LIFE: A day as a Qatar Airways Applicant

Five-Star Airline is on a massive recruitment of talents.

Well it's been 2 months since I left Doha because I already consumed almost 6 months of my Visit Visa. So I came back here in Manila to rest and assess again my goals for my career. It was tough finding work in Doha because of the stiff competition with other race.  (My Doha friends know what race they are! :D) Well, I know God has more plans for me and i'm just taking my time and waiting it patiently. 

After the holidays, spending time with my relatives in Laguna. It was time to get back to my laptop and search some job openings online. While browsing my Facebook wall, my former teacher share to her wall an advertisement from JS Contractors about the job openings for Qatar Airways. Hold on, I know what are you thinking. Not the picture above is suggesting that I am applying as a flight attendant. Qatar Airways Group will be doing a recruitment event from January 21-23 at Manila and January 24-25 at Cebu. So I checked some of the openings and I saw a position suitable to my career.

Time to shine for the event

Fast forward, I sent my resume to the above mentioned agency and several days I got a SMS that I should report to there office and bring several documents. I report to the office on January 11 at 10:00 am. That time I was on a mad dash just to go to there office on time. I wasn't expecting that when I arrived, there are a lot of people already ahead of me. So my hopes vanished because they will never entertain me even though I got there early. So I went home and just look for other openings. However, Saturday that week someone from there office SMS me if I'm still interested so I replied and went back to there office and the rest is history.

Photo taken on the event. Wearing the 5-star logo :D

Fast forward again, I was confirmed to go to the event last January 21 at Pan Pacific Manila. I was scheduled for the afternoon session. When I arrived, again the number of people became tripled. I guess Qatar Airways is on a massive recruitment of talents, not only here but all over the world it serves. QR group is divided in 4 event halls of the hotel namely, Doha International Airport (DIA), Qatar Duty Free, Qatar Airways Technical group and Qatar Aviation Catering Company. I was applying for DIA as a Technical Services Engineer. 

I told to myself, it will be a long day for me and for the other applicants. As I fill up my form, I saw my batch mate in Mapua and also applying to the same position. So a few chit chats and finished filling up my forms. Our names are called for the first level of recruitment, written EXAM! So I said ok I'll just answer my questions using my stock knowledge left on my brain. Taking an exam is just answering an entrance exam for a university. After that, we just took a lunch break and came back again to the hotel for a one on one interview.

As we are waiting for our turn, the HR director told us some of the benefits if we are chosen to be on board to there company. My jaw dropped when I hear yearly round-trip tickets with 90% and 50% discounts when we avail it, free accommodation and other benefits. From that time I hear, I just seat back and patiently waiting for my turn. I told myself, they need me! 

When my name was called, I just walked confidently and faced the interviewer on one of the cubicles. The interview just took 7 minutes just describing myself. Well, it will go to my history book for the fastest interview I had taken so far. And the recruiter told me that my papers will be forwarded to a certain department that I am more suitable. So, I went home happy and fulfilled and just waiting for 3 weeks for the call.

That was it, a day as a Qatar Airways Applicant.

LIFE: Youtube Craze!

Last 2012, it was a year of online personalities who creates their own video, famous/new artist introducing new songs, some are doing a parody of famous music videos or KSP Videos (Kulang-Sa-Pansin)  posted by people who encountered unlikely events in public places.

Parodies:

Well Filipinos are the most creative people in doing parodies. It can surpass other parodies in the other parts of the world. In the early half of 2012, the IT girls do a parody of Call me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen which was done by the group of Justin Beiber. 

Here is the video i'm talking about:

Yeah that video as of today it had more than 3 million hits. However, we did also our own video like this one:

The sad part is we just hit only 222 views. It means we should have done a little more artistry on it. Hehehe. It was fun doing that video though.

KSP or Kulang-Sa-Pansin Videos:

Well the last year has also released videos of the infamous Barney and the Amalayer Girl (which that time I was in Doha and doing some stuffs and stumble upon on Twitter what is trending on that time). I know some of the parts which has not filmed in there smart phones and I am a nobody to judge people because of the craziness they have done in public places. Today in the age of cutting-edge technology, it is easy to film and upload videos and pictures over the cyberspace. 

Just for a thought, don't do a crap on public places please people! Just like in a reality show, "Big Brother is watching you". 

You know already what videos i'm talking about and I would not post to this blog.

The 1 Billion hit Music Video:

Yeah on the 1 billion mark video, you know it already! Gangnam Style stormed the cyberspace and even the radio waves all over the world. That time I was still in Doha, many expats like to request it over the radio everyday! PSY who was the star of the video did his homework. I read some news clips that the name of the songs seems like more on explicitly word. However, the name is just a place in South Korea. Maybe the writer of the news is just more conservative and didn't made a research for that. 

Anyways, here is the video for your enjoyment:

That's all folks, let see this 2013 who will make it to the Parodies, KSP's and the most viewed videos in Youtube.

Thanks and Keep Reading!
