First of all I’d like to thank Mr Jepoy for being a nice guy and sending me this PLDT Landline Prepaid Plus sim. I already received the package and I’m gona show you some screenshots of it.

By the way, I’d like to congratulate the Bob Reyes of TurfSite Manila and Tonyo Cruz for winning Jepoy’s PLDT Landline Prepaid Plus Sim Giveaway Contest.

Anyway, I’ll try to activate it first and after that I’ll write a review about it.

Globe’s 3G Internet Services

During my stay in Riyadh, I often use Mobily’s 3g internet services. Though it’s kinda expensive, I still use it to check my mails and other stuff online. When I went back here in Manila, our myDestiny Cable internet was cut off so I have to try alternatives. One of the things I tried is using Globe’s Internet Services using my N73 phone with Globe prepaid sim. I set it up correctly using nokia’s settings wizard but when I tried using it, I always get this packet issues. I really don’t know what’s wrong with the set up or why is it not working. My question is that, is Globe’s 3g internet service really working?

I haven’t tried smart’s services yet but I do think that it is the real deal. I mean, if you are looking for an alternative say like you’re in a province or on the go, Smart is there and I’ve heard that it’s nice. Added that it’s internet service is relatively cheap(10pesos every 30 minutes).

Maybe some of you might be wondering why the hell Am i desperately in need of internet connection. Well, we are moving to dasmarinas cavite really soon. And I think the subdivision were we live is not supported by any ISPs so my alternative is using my phone and prepaid sim as my modem to connect through the intarwebs.

Anyhoo, do you guys know if there are any ISPs providing services in our Area, it’s in greenwoods subdivision dasmarinas cavite.

Thanks and Goodluck to me.

The Company

Accenture is a global and one of the top companies when it comes to management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing.

What they say

Last year a lot of my friends and batch mates from Mapua got the chance to have their OJT and some were eployed immediately. From their experiences, it’s a nice company to work with especially for fresh graduates because they give trainings and the compensation is good. Though some would say that it isn’t because you wouldn’t know where you will be placed not until the orientation for the new hires, I forgot what they call it.

How to apply

Submit your resume or better yet contact them. Accenture people will call you and would schedule you for exam.

The Exam
I know two exam locations, one in libran and the other is in AIM building near Greenbelt 1. Exam is time pressured which is composed of English, Math, Abstract Reasoning and Flowcharts.

The Interview
After taking the exam, wait for like a week and they’ll call you if you passed the exam and will schedule for interview. Some applicants doesn’t need to be interviewed and will be asked for the medical exam.

The Job offer
After Medical exam, 90% sure you’ll be able to receive of a job offer, usually there is a bond of two years. It’s up to you if you’ll accept it.

I’ve been searching for a job for like years already and unfortunately, I’m having a hard time on landing a job. It’s either I fail the interviews or I am just not good enough. Although there are a lot of vacant jobs for IT graduates, Still there are many people who are unemployed. One of the main reason why is that we lack enough education and skills to compete with others.

I’ve learned so much over the years of my job hunting experience so I guess it’s about time that I give fresh graduates some tips on companies and their application procedures. In this case, applicants would have the time to review to pass the exam and ace the interview.

So watch out for my upcoming posts about IT companies.

Back online

Yay! I’m back, after ten years!

Last week, there was an internet outage in Middle East and south asian countries due to a damaged cables lying under the seabed. It happened Wednesday that’s why the casualty, at first, has not noticed by home users. But businesses and call centers are much affected because of they rely on this technology. Until now, they are not sure what caused the damage and when is the internet going to be stable.

Our internet connection here in the building is not quite stable yet. Time to time I got disconnected and wait for hours to re-establish a connection. I tried to download Visual c++ 2008 express edition to test the download speed of our connection and to my surprise I downloaded it fast and encountered only one problem, that’s when I got disconnected.

Internet connectivity has been a part of each of our lives and we feel incomplete when we are not able to check our mails and do our daily tasks with the internet. It’s just frustrating trying to go online these past few days.
