The SM Jobs Fair Update
The Third SM Jobs Fair doe Marikeños just concluded last Friday. The organizers, CENTEX and PESO of the City Government of Marikina, were pleased with the very high acceptance rate. For those who were not able to make it to the jobs fair, do not despair. SM Save More is still accepting applicants for various positions although they have special and immediate needs for Accounting Assistants, Treasury Assistants, and Supervisors. This time, even non-Marikeños may apply. Call their HR Department at 941-2575 or bring your resume to SM Save More located at the Riverbanks Mall in Barangka, Marikina. Special thanks to the kind and patient Ms. Amelie Binayas, HR Officer of SM Save More, for these information.
During the jobs fair also, SM Home World have announced their need for Drivers and the good news is that there’s no age limit for this position. Home World is an affiliate company of SM which sells home furniture. I’m sorry but I do not have the number of SM Home World at this time, you may try calling SM Save More to get more information.
Here are snapshots of the event:
In Building Confidence for a Job Interview. Notes for SM Marikina Jobs Fair Applicants.
The other night, my husband was preparing for a major job interview overseas. I can tell he was excited and wanting to make a good impression. He was also trying to counter his anxiety for oral interviews by writing what he thinks would be asked by the employer and his answers to those questions. He would then repeatedly read what he’s written which eventually lead to memorization but it would sound more spontaneous and natural than when you actually memorize it. It’s his way of building his confidence and improving his communication skills.
While for some, building confidence is focused on improving his/her physical appearance like going to the gym or taking the best diet pill, for job hunters, it should be more than that. I totally believe that this strategy of my husband is effective. Many applicants fail to make it to the next level by passing the basic job interview. In our experience in handling jobs fair, even college graduates fail miserably in expressing themselves in oral interviews, especially if the interview is conducted in English.
The best approach to building your confidence interviews is simple but most of the time, taken for granted: practicing, practicing more, and practicing again and again. In my next article, I would be discussing in length the steps in practicing for a job interview.

Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan.
