Union Bank and Lamoiyan

A lot of things happened to me during the week.

On the job hunting front, you already know that I took an exam with Accenture last Tuesday. Last Wednesday, I went to UnionBank Plaza to take an exam and a scheduled interview. However, the Unit Head of the Talent Acquisition Unit was, supposedly, busy to accomodate us for an interview. I ended up just taking the exam and with a reminder to call later to schedule an interview with her. Which reminds me na I haven't called pa pala. Hehe!

One thing that made me smile this week was Lamoiyan Corporation. The company is a privately-held corporation that manufactures consumer goods. One of its main products is Happee toothpaste.

Anyway, they informed me that they are looking for a Production Officer and is interested in interviewing me for the position. I scheduled them for Thursday morning. However, because I was so tired the past few days due to the demands of the MBA Finals Week and the employment exams that I had to go to, I woke up late. Darn!

Anyway, I called the company's HR Department and, thankfully, I was rescheduled on Monday.

Wish me luck!

Accenture

I have an exam at Accenture today at 7:45am.

Question: What's the extra 15mins for? Why not say that the exam is at 8am? Is it not easier to say that?

Anyway, even though it's that early, I'm still up writing this post at 4:13am. Aaargh!

What the hell is wrong with me? I'll give two months of my expected salary to any one who can answer this question and convince me that it's the right reason. Seriously.

First Exam/Job Interview

Today, I'm going to have an exam and an interview at Union Bank of the Philippines. I was scheduled to take the exam at 8:30am.

I am really excited about this because this is the first exam/interview that I am going to be attending. I was previously invited by some companies but I don't like those so I didn't show up for my appointments.

Call me choosy but I really don't like working in a call center company.

Don't get me wrong. The pay there is good. The benefits are ok. What I don't like is the fact that I'll have to work at night while everyone is comfy in their beds and sleep while everyone's up and about. I'll definitely feel like the world is passing by around me unnoticed.

Also, this is due to my lack of experience in this industry, I feel that a call-center career is a dead end job. I mean, I can't imagine myself 30 years from now working as a call center agent.

Don't tell me that you're only taking it because it provides you with work while waiting for the job that you want. A stepping stone? I don't think so.

Anyway, I'm so excited I can't sleep...
