Pinoy Big Brother? Just another effective marketing strategy.. 2007-11-23 14:57:23 Pinoy Big Brother
? Just another effective
marketing strategy..This article maybe late but still worth the read knowing that I been wanting to write this short article for months now but I could not find time to reflect on this topic since I’ve got backlogs to attend to. PBB has been a sensation to all of us since its first edition. Up until now you can still notice various articles related to PBB circulated by known bloggers in the country to date from critiques, rhetoric’s and personal opinions as to how PBB affects our lives.So what made PBB so successful when they first launched the program? Let me highlight to theories as to how we are glued to this hot program. Aside from being a “kapamilya” you might consider this opinion. Ambulance Effect. This has been highlighted by some behaviorist of our times that played a very vital role in marketing campaigns. Ambulance effect is when we already know that an accident or somehow related to it occured still Read more:Pinoy
News Flash : Careerclub Philippines goes offline.. 2007-11-22 21:06:58 Careerclub Philippines
goes offline.. I was trying to install a “com_map” for me to give Careerclub Philippines portal that needed site map for robots to look at it and I accidentally extracted it at my directory. Hayyyyyyyyyyyyy… I messed up my site. Worst I don’t know how to fix it. As you can see lines are pop’n before some buttons. You can see more of it at the “career section” hayyyyy.. I asked for support from the forum but to no avail. I just hope that someone good enough can help me fix this one. I’ve asked help from a guy who’s also an enthusiast of using this kind of CMS and he suggested me to reinstall and load my back up files but I guess I won’t be doing it coz maybe it’ll worsen the problem..I’m just to hesitant of doing it without an assurance of a real programmer. But anyway, I’ll still be checking the support forum hoping that someone is familiar with this problem.Moreover, function Read more:Flash

Careerclub Philippines weekend check up! 2007-11-28 16:41:02 Careerclub Philippines
weekend check up! Yes, we will be doing some debugging this weekend so expect a few problems while logging in but don’t you worry we’ll try not to hamper the user experience. Expect some slight changes and updates but I doubt if it’ll be noticeable. Things I’ll be doing this weekend: 1.) Fix the issue on Internet Explorer compatibility. Since internet explorer is having a hard time loading the site, I think I need to work on this one now. I’ll probably be doing some testing using my other sites on this one. As you can see I’m no programmer so I’ll really be having a hard time doing this alone. 2.) Update Keywords. It’s December thus, I’ll be trying new keywords for the month. I’ll be surfing around to known sites for the keywords. 3.) Scrap non-related affiliate programs. Let me see if my time can accommodate this one. Well anyway, I’m very much dependent with this kind of pr
I sell books.. Just another unemployed. 2007-11-28 13:50:47 I sell books.. Just another unemployed. I’m tired of selling books that’s why I quit. Uttered words by a stranger whom I once chat with the other night… I once strolled around Ayala and I felt hungry so I went to PansitPalabok stand and yes, just the kind of food I can afford aside from it’s my favorite. Anyway, I saw this guy alone trying to finish his stuffs so sensing that this guy needs a companion and someone to talk with I joined him. Well of course, guys can just blend any time any where but mind you I can’t blend with ladies that easily. How did I know that he needs a company by then? Well some HR is good at body language therefore, I can tell. Moreover, I’m not also discounting the fact that we’re a bit confident as compared to girls so we can just talk to anyone at anytime. I also validated that this guy wanted someone to talk with because he opened up first like where I’m presently connected since I’m wearing
Are you more capable than your boss? 2007-11-27 18:53:27 Are you more capable than your boss? Worst, you even wanted to acquire your superior’s post knowing that you’re more capable of him/her? If I’m not mistaken you’ve already belittled his/her competence in front of your friends during those times when you were drunk or perhaps backstabbed her that often once career related conversations erupted. This is so unethical and if possible please refrain this. You know what? Sometimes we think this way when our boss’s started to flood us with deliverables not found in our job description that to some extent he wants us to create reports beyond our imagination. Moreover, there were also some instances that you need to extend long hours just to provide him/her the report he/she needs that leads us to sacrifice our scheduled dates. Maturity and leadership has also been an issue to the extent that you don’t know were you’re department is heading. These are just the common outcry of a newly hired em
The HR Logic 2007-11-27 17:58:22 The HR Logic
… Because of the information overload that I’m experiencing right now coupled with the demands from my clients internal and external thus, I could not provide original contents as of to date. Honestly, I’m trying to draft one here but I guess my mind can’t process stuffs. Worst, felt a bit in hurry on some things I find irrelevant to my chosen profession. For the meantime let me share to you this famous Hr story. After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increase, no commendation and that the Company is not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR Manager his observation.

.. I’ve read these story months ago and for the second time around a colleague of mine forwarded me this story. Some of you might have read this story while others have not thus; I’m sharing this to you and as guaranteed you’ll never regret reading this story. It might be difficult for you to understand some of the words being used by the author but I just wanted to preserve the real essence of the story thus, I’m not providing any translation to it. I would rather suggest grabbing your friend who’s fluent in Cebuano language before reading this one or else you’ll miss the pain, the agony and tears. This is story is worth sharing. This story is worth pondering. This story is worth remembering. This story is worth recalling. These story is your attention. Lastly, I would like to give credit to the real author of this story who happens to be unknown since I could not trace the real source of this sto

MEMO: TO: ALL NEW EMPLOYEES/NEWBIES. 2007-12-07 02:13:29 MEMO
TO: ALL NEW EMPLOYEES/NEWBIE
’S.
FROM: HR Department
RE: FRIENDLY ADVICE FROM YOUR HR DEPARTMENT
Just a friendly reminder to all new employees/newbie’s
HR Department is friendly, but the perception of all of us in HR is evil thus; we are providing you some honest advice from the evil himself. Need to fire someone? HR can do that for you. Do you want to square-off with HR? Still, HR can do that for you. Mind you, our supervisor before asked me to square it off with him outside the company premises just to settle things. I’m no coward (t’was really scary you know) so I accepted his proposal but, I told him not until I’m done writing the incident report. So who’s the chicken now? Anyway, still interested of messing up with HR?
Reminders to all new employees/newbie’s:
1.) The company is not responsible for your motivation. The company can only provide maintainers thus; you should motivate yourself in advance since you brag it to us that you

Today, since I got nothing good to write (as always) let me just share to you this short ebook. This ebook is about the Five Simple Steps to Finding Your Dream Job fast published by Two Eleven New Media.
“How happy are you in the job you're in? Do you have a desire to do something else with your career? If so, you're not alone. You have plenty of company in wanting to change your goals and focus in life.
Maybe you've just turned 40 and realize that you're into the second half of a working career you never really liked. Studies have shown that working in a job because you have to, not because you like it, can have some effect on your life span. Why take years off your life when you don't have to?
The problem for most people in these situations is that they're not sure where to start. They've either been tossed into this situation unexpectedly and are trying to make decisions on the run or they know that they at least need to have a paycheck, s Read more:Discover
Your own Blog can raise your visibility to employers 2007-12-04 11:40:00 Your own Blog can raise
your visibility to employers
“Visit recruiter and company blogs to learn about employers and opportunities. And consider starting your own blog to raise your visibility to employers and help them get to know you.”
A few companies have started this initiative; in fact I’ve read a few CEO’s blog already. Blog and Social Networking Platform’s are new tools most frequented by Talents. In the blogosphere you’ll see a lot of diamonds in disguise of an ordinary rock. You can see their wits being written on this canvass called Blog’s waiting to be noticed and be read by guest. If it interests them, they subscribe and even aggregate it. Furthermore, in blogging, you’ll learn, earn a few friends, increase your visibility to employers and ultimately, earn a few dollars upon monetizing your traffic.
Currently, hiring managers does a little research on a job candidate online. A few clicks using various search engines can provid

Attack Targets Employers
Well, well, well.. What do we have here, a second attack to a job portal giant? This has been the latest news from Monsters.com which is a job board giant like CareerBuilder.com. Worst, this time, the attack was target to employers. So what does this imply? No one’s safe in the internet. Hackers are getting smarter everybody that they’ve come up with various stuffs just to penetrate to your security. From the last attack, hackers were able to steal more than a million user data’s.
Now, let us check with some of the leading job portals in the country to date. From JobStreet.com, JobsDB.com etc. are their security measures reliable if such attack occurs? Some of these portals are using collaborative software to clients’ corporate websites just to track applicants of which various HR experts wonder if these hackers will be using those contraption as their main gateway to corporate websites, then to corporate information&rsqu
2008 Demands Creative Minds 2007-12-17 02:40:53 2008 Demands Creative Minds
While I was trying to create some sample teasers for our up coming Christmas bash, I then asked myself if I could really produce a really good out put knowing that I haven’t done these stuffs for couple of months now. Worst, I haven’t undergone any training on CS3 Photoshop though I can manage to outline some figures and throw some colors on it but I doubt if you’ll call that an art. But mind you, way back when I used to get enthused I tend to paint stuffs on a canvass. I wonder where those paintings are today…
Anyway, I wonder what the demands are for 2008. Would it still demand for an average employee with less competencies and skills for you to compete in the global arena? Or would it demand knowledge workers packed with innovativeness and creativity to be able to survive. My fellow Human Resource colleagues, what’s your pick? And why such a demand is inevitable? Below is a space for your inputs. Next entry would be a compil
Networking: Headhunter secrets revealed and how ordinary professionals can learn from it. 2007-12-14 22:29:51 Networking: Headhunter secrets revealed and how ordinary professionals can learn
from it.
Why other headhunters are so successful in this field while others tend to fail? Failure in the sense that, they run out of resources or referrals for such a really hot seat for a certain company. Was their network too small? Have they run out of ideas on how to pool potential talents, where to search them and place them on a very dynamic database that updates itself from time to time?
A vast network is the key ingredient for one headhunter to succeed and that’s a fact. Without a wider array of network a headhunter fails. If you are looking forward of becoming one, then I guess you’ll have to start networking now before it’s too late.
Headhunters are increasing in population now a days and this is to the advantage to various employers who taps their service. The more an employer taps a service of various headhunters, the higher the percentage of filling such juicy vacancy. Corre
Pursuit of Happyness 2007-12-13 20:45:09 Pursuit of Happyness
This movie really reminds me of one person who’s very close to me. He shared his story to me just last night about some of his frustrations when he has still in school that turned out to be challenges for him to overcome. As you all know, I’m on call 24/7.
His story really was so inspiring that I really listened carefully word for word. So what’s the price Rodel for listening to him? This article of course, otherwise I won’t be listening to anyone.
Just to make the story short, his story happened long time ago when we were still in high school. Actually, we were at the same school and we have the same passion i.e. dancing acting Clown. And hell no, this guy is not my alter ego in fact I’m a lot different than him. I was good at school or I was trying to be good at school but my teacher labeled me as a bad kid. She was just sooooo ... arggh! Anyway, she labeled me as a troublesome kid wherein everyday I get into trouble and I was t

You’ve been hearing about this tool being used by job seekers in the west but why it did not reach in the Philippines? Actually, it’s not popular either out there for a fact that they started the crazy idea so how much more in our country to day where in bandwidth and internet access to our employees has been an issue. If you’ll check on YouTube then you’ll see thousands of video resumes.
Moreover, I really find the idea fantastic but somehow I find it so funny or odd. We Filipinos love watching movies and we all know that but one thing also that we Filipinos love doing is criticizing. We’ll constructive criticism as you justify it.
Anyway, let me give you a sample video resume. I just can’t imagine your hr staffs screening applicants watching videos. I can’t imagine myself both creating a video resume and submitting it to various employers. How funny would I be to look at on that video resume?

Points on Good Body Language 2007-12-18 12:14:47 The following is a guest post by CJ of Job Life Upgrade.
Points
on Good Body Language
Introduction
We all know of the statistic: 92% of our communication is nonverbal. A majority of that 92% is body language (voice tonality is the other).
I’ve been working on my body language for a long time. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. Growing up a shy, insecure boy left me with almost no opportunities in college (in romantic life and job life). After being unemployed for a bit, I decided to improve my soft skills.
Body language is important. One time, I went to a job interview with a company I didn’t care for. Just to experiment, I decided to consciously give bad body language. I gave the same answers that I would always give, but I made myself look meek and insecure.
I did so “bad” in that interview that they actually started to offer me advice on how to do well in interviews. I was shocked how well my experiment worked. Of course, I didn’t get the

“Minchington (2005) defines Employer branding as “the image of the organization as a ‘great place to work’ in the minds of current employees and key stakeholders in the external market (active and passive candidates, clients, customers and other key stakeholders).emotive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotive) (e.g. I feel good about working here) and tangible benefits (this organization cares about my career development) for current and prospective employees. These organizations segment and communicate EVP’s which reflect the image that the organization wants to portray to its target audience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_audience). A company’s employer brand is reflected in the actions and behaviors of leaders and is affected by company policies, procedures, and practices.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employer_branding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employer_branding)

When is the right time to attract? 2007-12-17 20:03:13 When is the right time to attract?
This may not be a new to you but mind you a lot of employer representatives failed to recognize the importance of attracting talents at the right time and at the right place. The latter might also be trivial as well for others since now a day’s there are lots of venues were talents lurk and loiter that confuses recruiters.
On my previous rhetoric’s that can be found in this site, I was able to present some venues online were you can spot talents and flirt with them, but this article presents a prequel of the whole process i.e. attracting talents. I may not be discussing extensively on employment branding here though it plays a very significant role in attracting talents, but rest assured this article is still worth the read.
Once an old employee resigns. Conventional recruiter only attracts and recruits applicants once an old employee resigns. This is very applicable to small companies or even to medium sized where HR is just an administra
ARE YOU A “STUCKEE” JOB SEEKER? 2008-03-09 12:47:17 Article Title: Are You A Stuckee Job Seeker?

ARE YOU A “STUCKEE” JOB SEEKER?
I work with job seekers who are “stuckees” My definition of a “stuckee” is a person who does not take action on their own behalf, especially in looking for a job.
The first or second job interview rejection shuts them down. Poor self-esteem is one of the causes of giving up.
Job seeking is a game where new or returning job seekers don’t know the rules. The rules they do know are answering ads, sending out resumes, waiting for the phone to
ring, etc. “Stuck” becomes comfortable and safe.
One of the cures for a “stuckee” is to have a group of people around them that are accepting of

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION 2008-03-02 18:04:19 This is a guest post by Pradeep Mahesh (Maheshwari) from New Delhi, India.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION
The display of the right mood to match the situation is an art that has to be first understood and then learnt. It is a very potent tool of management. Generally speaking, this is an art, which we pick up normally in the course of life but very few of us have learnt to use this art as a tool. Certain situations are very clear; such as visits to the hospital, where one is expected to show concern, or take the instance of a visit to a home where a death has taken place. These are obvious situations and we learn from society the correct mood to display and say the right things that are to be said.
This is emotional intelligence; the ability to gauge the mood of t
The Power of Charm 2008-02-27 11:25:16 An excerpt from Brian Tracy's The Power of Charm:
The Power of Charm
Four Keys to Effective Listening
Every book, article, or course on this subject ultimately comes to the same conclusion: There are four key elements of effective listening. If you can master them, your charm quotient will skyrocket immediately.
1. Listen attentively. Listen without interrupting. Listen in complete silence, as if there is nothing in the world that is more important to you at this moment than what the other person is saying.
If someone wants to talk to you, especially at home, immediately discontinue all other activities and give that person your complete attention.
Turn off the television, shut the book or newspaper, and focus single-mindedly on what the other person is saying. This behavior
