Ceasefire on Jobhunting

I know I have mentioned that I got a new job, but you might wonder why "ceasefire" when I should be actually surrendering on the jobhunt program I set for myself at the start of the year.

I got a job for a multi-national company here in the Philippines. In a way, it touches a part of my dream job. At least, I could now be working for a multi-national company despite the fact that I am under an agency. Nonetheless, I could not really convince myself to give up on looking for a job, because, to be honest, I don't know if I would knock myself with the job. It's hardly marketing. It's just related to marketing. That's why I could not really see myself enjoying. Of course, it's too early to say such judgments. Let's just wait and see. I'll be starting on Monday and as early as now, I could already feel the my physiological response to adjustment period. I have lost some appetite. And I feel okay even when I didn't eat much. I had that on my first week of my first job. And I can still remember how I have let those meatballs remained on my plate almost untouched.

Asensadong Pilipinas

Would you believe it? Well, not in all aspect that the Philippines is progressing, but I should say that I enjoyed applying for an NBI clearance this morning.

It's not my first time to apply for an NBI clearance that's why I could come up with such post to compare my experiences. The first time I went for an NBI clearance was February last year. I was still unemployed by that time and was eager to work so I tried to prep up even before I could land on a job. It took almost a whole day for me to finish processing the application. Three to four hours of it were spent waiting. And sweating. I applied, by the way, in our province. Needless to say, it was not a comfortable place to be in for almost one whole day.

This time, even when I spent few days in our province, I didn't bother to apply for a new NBI for my new job (I got a new job, btw.. After more than a week of resigning, I was able to land on a job right away. I am so thankful that the risk I took was all worth-it!). I thought to apply in Victory Mall in Caloocan instead. Its' new. And it's airconditioned! And it turned out to be a really nice experience. No long waits. And I just spent less than an hour to finish my application! And what's more, they enumerated detailed instructions on how to apply for a clearance, which was totally not visible in the office in our province.

Loveeet!
