♥♥♥ Interviewing HR Personnel ♥♥♥

Last Wednesday, September 24, me and my group mates had interviewed one of the personnel in the HR department of City Hall and She is Mrs. Florita L. Oligario, their HRMO3 (human resource management officer 3). And we’re so glad that they still allowed us to have an interview even though we didn’t have any letter for approval. And with that, we have a good interview with her. We interviewed about her concept on the nature, scope and the role of HR. And we have gained much information from her.

According to her, actually before, their HR was only called as the Personnel Management and it has only limited to hiring, recruitment and preparation of documents and appointments. But now, it was evolved and became the HRM and development because they firmly believed that the men of HR can be developed and their functions can be expanded. That's why, they are not now only limited on recruitment but they are now limited on the personnel benefits and welfare, personnel selection and transaction, personnel planning and management, and human resource development which provide career function to employees for competency enhancement.

Likewise, the good thing to them is that they have good benefits and incentives that are given for the employees for their exemplary achievement in the company. Like for example the travel package with a P300/employee and the salo-salo package with a P100/employee for them to unwine the employees from the stressful works that they have. And also when an employee meets the highest performance rate of the company every six months or in the 2 succeeding semester, they are given an incentive that has an amount of P2000. bounce But if an employee failed his work within 6 months, he is possible to be dropped from the rules or in the other term, he is fired. Crying or Very sad

In addition, according from Maam Florita in their recruitment she emphasized that "it’s not whom you know but how you possess your ability in work" which is very good for me, because its just shows that they are fair in hiring an employee and not just because they relatives or friends. Moreover, I had also asked her if her expectations of the company was met when she was already working there because I am just curious about it and she answered, "Yes, its more than enough of my expectations. I am developed and the job was fulfilling even though it is stressful and I've worked beyond office hours". And also she said that, though other people saying that the employees of City Hall are not good, for her she is proudly saying that "We are excellent!" cheers because people don't know what's true behind their work, and how difficult but important it is. They really motivate their employees and orient them on how to deal good with their clients. In short, their role is taking good care of the needs of the employees as well as the needs of the clients.

Therefore, for me, I am really admired them as well as their work because I know, working in the HR department was so difficult and complicated but they still cope this thing. And I also agree with her concepts that she have about their HR because it can also be seen to them like on how they treat and entertain us as their clients. In a nutshell, they are very good and very excellent as what she said.

Journal #9:♥♥♥ Gantt Chart Making ♥♥♥

For about 2 days, we’ve made our Gantt chart. Specifically, we started it on the afternoon ‘til 10pm of Sept. 3 and we finalized it on the afternoon of Sept. 4.You know, making a gantt chart was easy but the difficult there was creating a tasks and of course, adjusting the dates for our tasks that we will gonna do to fit on the given deadline. After that, we passed it already.
And on Sept. 5, our gantt chart was checked and approved by Sir Gamboa, so we posted it already to the faculty.

that's all....Thanks God, we’ve finally done it!

Journal #8: ♥♥♥ Forum at Sanggunian ♥♥♥

That day, we attended the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) HR and Recruitment forum at the Sanggunian Panlungsod in front of San Pedro Church. That forum was just like an orientation in every call center but I have learned so much from it. For me, it is so good because it’s very informative and interesting. Actually, we are just few who attended there, and I think we are only the one who knew about that, that’s why.

Furthermore, the one that amazed me there was when the time we have our speaker who is a visually impaired. Actually, at first I was thought that he could see us because it’s not obvious that he is like that and I only realized it when Mrs. Wit told us about him. So amazing talaga! specially when I knew that he was already a graduate of medical transcription ‘coz I knew how difficult to be a transcriptionist is, but he could actually can do it in spite of his situation. He is really an inspiration specially to those differently-abled person.

After him, there’s another speakers who oriented us. They are Ms. Karol Dayo from E-telecare and Ms. Laurence from SUREcruit and they are so good especially in speaking English, no wonder they’re from a call center. hehe… the best jud sila, so nosebleed, halos mapanganga ako habang nakikinig sa kanila!haha…

The things that I’ve learned from them for during a job interviews, are:
1. Make a handshake with the interviewer before and after the interview.
2. Be confident.
3. Don’t forget to greet them.
4. When they ask about yourself, just make a summary on the information that you have wrote on the resume.
5. Make sure that you will tell your skills that are connected to what was your applying for.
6. And have an eye to eye contact.

And for the call center:
1. You must be master on the keyboard.
2. You must have a perseverance and patience.
3. You must be alert.
4. There is no age limit.
5. In E-telecare, they don’t hire part-time students; if possible it should be a graduate.
6. And of course, should have good skills in communication.

In addition, Ms. Karol gave us also a tip on how to develop in speaking in English such as:
1. Practice speaking English.
2. Read usually english books like pocketbooks or any informative books.
3. Watch usually english movies, shows or could be cartoons (kaya forget mo na muna daw yung panonood ng mga teleserye.hehe…)

After that seminar, we went to the booths that they have in Sanggunian and we’ve tried in the simulation that given by the MTC academy and I have proved that it’s so hard talaga maging transcriptionist, grabeh nakakalito! But we have enjoyed on it.

Thanks for that experienced hehe….and thanks to the good speakers and lastly but not the least, thanks to Sir Gamboa for bringing us there.

Journal #7: ♥♥♥ Our Acquaintance! ♥♥♥



On August 4…


That was the night that we have our acquaintance party. The events are the Mr. and Ms. Fashionista, the Musical contest & etc. Likewise, the only thing that brought us to enjoy the party was that because of our 2 hosts, Mike Nochefranca and Hannacris Camillo who are so good and entertaining.

Journal #6:♥♥♥Learnings and Evaluations on HRM♥♥♥

At first, I have no idea what is all about in HRM, I am confused on what we are gonna do in the real industry like what our Sir keep on saying and what we are gonna learned from it. But now, it is clear to me and I am thankful to have like that way of learning. By bringing us into the real industry, we have learned more, than just having a class discussion in our school.

One thing that I have realized while looking for an adopted company is that it is not easy but rather it is so difficult to have. It is just like you’re an employee whose looking for a job and will naturally encountered to be accepted or the hard thing is to be rejected. Yes, on our part, we had also experienced to be rejected but in a good manner unlike to the other group who shared to us that they are not just rejected but also have insulted and they really disappointed about it and angry. And I felt with them though we’re not companion because it’s not right to treat them like that. And because I have experienced also how hard this activity is. But in a lighter side, I have also realized that because of this activity, I have gained more bonding time with my constituents right now which before we didn’t used to do. And because of that, now we were not just classmates at all but we were already close friends.

And for this subject, I can only say that it is difficult but fun, so interesting but complicated, but the important is I have learned many things especially in industry because of this. It is also good and I’m happy because through this subject, I can now experience blogging and I have now already my personal blog which I was curious before of what it is. And it’s the same to our web forum for our assignments or any updates which I didn’t used to do before.

And for our professor, Mr. Randy Gamboa, I just want to thank him though pinahihirapan niya kami…hehe and until now, hindi pa tapos but instead it’s the start again but by this time it’s for our major paper...huhu, I know it’s for our own sake naman..peace sir! I just hope we can make it… Actually, my first impression to him was so nakakatakot because of what I have heard from the higher years about him. But now I have realized that ok naman pala siya, he has a sense of humor, he is approachable and the good thing is, he is really a God-fearing. Mahirap lang talaga siyang magbigay ng mga projects at assignments. Super ka talaga sir sa lahat ng bagay, as what you are saying… hehe…☺

Journal #5: ♥♥♥ This is the moment…this is it! ♥♥♥

August 2 was the day that we have already presented our assigned topic to the class. Honestly, I have felt anxious at that time, and it’s natural to me every time I used to report in front of the class into the extent that sometimes I can’t perform it well. But thanks to GOD in the end I have cope it up. I had explained to them what should I explain and I had also connected it to our adopted company for them to understand well too. On the other hand, in the middle of the class, we have our break to have some snacks that prepared by our classmates that are sanctioned because of the committed late or absent during our last classes…hehe actually I am one of them, but just because I have been late for once, that’s all..hehe… not bad!

Actually, that day was also our last meeting of the class in HRM, that’s why we held it on Saturday. But our assignments and of course, our major paper is still on going through web forum, blogging and consultation with Sir Gamboa.

By the way, to see our presentation of our report, just click on the written below:

Journal #4: ♥♥♥ Interviewing Portion…char! ♥♥♥


On July 15…

We were so nosebleed that day….hehe because that day, we had our interview to the secretary of the HRD of JIB call center. From the word call center, it’s all about English speaking. But fortunately, the secretary was not strict because she allowed us to speak in visayan or tagalog language as well, so it’s not difficult to us to interview her. And at the middle of our interview, their HR Director came, so we finished our interview with her. But unfortunately, some of our questions to her were not answered because there are some that she didn’t know about it and only their IT specialist knows. In short, we’re not satisfied about the information that we have gained from them. That’s why we have decided to go to our next choice which is in the City hall.

On July 23…

That is the day that we conducted our interview in the HR of City hall. For me, we are so lucky because we had interviewed their IT specialist mismo! Which really fit to what was our topic all about, “The Creating of HRIS” in which only IT would do it. By the way, he is Mr. Bobet Dacilla, and we have learned a lot from him. From the importance of HRIS to the processes of how they
did it, and so on & so forth…



Thanks to them for allowing us to interview…and thanks to GOD that we made it.
“We made it, we made it, we made it, yeahhh!!!” hehehe☺

We have finalized our letter that day through signed by our instructor, our dean and our OSS director.


On June 30…
We presented our letter to the JIB call center and they told us to just wait for their call.

Journal #2: ♥♥♥ Walked for a mile... ♥♥♥

On June 26…

That day was so tiring but fun. That was the time that we’re looking for a company that will allow us to conduct a study to their HR and my companions are Jeanette and Kathy. In this activity, we’ve experienced many things, we’ve walked for a mile, we’ve been gone so many places, we’ve made our faces thicker and we’ve made our feet so tired, buti nalang we’re wearing a flat shoes. It’s started from USEP to Victoria, then to SITEL call center, to the company beside Landco (sorry but I forgot the name!), and then to the banks in front of CONPINCO, down to the Fairlanes then to the JIB call center, back to the central bank, then to JS Gaisano mall, and walk again to San Pedro St. which we have many companies that we’ve been through, and then to the park in front of San Pedro Church to have some rest.

And we didn’t end up to that. Oh my God! To do effort nato!...and while we are on our way, we we’re just keep on saying that, “kaya natin to, go go go…AJA!” hehe (that was the strong spirit of our group, just like no retreat no surrender, char!).

Back on our way, we go next to the Claveria St. ‘til Ateneo, nagbabasakali lang na mayron pang makitang pwede. hehe…And all of that was just looking for a company to have study for.”Grabeh noh!” And after that, when I went home, I just changed my clothes and already go to bed because of tiredness, and never mind if I’m hungry or not, just wanna take a sleep. And also from all of that, only 2 companies/organizations approved us and these are the JIB call center and the City hall. By the way, about the City hall, my other constituents, Venus and Ilyn who are the one who approached their HRD to allow us to conduct a study.

Thanks to God because we’ve finally did it!

Journal #1: ♥♥♥ Oh a Letter! ♥♥♥

On June 23…

That day, we supposedly went to our English teacher, Mr. Mendoza to consult our authorization letter but unfortunately he’s not around because he was already transferred to the other school, so we preferred to another teacher whose Mrs. Bacquial though we’re not been under on her ever since. We chose her because of what they said about her that she’s really a good english teacher. In connection with, by that time we are so shy at nag- aalangan kasi hindi niya kami kilala. And also my constituents had a doubt if she’s really the teacher we mean because of her physical change cause by her pregnancy at that time. But still we go on, and approached her to consult our letter. And she told us, “Mga baga jud mo ug nawong noh, hindi ko kayo kilala!” but in a joke way, though it’s true…hehehe it’s ok and we know it. The important is we have now our letter. And in the end, she’d worked it still.

Thanks Ma’am Bacquial!
