Sorry for not updating the site these past few days. I've been incredibly busy applying for a job (which I've finally decided to withdraw my application from.) The company is a call center and despite the fact that Trade Undersecretary Gregory Domingo commented that Philippine call centers are world class, (Philippine Star, July 7, 2002) I've still decided that I'm not cut out as a customer support team member. I'm supposed to have my second interview today but I'm totally freaked out! My job requires me to speak fluently in English for most of the company's customers are foreigners. In order to get the job, I'll have to pass 3 interviews, one of which is a panel interview where several criticizing eyes would be piercing my body. I don't want to exhaust myself in something I'm really not interested in. I asked my interviewer yesterday if transferring departments is possible, (I'd like to get transferred to their webdev department) but she told me that for the mean time - no.

I met Kuya She at Mega Mall the other day. He's currently working at Don Bosco as a Systems Engineer. He told me that most of the Kuya group works at Lynksys. He told me that I should try it out sometime. They give an allowance of ten thousand pesos and once you get regularized, they'd raised your pay EXPONENTIALLY! Hehe... just kidding. They'll just raise your pay once you get regularized, just like the one I'm applying for right now. For a while, I was tempted by what She told me. At least the environment at Lynksys, I believe, is homely because of the familiar faces there, but then again, I'd rather exert effort on something I'm really interested in. If by the end of July, I still haven't found a job that meets my requirements and I've ran out of pocket money, I'll take anything that's available. That means, I'll have two weeks to find a good job opportunity.
