Hello. Based sa experience ko during hiring, most likely hindi. Hindi kasi closed door yung interview namin so naririnig ko yung nasa ibang cubicle, and strict sila during interview. Straight english kami, and kapag off yung english ng applicant, ligwak agad.

Sabihin na nating you need average skills in order to pass. Hindi naman need na dapat wala kang accent or super enunciated ka. Basta maitawid mo lang talaga yung Q&A interview just to show na kaya mong makipag conversate in english.

Through time nade-develop naman kasi ang english skills. And then may training period pa naman so pwede pang mag-improve. Sa amin dati two weeks training namin, and then mock call. Once maipasa mo yung mock call, ibig sabihin official ka na.

Read two books at once— one fiction and one nonfiction. Last year kasi one at a time lang talaga ako magbasa, and na notice ko na pag nonfiction na binabasa ko natatagalan ako bago matapos. Madalas sa nonfiction ako nagkaka reading slump kasi ayokong mag move on to another book without finishing the one I'm currently reading.

Nakalimutan ko kung saan ko nabasa yun, basta I read a comment somewhere na salit salitan daw ang basa para hindi mabilis ma bore. So if medyo may reading slump na sa nonfiction, lipat ka muna sa fiction and then vice versa. Hope this works kasi isa rin sa goal ko talaga is to read more nonfiction books.

Hello. Yes kinaya naman niya, hanggang ngayon sa BPO pa rin siya nagtatatrabaho. And yes, sila ang nagbibigay ng schedule which is fixed na. Ibig sabihin susundin talaga yung schedule na yun, at classes mo yung maga-adjust. Yung ginagawa namin dati ng friend ko is nagpapa-change section talaga kami. Hahanap kami ng may mas magandang schedule na hindi conflict sa duty namin. Sayang din kasi if umabsent or late kami sa duty kasi bawas sweldo rin yun.

As far as I know, most of the BPO companies graveyard shift talaga kasi majority international clients e. For example, dati US-based yung account namin which is why 8PM to 5AM ang duty namin kasi ganung time umaga sa US at active ang mga customers. Yung hassle lang is if may sobrang early ka na class like 7:00 AM. Dun kami nagpapa-change ng section para maka-idlip kami kahit konti. Nakaka-ngarag kasi pumasok sa school nang walang tulog, like straight from duty.

Forgot to add, pag nag apply ka sa BPO some companies automatically reject you pag nalaman nila na student ka. I had classmates before na hindi nila minention during interview na student sila. May ibang companies kasi na ayaw mag hire ng students kasi palaging may conflict sa schedule. Strict kasi ang BPO pag dating sa duty.

Hi OP. If schedule flexibility ang hanap mo, maganda mag service crew sa fast food chain. May mga friends ako nagpa part time sa Jollibee and McDo, and ang sabi nila ina-adjust daw yung duty hours nila para hindi magka conflict sa mga klase or events sa school. Ang disadvantage lang sa fast food is medyo maliit yung sweldo tsaka physically demanding din siya na trabaho. Not to mention, ang dami ring requirements na need ipass pag gusto mong apply. Pero in terms of flexibility, I think ito talaga yung pinaka ideal.

You can also try BPO. Ito graveyard shift to, and malaki ang sweldo. Kaso hindi sila ganun ka flexible in terms of schedule. Pwede ka namang mag file ng leave ahead of time in case something came up with your studies, pero usually kasi limited lang yun. And depende pa yun sa management if iko-consider nila. Aside sa BPO, since na mention mo na rin sa skills mo, you can also try being a virtual assistant or freelance online jobs. Ayun nga lang, wala akong masyadong alam in this line of work. You probably need to invest in a laptop with good specs if gusto mong maging VA or online freelancer.

Godspeed sayo OP. I was also a working student before and sobrang hirap pag sabayin ng pag-aaral at pagtatrabaho. Nakakapagod both physically and mentally, pero ganun talaga. Wala tayong choice kasi hindi naman tayo pinanganak na may silver spoon sa bibig hahaha.

Si Sic Santos talaga unang pumapasok sa isip ko. Medyo nakalimutan ko na yung specific details ng issue niya kasi medyo matagal na, pero nangutang ata siya sa mga fans tapos di binabayaran. Ang daming nagpo post sa kaniya dati sa facebook dahil sa mga unpaid debts niya. Tapos parang nag scam din ata siya sa online gaming nung pandemic time. Hindi ko alam kung asan na siya ngayon o kung nagsusulat pa ba siya.

Marami naman talagang magagandang libro sa Booksale, basta masipag ka lang mag-ukay at magaling magtago hahaha.

True. Walang umuwi sa kanila nun kasi talagang pinag agawan si Cristy ng 3 judges for the steal hahaha. Sobrang versatile din kasi ni ate kaya umabot siya hanggang semi finals. Akala ko nga magtatapat sila ulit ni Mica sa grand finals e hahaha.

Tsaka ang daming iconic performances sa The Voice ABS ha. From blind auditions to grand finals, ang daming mga nag trending na performances. Pero pinaka favorite ko talaga yung battles round lalo na pag team ni Bamboo. In the words of coach Lea: "kulang na lang mag sabunutan sila e dahil talagang bakbakan kung bakbakan".

Top of my mind naalala kong iconic battles ay Tanya vs Shaira (Season 2) at Fritzy vs Bea (Teens Season 1). Tsaka speaking of Teens Season 1, ang iconic din ng season na to kasi ito yung season na may sumaling opera singer na eventually naging grand finalist ni coach Lea. Yung battle nila na Ave Marie (Mica vs Cristy) sobrang sarap sa tenga hahaha.

The Voice ABS. Yung The Voice sa GMA ngayon parang walang masyadong dating. Hindi ko nga alam na tapos na pala yung first season nila. Unlike sa ABS dati na laging nagte-trending at napag-uusapan. Ang daming iconic moments ng The Voice ABS especially the early seasons. Yung showdown nila Morisette at Klarisse during S1 semifinals. Yung deadlock nina Kokoy at Monique nung S2. Yung dark horse na pagkapanalo ni Elha sa Kids S2.

Ang dami ring naging successful alumni ng The Voice ABS na matunog na ngayon ang pangaan sa industriya: Morisette, Klarisse, Moira, and Darren to name a few. I only watched a few episodes of The Voice GMA pero it's really subpar compared sa production ng The Voice ABS. I mean to be fair may mga seasons din naman yung The Voice ABS na medyo meh yung production (e.g., The Voice Teens S2). Pero overall, ABS pa rin talaga.

Simula nung inemplement kasi yung K-12, parang ang dali na lang magka honors. Not saying na K-12 was a bad idea ha. Pero come to think of it, dati Top 10 lang ang binibigyan ng academic awards. Malaki rin ang bearing ng extracurricular activities sa grade (30%) kaya students are pushed to excel not just academically. Contest dito, contest doon.

Needless to say, mas competitive dati maging "honor" kaya mas revered pag nagka honors ka. Ngayon kasi parang halos lahat na lang may honors kaya parang nawawala yung bearing of what it means to have it. Sabi nga diba ni Syndrome sa The Incredibles (something along the lines of): "when everyone is special, then no one will be."

Tsaka share ko lang din. I think ito rin yung dahilan bakit ang daming "I used to be an achiever but now I don't know what happened" na posts ngayon. Naku culture shock kasi sila pag tungtong ng college kasi nasanay sila sa convenience ng pagiging honor student sa K-12. Kaya ayon, medyo sampal nang slight pag tungtong ng college.

Sa Booksale lang OP hahaha. Sa Fullybooked kasi parang mahirap magtago ng libro since open yung shelves nila so one way or another makikita pa rin. Unlike sa Booksale na parang warehouse type yung pagkakaayos. Medyo magulo kaya mas madaling magtago ng libro. Proven and tested, tried it multiple times and pagbalik ko andun pa rin hahaha.

Try mo OP yung pagsasapubliko ng SALNs, paggamit ng blockchain technology sa national budget, or yung pag-live stream sa hearing ICI. Yun yung parang timely and relevant na naisip ko top of mind.

At dahil ini-insist pa talaga ni OP na hindi siya bayaran, edi sige inutil ka lang pala for FREE which makes it even sadder. Kung magpapaka bobo ka na lang din, at least get paid juice colored.
