Eto ang nangyari. Diako masyadong nagseryoso sa paghahanap ng trabaho ng 2 buwan. Since last weekof March to present lang ako naging seryoso sa pursuit. Mahirap kasi maghanap ng trabaho ng walang pera at ayokong humingi sa aking mga magulang.
Yung first job interview (way back in January) palpak. I almost doubted myself. Almost. May job offer na tinanggihan ako. Yung isa sa Account Specialist for an oil company na medyo may pangalan na rin kahit papaano (pero di bahagi sa mga major players). Tinanggihan ko na yung final interview kasi sa sinabi sa akin, walang overtime pay and it’s expected that I work for 6 days at madalas daw late yung uwi. Maraming nanghinayang sa mga kilala ko kasi 14K yung sweldo tapos non-call center. At sa tingin nila makaka-kumisyon ako ng malaki doon. Sabi nila maraming pera doon. Eh, tinanggihan ko na! To make myself happy, gumawa ako ng mental image ng polar bear sa ibabaw ng iceberg na malapit na matunaw at natatalisod na sya. I mean, I will be partly responsible because I will be increasing the market for an oil company that’s causing some issues with global warming!
I really like to work for an IT company. I guess that’s the good thing that came out when I worked in my recent call center. I enjoyed working with computers (minus the irate callers). Troubleshooting is fun but I don’t see myself doing that in the next 5 or 10 years.
I declined a job offer yesterday. O! Di ba ang yabang ko. Pa-decline-decline…. I feel a bit guilty that many people in our country are unemployed and I am picky with a job. And a bit selfish coz we are really having money issues right now. It’s another technical support representative job. And it would be similar to my old job. They are offering me 16K. Maybe if they increase that, I may have reconsidered. Mayabang talaga di ba? And the facilities there are great. May gym at court. Not that I play sports but maybe I may just do my long delayed plans of pumping up… Too lazy. I doubt I’ll really do that.
I applied to be a Business Development Officer. And I think they like me. I received a call last Thursday and told me that they are preparing the contract and my station. It’s a company that develops websites and provides IT assistance for some businesses that don’t have an IT department. I am really interested in it. It’s scary coz it will be something I never tried before. The people seem to be nice (and I don’t see anyone looking like those call center jocks)… many look a lot like geeks. I belong! Joke lang.
The downside is that they don’t have the same benefits that call centers have. Di kami mayaman kaya money will always be an issue. They are offering me 15K. Medyo malaki nga daw yun para sa entry level pero malayo sa bahay. But I am interested and I think I will learn a lot of things there. Naguguluhan ako if tatanggapin ko na ba!
I have another application, I will have my final interview. Tech support din pero nakakalula yung sinasabi nilang sweldo. It’s speculated that it’s around 24K plus allowances na two thousand. Nag-research din ako sa office culture nila dito and it seems that it’s really nice.
Bahala na.
haha bakit kaya ganun no ang hirap magdecide?
ako sa ngayon e nagtatraining ako for java. at pagkatapos non eh after nila kami iassess at kung pumasa e hire nila kami kaya piangiigihan ko talaga.
di na ako mapili ngayon, natuto na ako sa mga desisyons ko last year.
Gano’n talaga kasi kung tutuusin marami ding pagpipilian kung alam mong mas deserving ka ng mas magandang trabaho. Mukhang ok ‘yung 24K. Laki no’n. Puwede ka maka-ipon then tayo ka ng business hehe.
uhhmm yung tito ko din maraming nag ccriticize sa kanya bat palipat lipat ng trabaho. But you see. Work means satisfaction. Parang course din yan na pipiliin eh. Dapat masaya ka.
dude dpt above twenty na ang basic mo kung tatanggap ka ulet ng tech sup..
ingatz ka lagi..
pera o kasiyahan…may kasiyahan ba sa pera lang?…kaw lang makakasagot.
Maraming salamat. Pinili ko na yung malaking sweldo pero di sya 24K. 22,500 lang. tanggalin pala natin yung lang. tapos 3K na allowance.
fat albino girl will get to read this blog.. ahahhaa
^Medyo napababa yung comment mo, ah. OK lang yun. Wala naman akong sinabi na kakaiba kesa naman sabihin ko na payat at kayumanggi, di naman. Hehehe. I think she hasn’t done me wrong.
