Can I still be hired?

[Inta]

---

ask lang ko im already 48 years old. undergraduate 1 semester na lang unta sa BSECE jobless family man. Pwede pa kaha ko makatrabaho balik? gusto unta ko sa call center kay morag wala samok sa pag apply as a technical support personnel. I have a long experience in troubleshooting computers whether hardware or software. I started servicing computers since the IBM PC era (8088 pa). Can somebody give me unsolicited advice?

IMHO yes. If you're planning to work in a call center, you can still be hired. Competition may be tough but the industry won't close its doors on capable applicants based on age alone.

It's important that you have a fallback plan in case your applications are unsuccessful. Since you're quite experienced with computer repairs, why don't you advertise your services and get your customers from this forum? Istorya is a great place to meet contacts and do business.

The Messenger is correct indeed! Competition in call center is tough though there are call centers that are very easy to get into. If your english is good plus your experience you are definitely qualified. it will be as easy as ABC's for you. If in very unlikely even that you can't get into any call centers, well you have an edge still for as you've said you are well versed in troubleshooting pc problems both hardware and software so you can use this one as a means of income while doing your job hunting.

Skills are very important nowadays so IMO, there is a chance that you can still be hired. I believe that there are companies out there that you can apply. So just browse for jobs that suits your qualifications as what the Messenger said to you.

where i worked before, there were two trainees in their 50's. that's the beauty of call centers--age doesn't matter.
