U'r all welcome guys...

Good Morning I would like to ask if what is the best answer if your interviewer asked you, Why are you not pursuing a job related to your course? Thanks

Actually, ito yung pinaka-mahirap na tanong saken nung 1st time akong pumasok sa BPO industry ^_^

For me, "Diskarte" lang ang kailangan. What I did is that I focused on the postive traits that are required in handling customers, like being patient, providing good service, etc... They won't blame you if you graduated from a course w/c is not related to what you are applying for and be sure to be "Consistent" in all of your answers.

Here's a sample answer:

"My career shift is a result of two things: that the call center industry is the most viable, and two, that my belief in life is akin to customer service. I believe that this is the industry where I will best thrive, that is why I am applying as a call center agent and no longer as a nurse.”


Take note that when an interviewer asks this kind of question, he is not poised to automatically fail you simply because you graduated with a degree in nursing (or any course); he is probing for your motivation for finding work. He is looking for any indication that you plan to leave when you see the next opportunity. Therefore, the focus of your response should be to overcome this bias.

Also, remember that a recruiter has a quota, if he sees that you are qualified for the job and that you won’t jump ship at the next port, he may be able to defend your case and offer you a job.

And... more importantly, an applicant MUST always do research, especially about the company’s background and the requirement for the job vacancies. Some accounts are very specific about their requirements, one obvious example is an IT company looking for a Level II or Level III TSR will, of course, not hire a nursing graduate.
