What a contact centre agent actually does

SetaJobs’ guide to call and contact centre posts in South Africa, written for someone applying for their first one.

Voice, language and composure are screened directly: most employers run a telephone or recorded assessment before an interview. Expect to be assessed on listening, spelling and typing while talking, a criminal and sometimes a credit check for financial services accounts, and questions designed to hear how you handle a difficult caller. Additional South African languages are a real advantage and should be stated.

What this kind of post involves

A permanent post is ongoing employment with no end date, carrying full benefits and, in the public service, a defined salary level with annual notch progression. These are advertised competitively and the selection process is considerably more formal than for programme placements.

Watch out for this

The screening is mechanical and happens before anyone reads your CV: the advert’s own application instructions are applied as written, and an incomplete or unsigned form is discarded whatever the rest of the application says.
