How to approach a call centre in Cape Town
Go to the company's own careers page for its current vacancies. Check the advert for the campaign, the shift pattern and the pay before you apply. A genuine call centre will never ask you to pay for an interview, a uniform or a training kit upfront.
For the wider picture of hiring in the sector, read why call centres struggle to staff.
Keep a short record of what you have tried. Note the company, the date you applied and the role. It makes follow-up easier and stops you applying twice for the same campaign.
