After I graduated and took the board exam, I was really thinking of what I'm going to do after those things are done. Am I suppose to look for work? What type of work? Where? All this questions kept puzzling me after the board exam. Of course since I graduated as a Nurse I should work as one, but since there is a splurge of Filipino Nurses graduating and passing the NLE, how will I be able to find a decent job fit for my credentials? T'was hella tough, I had to think of other options and what I came up with was to work for a call center. Working as an employee for a call center is like joining the bandwagon as they say. It's like Filipinos last resort if you can't find a job which matches your bachelor's degree. Oh well, let's go back to my story so as I was saying it took me a 2 weeks after the board examination to try out for a call center. One of my friends got hired at this very prestigious BPO company located at Quezon City, he told me it was easy to apply and get hired. He coached me on the do's and don'ts on the interview and then somebody from the company called me up. I started freaking out because it happened so fast the next thing I knew, I had to go to their site and get interviewed the day after I got called.
Breath in breath out.. as I was telling myself "You can do this! If they can why can't you!?" I was a bit late for the interview but it was okay. I was even praying I'll have someone with me so that I won't get so nervous. While waiting to be called, someone unexpected came it. It was Jundelle! By the way he is one of our batch's Cum Laude. I smirked and asked him why was he applying at the company. He smiled and handed his resume to the receptionist. He sat down beside me and shakingly said, "Wag ka maingay ah, nagapply na ko dito 2 weeks ago." I laughed and told him that he is not yet allowed to apply after a month.
And so we got called.. I was interviewed along side with a newly graduated Cum Laude of our batch, a call center veteran from NCO, and an ex OFW. I thought I sounded stupid throughout the interview, I did not talk a lot I had limited answers and already had a feeling that I will not pass, knowing that I had one of our Cum Laude's competing for the same position. Time for the evaluation so we had to wait at the reception area for our destiny. We were given papers which will say whether we passed or failed. I didn't look at mine yet because I was a bit petrified that maybe I failed. Sheesh.. Our Cum Laude failed! I was thinking WTH! He failed, so what's the sense of reading what's on my paper. :l But then of course, I had to take a look at it myself and to my surprise.... I PASSED!
I miss working in Convergys.
I really do..
it's just that when I think about how much I will suffer from all the scolding
