After graduation i had my 2 jobs in the past though it's not my super duper dream job but am enjoying it :) i didn't last for years for some circumstances and now i landed here in a BPO/Call Center Company- Admin shared, as a Sup and am here for almost 3 years now and still counting? LOL..yes still counting hehe
the pose is not really for me it's so easy (really :D) boring and i encountered different rude attitudes LOL (but am enjoying it now haha- this is not my dream job, i'm hoping and wondering if there is for some :D) i know you'll ask why did i accept it? this part is i love about my work- it's located in one of the big networks or channels in the Philippines- ABS CBN :D i've seen lots of local celebrities LOL (and assuming am part of them haha kidding), good salary/well compensated, benefits, near from my hubby's place (transpo fee free-he used to send and fetched me from work *wink*), free food (from our pantry), i get along well with my co-workers (they're so nice and friendly) and last (But there's more to mention hihi) my boss haha.
i just love being here, blessed and thanking the Lord for having all His plans to me :D
i know we have our own different stories on how we landed to our workplace and if we're enjoying or not(is there anyone LOL) it's for you to tell :)
thanks in advance! :)

I've been wanting to get Sam Milby's autograph so perhaps you can do me a little favor. LOL
As for me, as a nurse, you barely get anything decent here. Aside from the fact that we are really not highly compensated, there's too many of us so that only a few ever lands in a job with pay. Most fresh grads I know are working as volunteers in hospitals.
I used to land in a teaching job in a caregiver school, I could earn 11,000 a month if I was lucky to handle a module.
At present I'm working in a review center for 5,000 a month so it's pretty tough going around with that amount alone.
The good thing about it is free internet. That's how I get to mylot.

really? i haven't seen him yet in the vicinity, don't worry i will LOL hehe
yes in our country that's one of the problems especially those working as a volunteer, my parents are both in the medical field and they know how it feels though they are not experiencing it but the people around them who just starting on how to deal with our real world-
anyways just be patient and positive ;) time will come you will receive good thing in return ;)
thanks for sharing!;)

Well, I work for a videogame company and am part of the web team which handles tech and customer support.
I like my job because it's easy, I have the freedom of working from home. I get some cool benefits like free games sent out to me sometimes, and all my co-workers, even those who are above me are very friendly and easy to get on with.
The only thing I don't like about my job is the pay lol. But I can't really complain about that considering all of the benefits.

yeah benefits will be one of the keys/causes that's why we stay long in a company (i depend in this one too :) we have our medicard and when i was hospitalized my bill was Php15,000 or $320+ Private Hospital, VIP Room and for 3 days only and guess what i just pay Php 200 or $5 for my medical kit.*happy* :D)
it's really nice to have benefits like this and reason why i should stay longer to my company LOL :D
thanks for sharing!:)
happy myLotting!;)

Honestly, I don't really like my current job. Considering it menial work with mediocre salary. Our boss is a nice person though. But he has this weak thing for pretty women. Due to the current economic circumstance, I have to stay there.

Hi friend, I was also from a call center in Alabang but only for a couple of months. I did fairly well and what I liked about the job is that you can sound smiling eventhough you feel like you could wring the neck of your customer on the other line (lol happened to me a couple of times), and yes, good compensation. What made me quit is that I don't like being away from my baby most of the time and when I'm home all I can do is sleep. I even slept on his 2nd birthday because I had to work overtime on that day which made my heart cry.
