 13 9 "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Remember I said, you CAN know for sure, that is because God says ... "These things have I written unto youthat believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life." (1 John 5:13)

Call upon the Lord Jesus now in prayer. Tell Him that you believe that He is the Son of God and you believe that He died and rose from the dead for you, and that right now you want to receive Him into your life as your personal savior.

Na nasepna tawp sawm; Zothai enkhalou?

By- Luther T. Zoulunmang

“Lunneu, mi’n a’ng musit ua, a’ng ningbawl chieng un zong lungthah peilou, kamdam zang phot, thuophot ham ham. Tuachia a’ng kiphatsah teitei ulepen, phak-phak-phak chie ziel chai suh ding himei, nathei ei?”.

Nasty Boss: It is the foremost reason for people to quite their jobs. It is perfectly understandable if you have an abusive or mean boss. But, it’s equally demanding to work for a boss who does not involve you in the company’s plans, assignments and who neither appreciates the staff’s efforts not nurtures individual talents.

You need to talk to your manager about these issues. A good manager will sort out the problem, and see that you fit in elsewhere. But, if you are so disgusted with the boss that you are determined to leave, still see the HR person before you actually leave, he may have a remedy.

Stuck in a groove: If you feel the job has become monotonous and there are no chances of promotion or even bringing any imagination to the job, you might consider looking for a place in another department of your organization.

Hard work has no recognition: Despite of all the hard work you put in, you don’t think your boss recognizes your efforts. To improve the situation, tell your boss you would like his feedback on your work regularly so you can improve and impress him.Overwork and exhaustion: It is true, cost cutting is forcing organizations to reduce the number of employees, resulting in one person doing the job of many. As a result, you feel exhausted and drained. If this is the scenario, quality of work suffers, and the drained. If this is the scenario, quality of work suffers, and the organization gets a bad name, particularly if it is into customer service.

Wrong career choice: If you have chosen the wrong career, regret seeps in when you go in to the work. You hate the job, the kind of people you work with and the activities you are involved in. If you don’t like the profession you’ve got into, the easiest solution is to quit. But it could also be that you like the job but not the ambience. If that’s your problem, change the environment, not the profession. But if you are sure you need a career change, try doing the following;

Take time to find out where your interest is,(i.e. meet people who are in your field of interest), find out how to get into the field, read the latest in the profession, make a realistic timeline and then act on it, at last you’ll find Lunneu’s Pupu Buddha head beneath water.

Right job, Wrong boss: The job is right, feels right and you are enthusing by it. But, the boss is a misfit. You can help yourself by finding out just what bothers you about this job. Is it controllable? Can the problem be fixed? Think of easy options in the organization before taking the final decision of leaving it.

More over not out: Relocate to a different department instead of leaving the organization. You only need a different manager not a different work address. The least amount of changes in your life and you will see the deference very soon.

THE SCATTERED ZOS IN THE WORLD

By Tungnung Zamlunmang Zou The so called Zo ethnic group nicknamed by other vested interest who by virtue of military power named them in different nomenclatures such as Kuki, Chin and Lushai (Mizo, Zou, Lakhel) who occupied vast areas – say Chindwin River in the east, Haflong in the north, Akyab in the south and Brahmaputra in the west. The Zos for lack of political consciousness could not raise their heads under the sword of divide and rule policy adopted by the British Imperialism.Since time immemorial the so-called Zos also had their suzerainty in Chin Hills under Pu Hauchinkhup, in the present Mizoram (Lushai Hills) under Sailo Chiefs, in Manipur Hills the Guite, the Manlun, the Thadou chiefs occupied the hill portion of the present Manipur State. This goes on until the advent of the British Imperialism. The British expedition completed in 1890 and started dividing the Zo territory into a number of sectors to suit their administrative jurisdictions. The root word Zo From the mouthpiece of our grand parents, it is learnt that the people of Zo hailed from the first three Zo brother Songthu alias Chongthu, Songza and Zahong who first dwelt in a cave known by the people as Khul or Chhinlung or Sinlung or Khur somewhere in China but the exact location is not yet traceable by an scholars in the world. One Burmese diplomat Dr. Vumkhohau says that Zo comes from the word Zo and thus all races, clans of this particular group of Tibeto-Burman directly descended from our ancestor Zo. The same opinion was held by Pu Khupzathang (Capt), a Zo genealogist who writes a book ‘Zo Khang Suutna Liabu’.According to a Burmese scholar Thantun, Tibeto-Burmans probably once inhabited the T’ao valley of Kansu province, once the North West of China. Because of many disturbances made by the Chinese, the Zos might have moved to the north east of Tibet. The Chin under Chinese in 200 BC made further depredations and in order to avoid them, the Zos traveled across ridges and forests and move further south. The journey probably took hundreds of years and eventually they come to the border of Tibet and Burma.The term Zo is an ancient and historical name of the Zo ethnic groups. Before the Zo society evolved into clans-base organization and segmentation, historical records referred them as Yaw, Jo, Chou, and Zhou. The Shan Dynasty’s Chronicles proves this. The Pong (Shan/Tai) kings annals from 80 AD—1604 Ad clearly mentioned the Zo district and the Zos respectively.In the year 862 AD, a Chinese historian, Fan Ch’o Hao in his book already used the word Zo to call a peculiar ethnic group of people. Another scholar, a Catholic Father Vincent, in his book published in 1783 used the word Zo to mention a group of people who have the same practice of livings. Sir Henry Yulu’s narrative of the Mission to the court of Ava in 1885 showed the Chindwin plains and west of the Chindwin River as Zo district. FK Lehman, a renowned Social Anthropologist in this book ‘Structure of the Chin Society’ reiterated the fact that the so called Kuki-Chin linguistic groups has a special term for themselves which appeared as Zo, Yo etc.Dr. Vumkhohau, a Zo scholar and diplomat from Burma, in his profile of the ‘Burmese Frontier Man’ has affirmed that we called ourselves Zo from time immemorial. There are different theories regarding the etymology of the root word Zo.The Zos known by other as Kuki in Manipur, Nagaland and Assam; Chin in Burma and Lushai in Mizoram, Tripura and other Zo occupied areas. Nevertheless, they are the same people descended by Zo. No writers or scholars could make any distinctive classification of division of these people based on custom culture, usages and the way of living. S Carey and Tuck says that there can be no doubt that the Chins and the Kukis, are one and the same race, for their appearance, manners, customs and languages all this conclusion (The Chin Hills, p-155). Further, we can prove the ethnical oneness of the scattered Zos by the same tongues they use, God-Pasian, sky-van, fire-mei, father-pa, mother-nu, grandfather-pu, grandmother-pi, water-tui, king-leengpa etc. A legend records that, like the other nations, Zo too have their own lands and scripts in olden days, which is very much similar to that of eastern nations like Burmese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. But it is very said to mention that it (the script) was stolen by a dog as it was written on scrolling dry leather.Hence, the genesis of Zo comes from the word Zo and no men born on earth could question as yet. The words Kuki, Chin and Lushai as we mentioned in the above have neither any bearing on the culture of these peoples nor have any historical originality except these people have ethnical oneness and lived like one people as that of old Anglicans. But with the passages of time, these people lost their identity of nationhood as divisive forces acted upon them terribly say the Shan, the Burmese, the Chinese, and at last the British Imperialism who subjugated them in the last part of the 19th century. The Rise & Fall of Zos Metternich says that ‘The man who made history have no time to write it’. Very indeed, the Zo leaders who made the Zo history are not known till date but we inherit the fruits of their past actions, good or bad.Though no one can exactly traced the whereabouts of its (Zo) existence, it is believe and accepted that these people did lived, raised and fall like other nations. Most of the Zo thinkers and researchers opined the rise and fall of the Zos in this way: They (Zos) belong to Tibeto-Burman which is of Mongolian stock. The common belief is that Zo first lived in China, before the birth of Christ, probably during the Chou (Zhou) dynasty. In due course of time, these people were harassed by the Chinese kings and ultimately they had to quite China, then moved towards the South west and settled in upper Burma known as Yaw Valley, along the Chindwin River. They reached Yaw valley-upper Chindwin extending up to Kabaw valley sometime in the eight century AD. During their occupation of this Yaw valley, they knew how to cultivate the modern practice of wet-rice field. When they approached from south west of China up to Kabaw valley, they faced no warlords, except some skirmishes with the expeditions of the Shan States, who then begin their infiltration in the upper Burma towards the end of the 13th century. In due course of time, they extended their home rule upto Khampat, and thereby started to have their kingdom without any threat from any quarters. They lived happily and joyfully for about a couple of centuries, i.e. from the 13th to the 15th century. At the beginning of the 15th century AD, they confronted a threat from the Shans who aimed at expanding their suzerainty. The Zos were the second people to face the onslaught of the Thai imperialist who moved upward with their mighty Tai (Thai) force marauding the Burmese and Zos on their way to Assam. This was the first heyday of the Zos so far as we traced the old records of the Zo history.Then, they moved about further south upto the present Chin Hills and started settling in the hill regions, which was then No Man’s Land. After leaving Khampat kingdom, it appears that there was none to trumpet their conscience. From there they scattered all along the hill ranges in different directions, divided into clan-based leadership, which is rampant. Some Zos settled in the Chin Hills and made Tonjang as their head quarter under the leadership of Pu Khanthuam. Some of them moved further southwest called Lushai hills.ZolandLocation: The area occupied by the Zo country, as per the memorandum of ZORO submitted to the Secretary General of the United Nations Organization (UNO) on May 20, 1995 the area confines between 92’ and 95' E longitude and 20' and 25' N latitude. The whole area is roughly about 1, 45,600 sq kms.Area: Specifically the Zoland cover the Lushai hills (now Mizoram, India), the Chin Hills in Burma, the hills of South and west of Manipur, Jampui and Sakham ranges in Tripura, India. Hill tracts of Chittagong in Bangladesh, Arakan, Upper and Lower Chindwin River including Saigang division and Kale-Kabaw valley in Burma.Population: The estimated population of Zos as per the 1991 census was about 50, 00,000. It is clear that after a decade it must have increased to many folds. Who knows may be more than a 100 lakhs.Some Major tribes of Zo: As per the memorandum submitted to the British Government on April 22, 1947 by the Mizo Union, it included 47 major tribes namely; Aimol, Anal, Bawng, Baite, Bawngzo, Chiru, Chawhte, Chawrai, Chongthu, Chawngthu, Darlawng, Dawn, Fanai, Hmar, Hrangkhawl, Hnamte, Kaihpen, Khumi, Khiang, Khiangte, Khawlhring, Kawm, Lushei, Lakher, Langrawng, Mualthuam, Miria, Ngente, Paite, Pawi, Purum, Pangkhua, Pangte, Paute, Pawite, Ralte, Renthlei, Thadou, Tarau, Tikhup, Tlanglau, Tlau, Vangchhia, Vaiphei, Zou, Zawngte, Gangte.

Are you a prairie chicken or an eagle?

A brave hunter while hunting in the forest, he found an egg that has been laid in the forest by an eagle. Not being able to return an egg to an eagle’s nest which is high above, the next best thing he can do was bring home and put it in the nest of the prairie chicken. The result is predictable. Not noticing anything very different just because of one additional egg, the hen sat on this eagle’s egg, which is among the chicken eggs. By and by, the little eaglet was hatched alongside the prairie chickens. All its life, the young eagle, thinking he was a prairie chicken, did what the prairie chickens did, eat what they eat and walk like one of them. He scratched in the dirt for seeds and insects to eat. He clucked and cackled. Flew like the chicken, unaware of his ability to do so.

Years passed, and the young eagle grew to be a very old bird. One day, he saw a magnificent shape far above him on the cloudless sky. Hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful wind current, it soared with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings. Unaware of his identity and abilities, “what a beautiful bird!” said the (prairie chicken) eagle to a neighboring prairie. “What is it?” and the neighboring chicken replied, saying, “That’s the eagle – the chief of the birds, but don’t give it a second thought, you could never be like him.” So, the misplaced eagle never gave it another thought. And it died thinking, he is prairie chicken. 

Opps! How sad! Had he been taught that he was an eagle, he would have been flying in the sky like his fellow eagles. Have you ever think/heard of this short story. It’s a very challenging. You and me, like the misplaced eagle have the ability to fly high, but unaware of our ability makes us lived like the eaglet chicken. Now, we should not forget that we are made to be an eagle that is to fly with different colours.
