A SCENE FROM “LOVE ACTUALLY”
SONG: ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMASS Y’ALL!
Its not so easy out there!
Yehey its sembreak.. bohoo for me, it might sound idiotic and sarcastic whatever, but im determined to get a part time job, my first resort be a call center agent. Hey why not? everyones joining the bandwagon, even my neighbour is one, and to think shes a loud mouth every morning you wouldnt think she had a knack for the job. So okay, off i went w/ a friend, and after deciding on a few sites we settled for makati, the hub reeks call center. We got fooled by one too many recruiting firms whose only dwell in life is to give aspiring applicants the waste of time and an extra credit from it to point to us exactly where in those high towering building an agency may be. Ok, map ready, band aid plastered off we went! there are sites where in from initial interview we fall flat in our face because the HR plainly told us they werent expecting part timers right now, atleast not naive students like us but they give exceptions on MB’s , dentist, mom-on-the-side and teachers. It didnt sound like it but it did seem like it! fiddle sticks. id like to stick it up to her nose. There are site ofcourse wherein we pass initials then exams and when it came to final, we got full blown rejection because they wanted us to be solely interested in pursuing a career there. No way, its effin crazy enough to be scolded by your parents we will not lower ourselves to self bingeing B’s and J’s.
How to pass the interviews, it is not true to say be yourself. Be yourself with class A+ upgrades. Brag and Brag you self pitying loser. The first interview i had for the job the HR didnt so much as look at me but doodled in my resume looking once or twice if she sense something fishy about what im talking about in the end she-in-all-her-greatness corrected me on some of my grammar, and i dont make mistakes on this its just that her presence makes me kinda sweaty but not nervous surprisely. Yeah, yeah the HR’s are the villains in most applicants experience sometimes its yourself, so you only have a lose lose chances.
top questions ask:
1 tell me something about yourself.
2 what do you think of teamwork.
3. why should we hire you.
4. how do you see yourself 3 to 5 years from now
5. do you multi task? when and how.
6. what motivates you?
and sometimes they might throw in surprising questions like…. haha
* if you were president for 6 months what would you do?
* what is your favorite color.
* how will you survive in the wild.
~mainly ask because they measure up you conversational skill.
And hey, they follow the “first impression last” in thier. you must be extremely friendly or otherwise known as extroverted lunatic party animal goer. thumbs down, no two, not me.
