how do they do the background check
do they ask your neighbors, as what one of my friends tell me, or do they also call your current company, which is not looking good for me.

and yes, what i've learned from this post is to be patient na lang dyud. and if wala, then life moves on...hhaaayyyyzzz...

my friend just got a job offer. the problem is she's a little confused since the offer was not really high.
basic plus allowance, an it's still short from her current salary. she does want to work for lexmark. but she has sisters to support. right now there's a rumor with her currect company that by next year, the pay will be 26K. she's scared that it might happen.

if anybody can give her an advice. what will you give her?
please, please advise.

thank you!

That depends on how far she is looking into her future. Of course, at the beginning the BPOs offer more, now fast forward five years and you probably changed BPOs over and over again and reached a point where you can't increase your salary anymore, after the tiers 1-3 you can go for TL, then for OM and than you are at the end of the road. BPOs don't offer any real growth, and I assume chances are that after you pass a certain level, it will be cheaper for the BPO to replace you with fresh meat instead of increasing your salary.

Then there's the LXK way, of course, entry level is rather meagre compared to what the BPOs promise, but you continuously grow because LXK provides you with Training, Opportunity and most important of all, stability. There's two things now, you are either one of the people who will stay with Lexmark more than five years and most probably gain a comfortable position which will enable you to live a rather comfortable life here in Cebu, or, like the majority, make a name for yourself in three years, earn a glowing recommendation and then go abroad. LXK is a heavyweight in your resume, if you ever plan to go abroad, having LXK in your resume trumps any of these only locally known BPOs.

In a nutshell, LXK offers you a real direction and gives you choices in what you want to do later on while the BPOs offer you more money at the beginning.

Of course this is only my opinion, you might have a different view on BPOs, I just think the BPO industry isn't something anyone would want to do forever.
