It’s almost 3 weeks since I started work. Yes, I have a work already. That is worth a, “SAY WHAT?” remark. I have more to type but I don’t think I am ready to share everything. After a month, I guess. But this is a good news I am delivering to everyone. CLAP!
How To Get A Police Clearance From Quezon City Hall
The Police Clearance area is located near the Gate 3 (East Avenue).
Requirements:
- A barangay clearance or
- an ID that shows your address
Fees in Peso:
- 100 Police Clearance
- 50 Digital Photo (by that I mean, a photo taken with a webcam)
- 5 Wet tissue
1. Present your original and photocopied barangay clearance or ID in Window 1 . You’ll be given an application form. Fill out the form.
2. After filling out the form, go to directly to Window 2: Interview. If you don’t look suspicious or the clerk is busy chatting, s/he won’t interview you. You’ll be given a payment form.
3. Pay the necessary fee (P100) in the Treasury Office (correct me if I’m wrong). The office is behind the Landbank.
Note: It’s where you get a Cedula, too!
Tip: Please read their ENTRANCE and EXIT ONLY sign.
4. After paying, go back to the Police Clearance area. Have your fingerprints printed in your form.
Tip: (Most of the blogs I used as reference for my personal trip) they sell wet tissue/wipes for P5! But I do suggest you bring your own to save money. Haha
5. Proceed to Window 5. Present your receipt and form to the clerk who’s composing a text message (or texting). Pay P50 for the digital photo. Have your photo taken and wait for your digital photo receipt.
6. Proceed to Window 6. Present your application form and your receipt. Wait for your Police Clearance to be printed.
Before you leave, you might want to check the details. If there’s an error, they will reprint it for free!
Viola! The process is real fast! 
The people are somewhat accomodating. Except for one who walked across near the counter and expected to be excused immediately. She did excuse herself, (yes, polite) TWICE to different people/group. In my honest opinion, she could have walked outside the window lanes and not right in front of the counter where people were having transactions.
Don’t lose your temper when there are insensitive people who are trying to cut the line. For good sake, there were only 3-4 people before his turn and he was even inviting his friend to join him break-off the line. Mind you, he’s not in his senior years nor disabled. He even defended himself by telling he’s in the front row. So what?
Honestly, I went out with pure belief that I won’t be pissed off by any situation but those two experiences… Ugh.

This blog has taken all the stories about my frustration for not having a job. Guess what? I’m blogging again about jobs and having none.
Anyway, so within the week, I attended an exposure trip which was sponsored by the company I applied to. It’s a recruitment post so they asked me to go in a job fair. The experience was fun and just about right. Nothing is really special. They are a big company but not really known here in the Philippines so students hesitate in going into the company’s booth. It was still tiring because I woke up and got in the building really early and nobody was in the office!!! So I had to wait for minutes standing in the hall. I was even the one who opened their door because I was asked to!
Final interview with the manager also happened in the school’s library. It was just random talk and blahblah. A little casual because he wanted it that way. Oh, he asked for what can I contribute to their company. Gave me a week to pass something. I’ve done my presentation but I don’t know where to send it.. I wouldn’t want to visit them just for the proposal ( I was thinking of sending it through email or something).
Wednesday, I went on a date. Ate all my heart out during dinner at a Filipino buffet restaurant. Yes, pigged out! I was so stressed and stressed and pressured and pressured. I got call from another company. I got invited for an interview for the next day. And thank God the time was not early.
So the next day, Thursday, I attended the interview. Oh boy, I didn’t realize their office is located in a.. I can’t describe it. It’s how I assumed it will be because it’s not a usual spot for office buildings but it was way more than that. (Ha, I lack strange imagination.) But their office environment is okay for me, they allow flats, I guess. Their manager is really nice that we even talk in Filipino. I don’t know, she started it! You know what others say, should answer back using the language the person used when he asked you something. It was very quick. Found myself at home 5 hours from the time I went out.
While I was eating lunch, someone called and asked for a phone interview. Okay. I never thought I’d hear from them because it’s been a long while since I took their pre-employment exam. Oh, but I read about them and people say that the company’s employment processing is slow blahblah. Oh, the interviewer told me that there would be someone talking to me the same day or Friday – but no one called. She could have said I didn’t make her assessment rather than telling me to expect a call. So I assume that I passed. ((:
When I went to sleep, I was awaken by a phone call. I thought it’s from the same company who told me to expect a call but not. It’s from another company and we talked for about 18 minutes! My cell burned my left ear, if I may say. Really, it was a long call discussing about my internship and experience as a call center trainee. I don’t know why she made fuss about those two things.. she didn’t ask me other things just that. Whatever.
Oh, help me God and you guys keep praying that I land on a job soon! Because my mom’s pressuring me and blaming me for not taking that MB offer is killing me. Srsly. I am not suicidal at the moment and never will be but thissssssssss!!! It’s too much, I don’t even seek for her help at this time.
It’s just so depressing how she’s making it a big deal. Oh probably because she’s giving me money for interview trips but really.. If there’s still nothing for me, then there’s nothing for me. I’m trying harder.. I hope she sees that. TTFN
