Keep in mind Accenture is casual employment only, not full-time hours.

If anyone is interested check the bank call centres like RBC, CIBC, BMO. Good easy way to get your foot in the banking sector without having to go through the teller route.
Generally expect $15-20/hour + bonus up to 10% of wage - share purchase plan usually in place as well

What type of qualifications do employers look for call centre jobs? I don't have a lot of experience, but I do have customer service experience. I'm looking for full time employment in the summer and hopefully get part time when I do go back to school.

My wife started out there casual part time 9 or 10 years ago and has never had anything but fulltime even when she first started. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's still like that.

how does one go about applying to a call center, is it through connections or online, drop off resume, fax? and how would you know if theyre hiring?
and is there a directory on what companies offer said positions?

There's always sites like monster, workopolis etc where you can sort jobs by call centre but of course not all call centres post on these sites. The other option is to just know the names of call centres where you want to apply and just go directly on their website to see openeings. Shaw, Telus, Rogers, Fido, Bell, etc..

Accenture's Call Centre Management team is a joke. I remember writing a skill testing exam for their Helpdesk position couple of years ago, on the test, one of the questions they asked me was "What is the nickname of BC Hydro's server?" (They were supporting BC Hydro during that time, not sure about now.)
Now tell me, how is this relevant to my IT technical skill and how is an external applicant suppose to know that?
Retarded.
