Exp. usually not required. If you can talk coherently, you should be fine.

St Leonards too far? I could try to get you a job, you seem like a decent person. (going by your posts).

you have to make sure you're doing inbound calls, not outbound (sales). trying to sell stuff over the phone is the toughest job ever, you get screamed and abused every second call and you have to be soo patient to put up with it. from my experience, do not consider it unless its either inbound or pays crazily.

yeah its good experience, try to stick with one for at least 6 months anyway. That said, it can be pretty soul-destrying, one consequence is you end up hating humanity, even if you do inbound sales. Depends on the call centres, there's heaps around.

However, avoid "Teleperformance" for dear life (they accept people with no call centre experience, but work with them at your own peril. On that note, they're on the verge of closing down in Australian anyway, I think... I hope, no one is outsourcing their call centre work to them anymore).
