Unreasonable Job Requirements

hi, Call center is the only industry that doesn't require high educational attainment or school preferences. Have you ever tried applying to any call center company? You just need to be good with English,accent,pronunciation ,grammar and you're in. Unlike with the other companies that yes,school preferences...needs to be a LA SALLELITE or San Beda,Poveda whatever I.S school ? huh?.. One more funny thing with companies here in our country is Job hiring: Graduate of 4 years course At least 23-28 years old 3 years experience What the h*ck...why look for those qualification,3 years experience for an almost newly graduate. And,why age limit too,they think older people can not do same work as young people can do? it's an office work then dude (cr*p) The job hiring process and qualification here in our country is really one of the worst in the world (can't think of a any better word to say ) Have a great weekend though :=))

I do not see and understand the point either. YOu are precisely right. I have been into recruitment agency before and am very much aware of those schemes that these company require for their applicants. Actually, there are many jobs available here, but due to high standard of job requirements, many are failing. As for me personally, there are people and there are too many of them who are good in application. What is the use of academic qualification when it comes to poor application? It is useless, right? I remember this company which I applied for the position as "Legal Officer". In their qualification, I have met all the requirements and perhaps even over qualified. I was called for an examination. Take note, examination and not an interview. What is the relevance of the exam? When I was at the employer's office, they asked me to have an exam. The exam had 5 categories: General, abstract, Mathematics, reading comprehension and completing phrases. What the heck is that. Each category is 1 -100 items and I need to finish it in 30 minutes. I already knew that I cannot finish all, so what I did is finish at least half of each category and try to go over it when I still get time. Unfortunately, I had no time to go over it because I did not finish it. When I passed my answer sheets, the HR manager said that they will just call me when the papers has been checked. Darn! I was disappointed because I really cannot figure out the relevance of said exam to my abilities. They never called me up. It was really a disappointing experience on my part because that was an unreasonable rejection.

Wow that is really crazy to think that a janitorial position is required to have a college education. No one college educated wants to do janitoral work. If you go to college you want a higher paying classier job. They need to give the janitor position to people who arent college educated but really need jobs.

A college degree for a Janitor? seriously that sounds absurd. Does it mean that schools will be offering Bachelor of Science in janitorial service? or would be a Bachelor of Arts in Janitorial Services? I think there's a typo error made somewhere, but give the unemployment rate in this country I'm not going to wonder if a lot of college graduates will still line up for an interview to land that job. On the other hand, I don't think it's hard to get into the call center industry, since all you need after all is good english and some basic computer skills and you're good as hired.

I is so frustrating that only graduates from La Salle, Ateneo, UA&P, UP and other top ranked schools landed a good job and payed high. The only solution for those who want to get a job is to apply to call center industries. But call centers are getting strict right now. I applied to some and got rejected, because they are now looking for graduate of a 4 year course. I stopped from school and reached 4th year college at UST. They even discriminate school eg. UST and schools from the provinces. HSBC Alabang called and did an interview, before we end the call she asked me if I have my college degree and I honestly said I don't but I reached 4th year college with some un-enrolled subjects. She Immediately ended the call and said thank you. Considering that the position that I applied is an agent. I experienced numerous failure in job hunting, right now I am unemployed and would like to start my own enterprise. Are they threatened and overwhelmed with my resume? Now that the president of the country is pro foreigners and pro call centers (in the recent visit to the US he invited call center companies to outsource in the Philippines) what's next in the Philippines and its people? Are going to be employee (by foreigners) in our own country? Government should act on this matter if he want to make poverty a history.

Yeah, I totally agree.. someone has to take a look at how human resource gets employees.. Why put an age limit to job qualifications? Isn't that discriminatory? I think those over 25 have for more experience than newly graduates and can therefore contribute more to the work place. Another thing is that companies requires too many qualifications, why don't they just train potential hires? Come on, be considerate.. There are a lot of jobs actually, they're just not filled. Sad...
