Feature: Angel Gallego's Live To Explore Video

They say that most of us have the same routine of consuming our lives, everyday . We wake up, eat, take a bath, go to work or school or search for a job. Our lives then become monotonous - placid, frozen and never changing. We are breathing but slowly loosing our vigor. We then make money as the center of everything so we work hard and as years past when we retire and be old, we then realize that we are not that physically strong anymore to spend the money we saved very hard. We will then hope that we can turn back time but nobody can’t. Did you dare to ask what is the reason of your existence?

Feature: Yulia Rivas' Live To Feel Story

In this industry -BPO. Most of us are very conversational in letting other people know our opinion, our thoughts and even what we want in our life. We are usually interactive and whenever we vocalize what we have in mind, we make sure that the thought is complete and readily understandable by other people. Some people are not that gifted with confidence like we are. Some are very timid in letting other people know their emotions and wants. It is not because they don’t know what to say, maybe because they are not used to it or they are afraid that this can cause misunderstanding or be misinterpreted by other people. This doesn’t mean that they can express what they feel. They, like us, too express their emotions but not in words but in a medium that they are good. It can be by singing, composing, playing an instrument like a piano, violin or guitar, drawing, painting, sports, travelling, writing blogs, poetry, planting a tree, joining a group or a peer and even dancing.

When in doubt, throw it out! SCAM Companies

As requested here are some helpful articles copied from the internet of some companies allegedly scamming those fresh graduates and job seekers. They pretend to be a legitimate company and provides make believe call center job descriptions with "EASY PROCESS" but they are not as sweet as it's cracked up to be so beware!

JobsDB recommends: Verify before you trust. Always keep the following safety tips in entertaining online job offers: Do NOT use any conta...
