  Just ended my customer service stint with a healthcare company in Mulgrave (hanglayo kasi!). Had an interview this morning with Stellar BPO in Box Hill. Salmat is also a huge call centre company in CBD. Good luck!

  @jck29 I hold visa 190. May open day interview ang Stellar. Ask them kung kailan ang next, there's no need to wait for an invite.

  Not related but I reckon it would be better if you guys apply for customer service rather than in call center , TPG, Optus and Telstra's call center are sourced overseas so I dont think you can find a vacancy for a Call center
