Weekend, Weekend & Weekend.

Weekend is over and my God I was not contented with how my weekend goes. I moved to a new house which is a lot nearer to my new company address. My new landlady was amazed as to how I got no plates and kitchen utensils when I got 50+ hardbound books. Well, being me is always on the go I mean being single who doesn’t love cooking but do love eating don’t need those stuffs right? Worst, they branded me as a priest since I got a lot of books that made them left no choice but to help me out carry these stuffs since it was raining like cats and dogs. Others carried my non-working PC ( I just can’t dump it actually) and I’m so thankful to those who have helped. I noticed one lady also who was at the sidewalk who also assisted me as well since my book almost fell and when I checked the book t’was “ Jack’s Straight From the Gut” hayyyy.. muntik na! Then I realized I need siguro those utensils J . So I went out bought a few. Gosssh.. these things pala are so expensive now a days. Kaya tuloy napa isip ako, so expensive na pala to get married. Now I’m afraid.. not this time rodel J..

Delighted indeed

I just couldn’t help but acknowledge certain people who wanted to lend a hand but for confidentiality’s sake I’d rather not. I’ve been calling out for aid yet people seem to cover their ears but still I’m very deligthed because of some really cared…it’s because of optimism.

Im bored, got nothing to do so I’m stuck in this café trying to figure out where to head next. Lot’s of stuffs to attend to in the office hours ago but was able to beat the deadlines. No sweat. A close pal of mine was available though she needs more hours of sleep since she’s a nightwalker committed and angaged with a BPO company(Cebu) thus, we had dinner together. We’ve discussed latest things about the web updates about Careerclub Philippines and it’s latest enagements. Wow! I had my break. My mentor told me that she will be using Careerclub Phillipines as a front for a workshop to be held in Cebu before this year ends. The session would be small but it’s diffenetly a good news worth sharing and telling. By the way, I’d like to invite Hr professionals to check “public events” corner for a seminar sponsored by PMAP – Cebu one of my major sponsor. In short, whatever program they’ll be spearheading I’m just there helpless since all of them are my boss (direct and indirect) J. On the other hand, Careerclub Philippines will be iniating a “Cebu SEO Forum – Blog” hopefully before this year ends and initial venue would be at “Sacred Heart”.

To blog or not to blog..

This was the first words that my volunteer blogger told me about what will be her first entry for my project. But I won’t be expecting a lot from her since she’s a very busy person and of most of the time I hate talking and conversing to people who always tells me that their busy. Why? Most of them don’t see the value of time or don’t value time actually. Being busy doesn’t mean your valuing your time but rather the other way around. Valuing time is making use of the time on things your happy doing with. Don’t tell me your happy being busy coz if you do that’s terribly insane of you..

I’m good to go but with a bit of frustration.

Just uploaded our new banner & logo yesterday with the help of a good colleague. Credit to him for helping me out on this one since he gave me this for FREE. Hope to have more of those freebies in the future bro..

In the meantime I was bit saddened as to the outcome of my last entry “I blog for a cause – A must read”. As if nobody even bothered or even cared about it though I’m not blaming anybody on this one. Well, I guess I won’t be relying to anyone nalang cguro on helping people whom I find worth the help. Worst, my effort was not enough to convince fellow bloggers and netizens about my cause. But rest assured I’m not even thinking of stopping the cause to push things forward and help those who need a little help. If squeezing my own resources would be my last resort then so be it.

I blog for a cause - A must read

This project exists because of one thing i.e. “trabaho para sa lahat”. So much about politics coz I’m tired of following them on what’s the latest about PGMA, the issue on the recent tragedy and who was really the target. I’ve reacted violently as to how JDV projected himself in-front of the camera and worst parang nagging showbiz tuloy ang eksina. I’m now back from being sane and politicking has always been waste of time for me.

I blog for a cause, this has been what my soul wants for this topic. Was suppose to publish this entry yesterday but I was preoccupied with things and priorities thus, I’m really sorry Cath. As what I’ve promised to my friend I’ll help her since this is really the reason of my existence. Fellow bloggers and netizens I’m attaching here an open letter from a friend. This is the kind of story that I want from us Filipinos especially to those who already loss their hopes on how survive in this unfair world. Just being optimistic makes things fair enough. We’ve had enough of what’s happening now other groups wanted to start from the head just to harmonize everything and yet until now they’re fighting for it. As for my case I’m starting from the iota, hone him couple with good upbringing then I’ll be confident that I already did my part as a human being.

Her story has really touched me and in one way or another fueled my passion for me to double time or even triple time just to provide things in which ordinary job seekers can not or will never get from anybody. This has been my desired direction for this project to be a provider on my own little way.

America’s 10 Most-Wanted Workers

Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor

Cebu’s three (3) most powerful personalities.

I just thought about this a while ago when I attended a product/service presentation from a provider in our conference room. The presentation was great and I’ll be talking about it in my next entries if time permits. Three most powerful personalities in Cebu measured by connections and assets worth and what’s in them that made them so valuable in this ever changing world aside from being so powerful and untouchable. If you’re an employer having them is a sure business and sure investment. This is just a quick review on them and by the way based on “chismis” and the likes “lang so wag kukurap! “

The man behind this company has diversified its business from entertainment, communication, Bigfoot ventures, and Bigfoot global solutions. Not to mention other investments for sure it would surely be a very long list. Based on conversations with other job seekers it has been considered by various fresh graduates as an employer of choice. Proof is when I had still my Friendster account which I recently deleted it wherein one of my “friends” highlighted on her profile that working on Bigfoot is her dream job and to strengthen my claim that it is indeed an employer of choice a few of our workforce from my previous employer join the bandwagon of Bigfoot as to why? Salary was one thing since it was stated in his resignation letter aside from the company really offers a fun place to its employees. Read more

Wanted: Josh Grovan!

Wanted: Josh Grovan!

Christmas is fast approaching and for sure your HR department same as our HR department is trying to figure out how to come up with a remarkable Christmas party for your employees or for you as an employee. Most likely you’ve been to the war room just to brainstorm as to how you’ll go about it together with the committee members. With you on board for sure it’s a creative event to anticipate with. Programs were presented, various presentations are stuffed too and fillers are never forgotten just to hype up the event and yet still everything is not enough because we or you wanted it to be innovative, creative and the program should be packed with splendid performances from various self-managed teams or from you as a sole performer who wanted nothing but recognition as a talent to be reckon with. Quite challenging ey! Well some achievement-oriented being loves this one and there’s only quite a few of them and sometimes their characters are so obvious that you won’t be needing a psych background just to judge them accordingly.

“Intangible assets – How much is it really worth?

“Intangible assets – How much is it really worth?

Organizational entry isn’t just about finding the right person at the right time for the right job. It is also about keeping the right person. But how can we keep such valuable asset amidst the growing industries that promises to offer a fun place to work with plus perks together with extremely high starting rate? This is just one of those deep-seated questions being thrown now days by HR executives in every round table brainstorming there is. This has been one of the reasons why thinkers such us J. Collins & Porras adopted “built to last concept”, R.M Kanter urged executives to become “change masters” & Welch embraced “boundaryless” organization initiated with an open-book strategy just to encourage innovation and creativity to better position their respective organizations. To borrow one CEO’s statement “Take away my assets and leave my people.” This is one proof of how valuable these intangibles are to every organization striving to keep its pace in the new emerging economy.

Decades ago applicants use to offer commitment, loyalty, trust & conformity to our standards but sudden paradigm shift has emerge that lead to employers approaching talents offering them career path, security, training & development and benefits of which other industries could not match. This is the reason why I’m encouraging young job seekers alike to be a “company of their own” just to keep abreast with the demands of the new economy as discussed on my previous article. This is a good opportunity rather to better equip themselves with the necessary tools & competencies before exploiting the new global mindset of every recruiter and employer i.e. blitzkriegs. Job seekers should never rely too much of what their institution has offered them for things they taught us are mostly outdated proven by emerging practices in the new business arena. You should be responsible of your growth as discussed on my previous article. On one hand, this has been the reason why some multinationals or even local companies resorted to strategic collaborations with known institutions for strategic advantage. Some global corporations have even built their own institution and pooled the best professors at large just to help them breed new emotionally intelligent leaders – Hybrid performers. If you belong to these types of organization then so what if you’ll jump-ship. But still, they’ll bleed in silent and morn for the loss such talent for along with it was an enormous amount of tacit knowledge of which we can’t write nor explain. This led me to embrace the fundamentals of knowledge management before your think tank’s runs dry. Now, are you scared? Is your company still willing to push the game plan with your clear and concise operating system together with your ambitious or measurable goals? Then I would suggest you check your talent management program if it could counter your future knowledge management initiatives. Read more..

Stereotyping: How I hate young recruiters from the BPO Industry!

Stereotyping: How I hate young recruiters from the BPO Industry!

A critique to young recruiters in the BPO Industry.

I just can’t imagine why they’re so fun of stereotyping applicants. If not from schools then from what type of industry you’ve learned stuffs. Is this the kind of training they got form their respective organizations? Are these the one’s being taught to them by their immediate heads on how to get quality and promising applicants? Is this a proven technique as to acquire quality hires?

Young as they are there’s still plenty of lessons still to be learned. I just hoped that they’d realize this early that sometimes real talents are concealed in rough surfaces. It takes a fine craftsman to mold a masterpiece and time to test its determination. You’ll never know that those résumé’s your dumping is gold and right before you knew it they’ve already made your competitor a great company to work with earning enormous profits. Another scenario is how one guy who was thrown out by his own company of which he co-founded. Ironic right? Latter he built his own company of which his former company acquired and right then he was back on board. And who is this guy then? Steve Jobs of Apple himself. You know who’s responsible for iPhone’s wide acceptance though for a fact that it’s still to be released by AT&T come last week of June. Gold’s are buried beneath the surface so you should exert more effort and give them a fair treatment for you to identify future great performers.

“Passion to make a Difference – an HR Cebu Story”

“Passion to make a Difference – an HR Cebu Story”

This has been inspired by a simple yet profound conversation I had with Elena Maramba an aspiring HR professional braced by a recent initiative by HR Philippines spearheaded by Jing Ureta of Marbel University together with it’s ever supportive core team. HR Philippines was the source of my desire to found HR Cebu and sell it to HR Philippines as a regional group with the recognition of HRD Gateway. Passion indeed could make you surmount the insurmountable.

It’s because of passion that we ignite and habit to keep us going. This has been a lesson learned from my previous readings on various blog’s and forums that I used to park and scoop around latest news about technology and potential big ideas. Some of which are potential googler’s in the making who are in the constant lookout for potential VC’s and angels for them to sell their big ideas. Passion indeed could make you fathom the unfathomable. Read more..

A company of your own

So whats that suppose to mean?

This has been my previous learnings from my 3 year stint in the HR arena. You have to be a company of your own.

I’d like to share this self taught learning reinforced by various readings to fellow job seekers out there. Actually I’m still actively looking for a new skill and challenge to embrace hopefully a big one to a new company (BPO preferred).

Job seekers should think like a company or act like a company equipped with the latest tools and competencies for you to be marketable enough to customers around. And who are these customers? Employers of course.

Fresh from college? So how do you guys market yourselves? Well mostly fresh grads usually brag their diploma’s, grades and licenses but I tell you some employers don’t care about these stuffs because past performance cannot guarantee them that your worth the investment though some schools of thought would still agree that it’s a good source of information on how you’ll perform in the long run.

So what then really counts if you don’t belong to those classroom brainiacs of your time?

Knowledge vs. Wisdom

Knowledge vs. Wisdom

Knowledge Management has been the latest fad being adopted by Senior Managers now a day. But we should take note that not all fads are quite effective since there are a lot of things needed to be considered in choosing to adopt a certain fad and Knowledge Management is one fad that made waves in the new economy i.e. BPO Industry. Especially from BPO Industry that they wanted to know what there sub-offices are doing that is why they resulted to integrating all the systems with the use of sophisticated infrastructures.

Adopting knowledge management in the work place should start first on a shared vocabulary idea. One should understand basically what is knowledge and how to acquire it. Actually, knowledge can be and even can be bought. Of course when you avail of trainings and seminars then you acquire such knowledge. But the problem is execution. Execution has been the most common pitfalls by some organizations. They tend to plan superbly but lack the execution part of which this is the most vital part. Execution and implementation should go hand in hand together with some metrics that would ascertain results. Read more..

New Recruitment Strategies By Companies?

Yesterday, I was at the clinic with a patient when I received a phone call. The guy (who’s using a smart cellphone number) who called asked if I’d be interested to join in their company’s expansion program as a health consultant. I didn’t answer to that and asked him how he got my number and if somebody referred me to him. He said he got it from some “headhunter” that he couldn’t even recall the name (oh great, you’re trying to recruit someone and you don’t even want to remember people who referred that person to you. What about character references? Does he know about that?).

I asked him what company he’s working for. Then he answered me by saying words vaguely and were almost gibberish by the sound of it (he doesn’t even have a good accent trying to speak in English, which gave me the impression that he’s already memorized this part about his company and have been well-rehearsed to be able to say it very fast so I wouldn’t be able to catch what he exactly said). He only slowed down in talking when he was saying some buzzwords like “expansion”, “multinational company”, “compensation”, and “Stanford University” (oh, was he trying to impress me with the name? No, he didn’t. By the way he said “Stanford University”, I was only more convinced that there’s something fishy going on) and when he shifted to Filipino and asked, “Ano po ba ang specialization ninyo? (What’s your specialization?)”.

I decided to give him a little spin.

You’re only worth 15 seconds of a recruiter’s time.

You’re only worth 15 seconds of a recruiter’s time. Can you believe that? How terrible isn’t it? But for all you know it’s a fact. No recruiter spends too much time on reviewing your resume once you apply to him or her. How about in the call center for sure my resume is worth their time. That I doubt. Due to shortage of supply plus an average of 7% turn over in this type of industry I doubt if they’ll go over with your resume. They’ll just call you directly (reviewing your resume for 15 sec) conduct a caned type of interview and your good to go if you pass. Read more here..

Customer Service Anyone?

[Rant]

Some of you may know that I had a job in a not so popular food establishment, not a fast food establishment, but an establishment that sells food.

Last night, after the thanksgiving mass for the Pinoy Media Congress 2007 Year 3, I went to the Morayta branch, going in to have a little chat and a little munch.

From the outside I can see it already and it looked worse inside.

Sci-fi: Lose a job, get a job

Have you ever been fired because of boredom?I have, and I’m not proud of it, and that’s a story that I’d talk about some other day. But I can relate with these Japanese guys who have been reprimanded for contributing to Gundam’s wikipedia entry. 260 times. Using the Japanese ministry of agriculture’s computers.

Reminds me of the memo the DENR issued to their employees. The subject? Accessing Friendster during office hours.

Fortunately sometimes both sci-fi and Friendster have their legitimate uses in business. Some businesses actually use Friendster (or more commonly, MySpace, and more recently, Facebook) to market their products. And a guy actually used his obsession for Star Wars costumes to get a job:

THE YANKS DESERVES IT!

The Curse of the Official Transcript of Records

Younger readers, take care of your college grades. I tell you, they’ll haunt you forever …forever …FOREVER!

Because I’m with the academe, I can’t help it that every time I apply for a new job, be it part-time or full-time, I need to submit my Official Transcript of Records.

Although past is past, I still feel humiliated upon seeing those 4 pages of college grades. I repeated a majority of my math subjects, and the rest of my grades were on the edge. It’s like a scar which says, “Yes, in college, I was mediocre.”
