Job Hunting

To start off, I just want to share what my friends experienced in PGH application. I advised them to come before daybreak to make it to the quota of available slots. OA daw ako, etc. True enough, they weren't able to pass the requirements in PGH. Pano ba naman, 1 day before pa lang ng schedule madami na daw pumila. Strange but true. Kung sa U.S., OA ang pila sa Harry Potter books and ipods, dito, nursing jobs ang blockbuster. Pero naman kase, PGH yon. Just like in issuance of working visa in the US, once every 2 years lang ata sila mag-open, manpower pooling pa. Meron din sila volunteer program, need mo magpa-Hepa B titer or vaccine for that.

Anyway, may good news pa din naman. I was able to pass my application in VRPMC along EDSA near Boni Ave. They require a rating of 80% and above, pero madaming nakalista sa log sheet na below 80%. Tama yun, try lang ng try. Go ng go, at least nagpasa ka. The usual requirements for nurses are needed. PAg kulang daw, pwede naman to follow on the day of examination pag tinawagan ka.

Sa Cardinal Santos naman (Wilson St., Greenhills), they gave us their email address (csmcareers@gmail.com), just email your resume and put in the subject heading position you're applying for (ex. Applicant for Staff Nurse position). I just emailed mine a while ago. Your resume must contain all seminars and trainings you've attended, etc. etc. that would convince them that you're the best nurse in the land.

Frustrated kami ni Leah sa San Juan Medical Center and UERMMMC (tama ba 3 m's?) kase sa SJMC, gov't. hospital, closed daw. Pero they accept volunteers (wala na ko plan bumalik dun kung volunteer din lang kase syempre kelangan ng backer--paging ERAP Estrada! hehe!). Sa UERMMMC, hindi sila open for outsiders for staff nurse position (bwiset!). Ang lapit lang sana sa place ko.

I'll hit the road next week pag may pera ako and energy. Hangga't hindi ako pumipirma ng job contract sa Delos Santos eh I would consider other options pa din. Opportunities don't knock on your door, you should look for it.
