Jobsearch 1001
About two weeks ago, I went to this call center in Ortigas, somewhere along Emerald Avenue, and I took a shot in applying for an HR position, The HR manager politely informed me that the position has already been filled and the only job he can offer me was a CSR position, and I said " I went to this other call center and the HR oficer who interviewed me told me that I can't be considered for an HR position because I lack experience aside from the fact that I'm not a Psychology graduate, and I've been thinking if I settle for another CSR position how am I gonna get the experience that I need?" He smiled and said "Once you get in ( meaning If I can qualify for CSR) , I'm gonna try to absorb you in the HR department, what do you think?" I said "Fair enough"
So I took their exam and passed, and they told us to report the next day for our final interview.
The day after, I received a message from him (The HR manager) which said:
"Hi u have
interview
tonight dont
forget it k! Do u
like to go out lets
have fun this is
- - - - hr tele----
My mom and I had a fight about going to that interview so I just weaved an alibi and asked for a reschedule to which he replied:
"Ok no problem
labas tayo ha
dito ka tulog sa
house k
What the f*ck?!?! I freaked out, Newsflash! This HR manager I'm talking about is a member of the male species. In short, he's a man in all its likelihood...
and he's gay! I should've known.
Anyway, I didn't send a reply anymore, but in some ways I even thought I over reacted, like maybe he was just bein' friendly so I just ignored his message and went on with my jobsearch.
I thought I'd never hear from him again until yesterday.
His message was:
"Hi we have 1slot
for recruitment
assistant like 2
aply text me wil
sched u 4
interview k _ _ _ _
tele- - - -
I got excited, now there's a slot for the position that I want so I immediately replied and asked for an interview this week, But when I got his reply, my excitement quickly turned into astonishment:
Ok sched u but
slip ka house ko
ha! Ok ba? Deal!
and he followed it with: " So are you game?"
I got really pissed off but I was hoping I could talk some sense on him, maybe there was still decency left in him so I told him that if we could just do things the right way like 2 professional people I'd be up for the interview, I told him to just look on my credentials and maybe he'll see that I'm fit for the job to which he replied:
"Ok pero kung
dito ka tulog eh
90 percent ikaw
kunin ko"
That was it, end of conversation.
Freaky, scary, gross. All in its superlative degree. That's how it felt.
Mr. HR manager, back in the interview, when I said that I'm dying for an HR post, it was a figure of speech dumbass! it means that I'll give my best and that I'll work my ass off, I didn't say I'll give my body for it and that you can work on my ass!
I'm desperate for a job all right, but that is not my idea of getting one.
The harsh realities of life are clearly coming to me now, Some people would unconscientiously take advantage over a person's misfortunes. I mean it's unfortunate enough that I'm a bum for 2 years, but to take a shot on my dignity is another thing.
This is so uncharacteristic of a professional, to think that he's a manager who's supposed to be a man of integrity, and who's supposed to look into people and seek for the same good traits.
So there goes my futile search for a job. I'd like to ask you fellow bloggers for your thoughts about this, I'm planning on doing some thing about this, I mean who knows if I'm the only one? I could use your comments on this...
There's one good thing about this though,
I just realized, "May dating pala ako" :)
