@mark_y hi sir! Sa website po nila ako nag apply. I submitted my cv and also applied sa vacancies nila sa website. Tumawag po yung headhunter and asked me to pop in to their office so we can talk about my cv. She just asked me to run through my experience and said na she'll put me in her roster of candidates. Every Monday after our first chat (28th of May po ata yun) is tumatawag po siya. So for 3 weeks din is she keeps saying na she is still looking for a suitable role. Akala ko nga po those were just empty words. So, finally last Thursday is she asked if I had experience with a particular role. I was honest and told her that I didn't but I might have had similar exposure. Sabi niya is she'll just give it a shot and send my cv to the client and see if they will consider. Thank God they did! Saturday when the headhunter called me up and said that the client is keen to interview me on Monday. So, I spent the weekend to prepare for the interview. Hindi masyado defined yung job description kaya it was hard to anticipate questions. Ang pinaka dreaded ko po kasi are techincal ones. Haha! Anyway, I tried to go over the common interview questions tapos I prepared a spiel for the tell me about yourself part. Since marami naman nagsasabi na that's how interviews commence I thought to myself na it will be good if I confidently deliver it. It will set my mood for the entire interview. 2 po yung nag interview sakin. I went with my game plan and it worked out naman. There were questions na I wished I answered better. Pero wala naman na ako magagawa since tapos na. At the end is sabi nila is they are still interviewing another person and they will come to a decision the next day. May nainterview na din sila na 4 persons before me and sabi nila they are all good technically. Kaya naisip ko na parang oh noh, my chances are slim but come night time I got a call from my recruiter again and said that the client liked me and wants me to start on Wednesday (today).
So, today was my first day at work. Accountant din po ako dun sa new company ko.
I hope this gives hope to everyone looking for work. I've been on the hunt din for a few months and with constant prayer is God blessed me with this wonderful gift. Always be hopeful and surround yourself with positive people. I know na hanggang di pa dumadating ang work is the future seems bleak pero walang imposible. God already brought us here and He will never forsake us. Count your blessings palagi. There is always something to be thankful for and that will keep you going.
Don't forget po to try some volunteering. I did a few events and once a week is nag a-administration assistant ako sa isang neighborhood centre. This will help you become busy aside sa job hunting.
Goodluck po! Be specific po sa prayer niyo. 🙂 never second guess yourself!
Sorry po this is a lengthy post now.
