Applicants

I was watching something on tv earlier after every show pinapalabas nila ung coffee tv something..Basta it’s from Nescafe, cla Bearwin, Epi & other comedians/artists are included. Yung topic nila is about our youth today, those newly grad students who are applying for a job. Scenario kasi nung coffee tv is in the office, their boss(Jaime Fabregas) was talking to one of the employees(i think nasa managerial level cya but anyway), nirereklamo ni boss ung 4 na nainterview nya wala daw nasagot na maayos kahit isa. And the conversation goes on & on blaming the education students are getting from school etc etc..The last scene was Candy Pangilinan & Joy Viado talking about it. Candy telling Joy that their boss was harsh to the new applicants, then Joy said na nakakatawa talaga ung mga applicants like for example the other applicant was asked, What can you contribute to this company, sagot naman ang applicant, Sir P50 na lang laman ng wallet ko eh yun lang kaya ko icontribute..hahahaha natawa ako dun..pramis..Then I remembered the applicants my friend once interviewed. Ganito naging flaw ng interview session nila.

interviewer: Can you walk me through your responsibilities in your present job?
applicant: Ma’am, medyo malayo po yung office sa amin kaya minsan lang ako maglakad. Minsan nasakay ako ng jeep o kaya pag late na taxi.

hahahaha oh my..if i was the one interviewing this person..I would excuse myself for a while, go out & laugh..hahaha yeah i know bad..pero honestly..hahaha you’ll feel the same way if you were in there..Then there’s the last one..

interviewer: Do you have any questions?
applicant: Ma’am, are you single?

hahahaha we wondered..Why?! Does he want to apply? Or will he give my friend a blind date? hahahaha

Whatever happened to the kids for our future?! And these are the kids that are supposed to be our future leaders? hahaha I can’t say anything more…hahaha
