A work ahead : Part Deux

Well, it's been almost a month now since I started "job hunting" again. I did turn down one of the offers though. But, that's been done. I've applied to a couple of company I like and positions I prefer. I was about to begin to apply for jobs that is somewhat in my interest just to get a job and then go up again internally. But today was different...

A typhoon, "Frank", just passed through here in the Philippines and I started anew and applied again. I am almost in slight desperate mode as I really needed a job. I do not just prefer my old company, I love working there so I passed by this morning and went to the same process again. This time, it seems my prayers are slowly being answered. Not only did I have a chance to be back working with my company but I got a better position. It is not over yet though, I'm still for a final interview and I had the same feeling when I passed the other application with flying colors.

It is hard to apply for a job. I'm turning to my experience to land me a job as soon as possible. But it is way harder to apply for a job you like as there is somewhat a slight pressure on you if you don't get it. But for me, the more pressure, the more serious I get and the better the results are. But now, I am thanking God for this chance. I'll do the best I can to land that job I finally like. It's same as my previous position but on a different department. Nonetheless, my top priority is my previous company. Wish me luck! =) Thank you.

A Work Ahead

The past 2 days, I've been applying for the best jobs I could possibly get. Here in manila, there are quite a number of good call centers and one of them was my previous employer. As of now, I have applied at ACS and NCO. I was a supervisor in my previous job and I've been dealing with quite a lot of admin tasks that I always get involved with other departments. One of which is recruitment, I started to learn how to think like you own the company and interview / hire someone.

I then started out my quest a 48 hours ago and accomplished quite a lot. I got into ACS first and managed to pull through. Although I'm on the final interview, I'll still be waiting for a schedule. The next one, I applied at NCO, this is my previous company and I've been there for 2 years and 4 months. I realized then that, I really love this company and wanted to stay with them. I followed the same instructions and alas, I'm on the final interview again. I'm now waiting for a final interview which I plan to pass with flying colors and get back to one of the best call centers here in manila.

Just some tips. If you're on a job interview, don't be scared. It's ok to be nervous but be nervous before you go into the interview. During an interview be professional and casual all the time. Be honest and show them that you want to be a part of their team. Show strong points that pertains to the position you're applying for and let them realize as well that you have what they need and you can deliver what you have. Good luck to all.
