About the Recruitment Process:

The general Questions are:
Tell something about urself.
Take some topic and talk on it - not technical - choose an issue in which u have opinions and feel comfortable talking about.
What do u think and expect from the company.
Why call center?
etc etc
This is a very important round. Only after this does ur technical knowledge count.

3. Technical Round - Basic knowlegde on hardware and networking. Just make them feel that u have around 40% hardware knowledge and u know something about troubleshooting. Tell them all u know about a particular device like a modem or printer.
Make them feel that u have navigated through the system extensively.

4. HR Round - Its testing ur communication skill, ur attitude, ur background etc. Be fluent and cool.

And they would give u the offer letter the same day if selected.

BE CONFIDENT AND REACH THE SUCCESS
ALL THE BEST



There are three rounds of selection procedure.

1. Listening Skills: In this part, a conversation between two
persons will be played in a cassette player and a question paper
containing questions relevant to the conversation will be asked.
Don't worry about it, there will be a pause to answer each
question after each conversation and the conversation is not a
lengthy one. The reason for my failure is that I didn't
concentrate to the conversation when it was played rather I was
the reading the questions. So, I was trying to the answer the
previous question when the next conversation was going on. So if
u are going to attend the test dont do whatever I have stated
above. Jusy listen cooly and answer without frustration.

2.Communication Skills: In this part, u have to meet the HR
person and he will test ur communication skills. For girls, they
usually ask only two question:

i. Tell about yourself

ii. Tell about your family background

In this section, American accent, vocabulary resource, grammar
are considered mainly. So before going there find out some hi-fi
words in dictionary so that u can impress the person.

Guys will be asked few more questions apart from those listed
above in this section:

i. The candidate will be asked to tell something about his pen
and a time of 30 seconds will be given for that.

ii Or the candidate will be asked to sell a pen to the HR person
thinking him as a customer.

3. Technical Skills: In this part, u will be asked questions
regarding operating system(Windows), Hardware( simple questions),
networking, etc.

Questions regarding os will be like:

i How to install a modem and its driver in windows

ii How to connect to the internet

iii How to view device manager, task manager, control panel and
its contents

U would be knowing everything if u were given a system but the
thing is, u have to answer the steps involved in viewing these
windows. For instance, if u were asked how to change screen
saver; u have to answer in the way that it should be understandable
to one who uses a system for the first time i.e. u should say,
goto desktop and right click ur mouse then click on
properties.....(like this). Is it ok, clear!

Few other questions are expansion of USB, LPT, COM,etc; how many
devices can be connected to a USB port in a system and how many
hard disks can be connected to a system,etc.

If u are selected in the 3 rounds, u will be asked to join the
next day and appointment order can be got on the same day itself
i.e if u selected u can come home with ur appointment order in
the evening itself.
