Hi Kabayan,
We have the same code (Training and Dev Professional). I lodged my ACT SS last Oct 28th. Hopefully they will approve both our applications. Tanong ko lang, anong industry mo ng Training and Dev? Kasi ako nsa BPO. Yung mga sinend mo ba na research of job vacancies related sa industry mo ngayon or basta related lang sa Training?
Thank and God Bless us all.

I read that you are working in a Call Center Industry. Un mga pinasa mo bang research on job vacancies related sa industry mo ngayon or not necessarily? I am working kasi as a Training and Dev Professional sa BPO din.Upon researching, madami naman vancancies for Training sa ACT but hindi necessarily sa BPO, so I'm not sure if that's ok.
Thanks and God Bless us all.
