OJT Seekers Day 1

all of us, including rejan, looked for a company where OJT's are needed badly...

We first try our luck in Technohub... In IBM Daksh... and in Manulife...

In IBM Daksh, we are told that we should go to their recruitmnent office in Libis.. So... We left IBM daksh and go to Manulife...

We thought that Manulife is accepting OJT's so we just go inside and fill up the log- in form and the guard gave some sheets of paper to be filled up... but suddenly the guard call us and asked if we are applying for an OJT position, of course we say yes... Then he suddenly say that they are not hiring interns so we just left the building and go to the next destination...

We all decided to go to NIA (National Irrigation Administration... something like that) but we just saw a building namely NEA... and not NIA... anyways we just try our luck... asked the guard if there's any vacant OJT position... then he left to ask someone... then he got back... He said that they are currently have enough interns... in short, another strike...

Next stop, NAPOCOR... it's just a highway away from NEA so we decided to walk to get in there... and asked the guard... and... another strike... STRIKE 3... hehehehehe...



next stop... Cubao... in a BPO company namely Telus... but of course before going inside that place we eat just to have enough strength and mental stability... we also need a break from that continuous strike...

after eating our lunch, we go straight ahead to the main bldg. of Telus and we immediately pass our resume... we wait for our names to be called and after 30mins... all of us are called altogether...

we were inside an interview room... quite cold (sine I hate cold environment... it irritates me a lot) and a bit relaxing... too quiet but since all of us are gathered in one room... it will never be that quite at all... hehehehe... anyways, as the interviewer enter the room... of course, we became serious and a bit nervous... he just ask all of us some basic information with some follow ups and it ended there... in the end, we are asked if all of us are willing to be relocated to Market Market... I say yes... some are no.

Next stop is Teleperformance in Shaw... but actually we drop by in Ortigas expecting that we can get anything there... but we didn't even stop to look for any companies around Ortigas... hehehehe... we just walked to Shaw where Teleperformance is located... we just memorized what to say whenever we are asked or to be asked... but we still fail to get anything there... oh... I forgot... we had a glimpse on an IBM recruitment Center there so we just give our resume... just in case... we hope our luck will be enough to get hired in that BIG company...

last stop... Smart Wireless Center in Rockwell... I actually had my first interview there last friday (April 30, 2010)... I interviewed because I submit my resume in their site just in case... and I just the interviewer if my friends can go there too... She said yes so I just bring the whole group there but Maam Eimee was moved to Galleria...

We just decided to go there next time ...

And all in all... We have the chance to ride MRT several times (in slang--- "Nagasgas ang MRT sa kakasakay nmin" hehehehehe joke2)...

It's an exciting and tiring adventure... Yet some have the chance to be hired and the rest will still need to look for more...

Good luck to all of us guys...
