Test Taking Strategies for Fresh Graduates. How to take an occupational test? How to prepare for tests? How to answer employee questions? Tips for taking tests! These are some of the reverberating excerpts I hear a lot of times from fresh graduates of many universities. I wish to shed some light into this matter by sharing experiences I had with several multinational companies that I applied and worked for. Today, I will be speaking and sharing the wonderful sets of learning I gained to 200 graduating students of  University of Iloilo-PHINMA Education Network. I wish to be of help to these students by exposing to them the common tests that employers give, how to prepare for an examination, how to prepare for the big battle (of passing the test of the student's company of choice). This is my street-wise approach that I use and for many years have led me to join big companies. If you wish to grab a copy of this training, please leave your e-mail address by posting under the c

PARTY ROCKIN' IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT Short Recall Today its my birthday! So before moving on with birthday ideas, I'd like recall the previous year's highlights so we can clearly move forward. In the night of December 31, 2010 I prayed for my personal direction and my corporate direction. It was revealed that the year 2011 will be a turbulent one.

In my facebook account, I said the following words in one of the website that posted this news. "This will not create monopoly since Globe is still operating. If Globe filed its intention because they see a monopoly to arise, then I personnaly suggest that they address customer concerns fast and accurately. I'm in favor of this acquisi ... tion because Globe has been poorly performing on its DSL, Landline and even wireless broadband. I returned to SMART in my mobile, PLDT in landline and SMART bro in broadband because I was pissed off the way Globe (Innove) handled their services." See my previous blog (click here) You might be asking why on earth would I write such comment against Globe. We'll I suggest that you read my previous blog ( click here ) so you will be guided. The news features that a consumer group named  Samahan La
