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.

How To: Transfer files using WS_FTP

Posted on March 22, 2006
Filed Under how to, wordpress | 2 Comments

I’ve been using [tag]ws_ftp[/tag] since high school to upload files for my webpage. Yeah, I still use the same software and I really am into it haha. I am using WS_FTP LE(limited edition) it’s for free but I don’t know if they still have that edition.

What is WS_FTP?
WS_FTP is a software which lets you transfer files from your computer to the remote host/server.

What is [tag]FTP[/tag]?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, it is the language for file transfer from computer to computer across WWW.

How to [tag]Upload[/tag] files using WS_FTP?

Local System

Remote Site

The local system is where you can view files stored on your computer. Remote Site allows you to view files stored on the server/ remote site.

What is the difference between upload and download?
Upload is when you transfer a file from your pc to remote site while download is when you get a file from the remote site to your pc.

Before we start make sure you have the software(ws_ftp LE). If you don’t have a copy, you can email me or just leave a comment and I’ll send to you the copy.

We have to set up the session properties so we could connect to the remote site.

Session Properties

Profile name: You can put name that you want. Mine is jong.

Host Name/ Address: here you will place the host name or the address of the ftp of that website. Mostly they use this format ftp.hostname.com

Host Type: just set it to Automatic detect.

User id: make sure you add @hostname.com to your user id because it won’t work if it’s missing. Uncheck Anonymous.

Password: your password here.

Click apply then connect. If you can’t connect, maybe you don’t have an account or something. It’s not my problem anymore. hehe

Ok Now this is where you’ll actually learn how to transfer files. haha…

Select the directory where you saved your file or something. Locate the file yourself then click that button with an arrow pointing to remote site(that button in between the local and remote site).

If you want to download from a remote site, do the same thing. Find the file or folder you wish to download then select it and click the button with an arrow pointing to local system.

Now I know how to transfer files hehe. The next question is how do I upload [tag]wordpress[/tag] themes?

Once you’ve created or downloaded a wordpress theme, you can upload it to the remote site using any FTP software, Here we are using ws_ftp. Select that folder(i.e., wordpresstheme) from your local system, then go to remote site side and go to wp-content/themes. Once you’re there, you can now click the button. haha

I hope you enjoy my soo Noob tutorial haha… I know am not really good but hey at least I have the guts. haha
