R-day


Tomorrow's it.


I wonder how will they react once I finally hand them my RL. Will they be surprised/shocked/outraged? I am excited to know. Jay hasn't given me the copy of my approved VL for next week. Should remind him about it again later tonight or tomorrow when he arrives, lest he might forgot to give it to me and turn things around once he finds out about it. I guess Jay will be saddened by this surprise. I can feel that it's a little off-timing given that we are starting to move to full blast. But, resignation is every employee's right. Consult the Labor Code if you must, or your company handbook for that matter. One only had to follow the proper procedure specified in those books and off you go.


Yna's long-awaited opportunity is coming. Gotta prepare.

A step closer

I'm a step closer now to getting a job at PBSP. I don't want to preclude the possibility of it by saying that I am 100 % sure of getting the job there.

Anyway, let me share here what happened in the interview there today. I was invited for an interview today with the technical specialists of the TBLINC project of PBSP. It to take place in their office here in Manila. The schedule was at ten am today. Supposedly, Rafi was to go with me but he was not feeling well. So I went alone.

I had an interview with two doctors. I can only recall their first names which are Dr. Gani and Dr. Dennis. If they will take me, I will be under the supervision of Dr. Gani as a Technical Assistant. The two guys gave me the impression that they were nice. The interview went a little informal with me seemingly interviewing Dr. Gani first. I asked him questions about the project and the nature of work that I might have to do with them. Dr. Gani was much more reserved than Dr. Dennis. He asked less questions. I think there were less questions this time compared to the first interview that I had with Sir Enan. It is probably because there was more discussion about the specifics of the job rather than solely looking at my personality and my attitude towards work. That doesn't mean to say they didn't ask about that. Dr. Gani for instance asked for my career objective after I asked him about the objective of the project. Also, Dr. Dennis asked me if I have any apprehension for working with them knowing that the project is funded by the USAID, especially that I am a political science graduate. I would not write here what my answers to their questions were.

In all, I think the interview wasn't bad after all. I have a strong feeling that they are seriously considering me for the post. (fingers crossed.) In that case, I will soon be starting out on a new chapter in my working life very soon.
