Job Hunting: Signed, Sealed and Delivered?

Wednesday (May 13, 2009), I went to ACS of the Philippines for the job offer.

Someone from the HR informed us about the package that we will be getting as an employee of the company.

The package is quite good. Of course, there are some minuses, and there are some pluses. It can’t be avoided. For no two companies are the same.

Me, I’m just excited about this new job. Needless to say, I signed the contract.

But, this is just the beginning. I still have to undergo weeks of training for this account. And eventhough I already have a background with this kind of account/product, I shouldn’t let my guard down. And this is a new company. I’ll also be working with new people. So, basically, it’s back from the scratch.

I’m very optimistic about this new experience ahead of me.

P.S.
I would like to thank God for everything.

Job Hunting: The Verdict

Tuesday (May 12, 2009), I was taking a nap when my celfone rang at exactly 6 o’clock in the evening.

The caller, a certain “Mike”, informed me that I passed the final interview. And that I need to report the next day, Wednesday at 5 o’clock in the afternoon for the job offer.

Woohoo!

Job Hunting: The Journey

Well, last Monday (May 11, 2009), I went to ACS to apply as a customer service representative. As a former colleague and a friend of mine, Brenda, informed me that there is an opening in their account.

Before anything else, this ACS is different from where I previously came from. ACS stands for Affiliated Computer Services or rather called ACS OF THE PHILIPPINES, is located at the One E-Com Building, right beside the SM Mall of Asia’s Hypermart.

My very first job as a callcenter agent was with ACS, which stands for Advance Contact Solutions, located in Makati.

My life partner, Omel, came along to give support.

Anyways, we got there around 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The first exam was grammar and sentence construction. Easy.

Second was a typing exam. This got me perplexed. For, the keyboard that they are using got these really big keys on it. Good thing I passed. LOL!

Third was softskills evaluation cum interview. Again, easy.

Fourth was a full interview (initial interview), in where they asked questions about my previous experiences with ACS and TeleTech Bacoor. I passed this one, as well. And here, I found out that they’re going to put me in a healthcare account, in which I already have a background with.

Then, the interviewer asked me if I would like the final interview to be conducted within the same day or would I go back the next day. I opted to take the final interview within the same day. But, it will be conducted 2hours later, 8pm to be exact. Which is just fine for me and Omel were already dead hungry.

So, we dropped-by KFC and ate like there’s no tomorrow. After that, we hanged-out at the sea front to relax and to camwhore!

Then we headed back to ACS’s office for my final interview.

Final interview went well. It was just all for formalities. The interviewer was quite impressed by my background. Too bad, he informed me that I have to wait for a call within 24-48hours to find out the results.

Needless to say, we went home. But, with high hopes.

To Mama… Happy Mother’s Day!

Mama, I know that hindi tayo nakakapag-usap tungkol sa mga personal ba bagay-bagay…

And, na hindi ko nakasanayan na i-express yung mga nararamdaman ko and magbatian man lang tayo pag may mga okasyon…

Hindi ko man masabi ito ng personal sa iyo…

Pero I want the whole world to know na sobrang proud ako na nagkaroon ako ng nanay na katulad mo…

That I admire your strengths and hardships for me and Alexander…

Na ikaw yung tumayong haligi ng tahanan nung namatay si papa…

You are my hero…

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Salvacion Abao! We Love You Sobra!
