The Moving On To Adulthood Chronicles 01
by baboysai at 02:02 PM .

The Moving On To Adulthood Chronicles.  MOTAC.  Hahaha sorry I couldn't help but laugh.  What a stupid acronym.

I actually tried job hunting today, via the internet.  Wow, the internet is amazing.  Yeah, you just had to know that too because reading this blog, I don't think you came to realize that.  

There are a lot of jobs out there, and a lot of them specifying "Male".  What the hell does that have to do with anything?  But well, I'm not in the mood to talk about gender inequality, especially since I just celebrated Mother's day with my family last night.  

(On that note though, one of my uncles made a speech about God making the women more beautiful than men so they'd be cherished, etc.  And I knew he meant well but having done a thesis totally related to that I had a lot of things going on in my head and caused me to stay quiet the whole evening lest I shock the children)

FYI, the job I'm looking for is nothing of specific nature.  It just needs to fit with my schedule when I'll be studying again in November, so it's preferably part-time.  Oh and it has to be something I'm capable of doing, in case that isn't one of the usual criteria. -_-

Considering I'm a fresh BS Architecture graduate, I went for the Engineering/Archi related ones first.  I wasn't sure if they were looking for part-timers with their job descriptions but the phrase "can work overtime" was a common one.  Well, it is kind of expected in this field.

CAD operators were quite a hit too.  But again the phrase just turns me off.  And didn't I mention some posts back that I'd scratch my eyes out the next time I do something on CAD again?  Especially if they ask me to "work overtime".  I know what that phrase means.  

My friend Enriqueh actually struck the gold mine when I got news of the work he got into.  His job was something like writing the concept papers and critique for the designs of the __________ firm. Not the best firm but that's one helluva kick-ass job if you ask me!  I'm salivating with jealousy.  Well, not really.  Just a teeny bit, like, 2% of my consciousness.

I found a similar job description though.  It says:

WRITER

*Full-time for Web
*Proficient in the English Language
*Knowledgeable in editing tools and concepts
*Efficient in Web applications and Microsoft Office

(Email resume and two written samples) 

Let's see.  Proficient in English, check.  Knowledgeable in editing tools, check.  Efficient in Web applications, check.  Just.. what is Microsoft Office again?  I'm sure someone explained that to me before but, hmm, I keep forgetting.  Is that the expensive simian application owned by Bill Gates? 

I don't know what Full-time for Web means.  If it means 6 hours minimum on the internet, then maybe I'm up for that. >.>  

 


 

Wait, I think I remember my mom telling me to get an architectural job.

dear banuk and isoscetin. Thank you for the advice. hehe.

Apparently my mom doesn't think I should be there in Cebu to personally walk-in and hand them my resume and stuff. Sabi nya, email galore lang daw ako and she wants me to stay here in Bukidnon until someone calls for an interview. -_- I guess kasi ayaw na nya ako bigyan ng allowance. Haynaken.

i think i've been to all the sites where there are jobpostings online. it's really a good place to start your jobhunting. but other companies prefer walk-ins and hard copies of your resume. you can also try going to jobfairs. :D also, i think the best way to find a good job and a good company is through someone you personally know who can give positive feedback about their job and the company. a job description on the internet won't really suffice. they just make it sound good.. and of course they won't tell you how their company is doing and the relationship of the management and their employees. it's for you to find out once you're inside.. and too late for other job offers that you let go. ayun lang.. hehe. :D
wish you luck, ot! you deserve the best! (charing, artista ka? hehe)

good luck sa job hunting! marami din talaga akong nakikitang job offers related to writing, meron nga work from home pero parang ganun din yun, buong araw ka din nakatutok sa harap ng computer sa pagreresearch at pagsusulat.
