Fresh graduates are seen
everywhere applying for different companies, for different positions and for
different reasons. It's hard to turn your school days to work days, but its
harder to find a work, I guess...
Before I graduate this
April 2013, me and my classmate apply for staff position at Banco De Oro Unibank (BDO Unibank). I don't remember the exact date
but its month of March we take the exam.
Exam: First part was essay type with 2 questions. Second part was somewhat Logical Analysis. Third part and the last part was difficult for most of the
applicants, it was about accounting. The exam was scheduled at 8:30 AM at San
Juan, Greenhills, but the exam started around 9:00AM. Approximately 30 to 40
applicants take the exam and only 4 or 7 (thinking) failed the examination that
morning. After that some applicants had their interview at Greenhills, but some
including me were told to take our interview at BDO Head Office in Makati.
Next day, my scheduled
first interview was 10:00AM but I arrived at 8:30AM because my classmate was
scheduled 9:00AM. Therefore, I had my interview around 9:00AM also and glad
both of us passed it. About the first
interview? Well, it was only about
your resume, grades, and that one question. After that if you passed the
interview, the HR will give you an application form, fill it up and wait for
their call.
April 19 2013 I received a text message for my second
interview for the executive assistant position with the department head. But
unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend. I try to reschedule my application but
UNFORTUNATELY I lost my mobile cellphone dated April 22, 2013.
Obviously, I didn't able to received a reschedule date or whatsoever.
April 24, 2013 I went to BDO Head Office to send a letter for
changing contact number and also to update my application. Unfortunately, there
was NO interview that day, but at least I am able to passed that letter.
The receptionist said that I come back on Monday April 29, 2013.
April 29, 2013 I went back to BDO Head Office but unfortunately
again, the interviewer was sick and Ms. Sharmaine told me that I should wait
for her call or text message for reschedule.

April 4, 2013 I was scheduled to take the pre-employment exam
8:30AM at BPI Head Office Makati.
About the exam??? It's not as easy as you can imagine.
Around 50 who take the exam only 9 passed. It includes 40 questions to answer
in 20 minutes, all about logical analysis. Imagine, you are answering on a
computer then at the screen beside the question, you will see TIME REMAINING.
haha ! and you must answer logic problems in just 30 seconds to complete all.
Glad I passed. I really like the environment of BPI. I was scheduled for my
second interview April 18, 2013.
April 18, 2013 The day after my graduation. I was scheduled
at 8:30AM but unfortunately, since it was my graduation yesterday I woke up

About the interview??? Don't mention it!!!!! haha I'm bitter. I know I

will come back after lunch for their interview. I was scheduled 2:50PM. At
