Call Center 101: What to Wear At Work

by - 12:21:00 PM

I know what you're thinking: Why care about what you look like when all you need to perform well as a Call Center Agent is your golden voice? Well, I'm sorry but, I think you should change the way you think things because dressing up to work is next to great performance!


KEY: CONFIDENCE

One of the secrets of being on top is having the confidence to stand out. And for you to stand out, you have to be at your best, not just intellectually but also physically. So being a fashion enthusiast ever since the old age, I am so happy to be in the industry where I could express myself more and share my passion. Yes! I am a proud Call Center Agent.

I've been working as a Call Center Agent for quite some time, been to different BPO companies and I've been exposed enough to know the environment.

I wanna share one qoute from The Little Black Book of Style by Nina Garcia:

 
Confidence plays a very big part in working as a Call Center Agent
Why?
  Because you won't belong if you don't have the guts. Because you won't excel if you stutter when you speak so basically, you can't communicate well if you lack confidence. 

And for you to gain that confidence, you needed to know exactly what to wear at work, especially with all the factors you have to consider!
 
So in deciding what style to ramp on the FLOOR here's the list of the things you have to think about...

The Shift.   

Most of the time, the working schedule is really crazy. If you're lucky you get a daytime job but mostly you get the graveyard shift. Because you will be catering people from the other side of the world. You sometimes even have to get out of the house at the most unholy hour. So if you're a woman, you have to be covered at least!

The Office Temperature 

This is a BPO stereotype. IT'S ALWAYS REALLY COLD! Over sized hoodies are just mostly unflattering.

The Culture 

Basically each companies have their own culture, some would allow you to wear anything you like, but there are also companies that would require you to wear business casual.  And there goes the challenge!

The Sense of Comfort 

Well of course how can you be confident when you're not at all comfortable with what you're wearing?

And blazers, cover ups, jackets, pullovers, hoodies, coats, and ponchos will be your best friend but like any other best friends you have, they will just always be there when you needed them.



Here are some awesome office blazers I found online. These are available overseas and a bit pricy. But I suggest you go thrift shopping for unique and awesome cover up finds!

But on top of these, we still have to think of our overall style. And the greatest challenge of all is thinking of what to wear EVERYDAY!!!

So here are some of my style suggestions...





Be fabulous and classy with Puffy Long Sleeves or Collared Tops








Dress Down Days

 

 




















Or if the company just let you wear anything.. you can go preppy and girly, sexy and classy, lookbookish or tumblrish or KPOP! Go ahead... BE YOURSELF!!








So like I say, I am a Call Center Agent by profession, It's one of the highest paying job in the country but the most exhausting and the most challenging. So you better have enough inspiration and motivation to survive. BPO is also the only job who doesn't care about who you are.Whether you're poor, rich, with or without college diploma, in whatever gender or age bracket you belong, as long as you're at a legal age, as long as you have the confidence and the guts, and the best communication skills, then you're in. But of course, for you get higher pay, you should perform well. This is also the kind of job who appreciates your effort and who value you as much as the clients. So if you are loving this job, it will love you back

Coincidentally, we cater calls as Fashion Consultants!! Oh, I just love my job so much!

Anyway, thanks for checking this one out, hope you got something from it! You can also check Sykes E-Recruitment Site

    Wow, I'm impressed that you work as a call center agent as I can imagine for this job many skills are necessary! And I'm sure you are doing a good job as you I think fulfill all the requirements you mentioned. Wish you further many success and fun. Thanks for sharing your tips, what I mostly wear at works are pants with a blazer or jacket or cardigan ... I think this is my kind of uniform. You look great in all the outfits you show here btw <3

      Thanks for these sweet words Rena. I am loving all your outfits too. Though I really thig I won't look good in pants. But I'll try that as a style challenge. Well being a call center agent is tough though. Ever tried calling customer service before? That's what we do. But the best thing about it is we can go ahead and build bridges from the other side. Thanks for your well wish and appreciation of my outfits.

    This is a nice take about being comfortable while looking good while at work especially to those working in a call center. The job is really stressful so wearing something nice that makes you comfy and confident would somehow subside the stress. It has also been my dilemma before because people might tease me how I look because I'm really bad at picking the right clothes to wear and those color matching, I'm not just the "fashionista" type of guy. But eventually I realized that it's more important that you feel comfortable on what you're wearing because it resonates to your physical appearance and other people would say "damn. you look good tonight"

    PS: You got a knock on modeling. Care to give it a shot? :D
