Dancing in the Street

Do you ever had those happy moments that you simply want to jump because you just can not describe why you are happy?

http://ping.fm/glttz

I just want to dance and I just want to keep this smile all day long. I am scared though because there might be something else and I might not like it.

I did not have enough sleep. I do not know where to get the people to hire for a particular project. Someone declined my offer for she said it is way too cheap and it hits the rock bottom of very cheap labor. I do not have any reason at all to be happy.

Anyway, I am happy now and I am just ready to jump for that happiness.

Operation: Macbook

been saving for a while for this thing. Now I definitely need one for my part time work and so i can work where i am. I only have 10K for now and I need 35-40K for the mackbook and the shipping and all stuff that i have to pay. Been working my butt hard to save and it is not easy to save money especially when you are supporting your slightly disabled dad and the youngest sister who is going to school.



I wish I will get this one.

It is always feel great to see someone happy. This time it did made me happy but made me sad as well. It made me sad because I like the "someone". I admit, I am jealous so I'm writing it here so I can express it out and maybe ask from you to poke me and say, "Wake up! Hunee. Doh!"

Matt Mullenweg's Talks About his WordPress


Matt said it was his first time to be in the Philippines and he'd rather ride a Philippine Jeepney than a African Van. It was also Matt's first time to talk in front of a pool with at least 3 bats flying, I guess enjoying the program as well.

WordCamp Philippines will be on September 6, 2008. Before Matt go to Manila, Blogie (the man behind all these) made Matt go to Davao first, enjoy the city and what the hell, Matt Mullenweg as Indiana Jones (according to Chattee) at Eden Nature Park?? Wish I was with them that time... oh well, I'm one of the early birds so I get to have a bag.... Smiles from all of us in Davao

BPO HR Forum

I have been writing about working at MTC Academy and its nature of business that it is a medical transcription school. Now, MTC Academy has a sister company, ZipIT Solutions, Inc., which is primarily a medical transcription service organization.

On the first year that we've operated MTC Academy in Davao, there were a lot of curious people asking what is medical transcription. After a year and a half, people were asking where can they apply. My boss and I firmly believes that you don't give fish to people, instead teach them how to fish and so my boss initiated that there should be a transcription organization in Davao. So there is Transcription Alliance of Davao, Inc. (TADI) which is an organization of training providers, such as MTC Academy, and service providers, such as ZipIT Solutions, Inc.

Last August 29, at the Royal Mandaya Hotel, a discussion on both academes and employers on how to address a particular problem in recruitment or hiring. Although there was a drop on the number of enrollees which is mainly due to the economic problem, the real problem is job placement and why there's a little percentage of hiring?

I had my own taste of how it is to be unemployed. After so many job interviews you still don't get the job you applied for, especially the ones related to your course. At first I did not know that I have to have the basic skills. I just thought, I graduated from a prestigious school so I can easily be hired. I guess not! Because I simply don't give up, I landed on my first job after 5 years of being unemployed.

At the Jobs Fair at Sangguniang Panglungsod, last August 30-31, there are some applicants that would come to the employer's booth and would pass their resume without knowing the industry. I told myself that I was like that when I used to apply for a vacant position. Now I've realized it's a "No-No" to wear slippers, jeans, and as an applicant please let us not forget to at least look fresh and neat.

It is always good to have forums although some forums are really irrelevant.

BPO Company expenditures in Advertising

utterz-image
Employers thought there's not enough supply of labor so they thought of spending millions in advertising just to let the word out. Reality is, there are a lot of graduates. But they don't have the skills. How come?? The whole industry are focused on employers and potential employees when there is one big factor a potential employee go to before they go to their potential employers. And that is the Academe. Who are in the academe? The faculty. Question is, if times are changing, is there an assurance that the teaching in the academe are frequently updated and the faculty are skilled enough or well-experienced to teach new skills?

What about this pic?? It had been always a problem that there are a lot of graduates of Computer Science Course and yet they don't exactly fit to the position required of a company...so what to do?? a forum where academe meets employers and talks about what can be done and should be done... :)
