15th floor octagon bldg, san miguel avenue, ortigas center, pasig city
may tumawag ba sayo na nagoffer ng business meeting at pinapapunta ka sa address na yan?
ito ung story ko behind that...
just tonight i receive a call from 09062867545 named MARK REYES. i was being offered a part-time job with a very arrogant payment and he assured me that it wouldnt interfere with my studies. he said that he was from a US-based company. he spoke in a mix English and Filipino. i tried to be nice initially so i could encourage the person on the other line to speak more freely (ok naman ung approach niya kaya nakipagusap ako). i asked him where he got my digits. he said i was recommended by someone. ( i wonder why that someone just throw my digits to someone just like that ) he said tht there is a "pre-qualification meeting" tomorrow afternoon, i turnd down his offer because of my exam. tinanong niya ako kung kailan ako free i said "im free on friday afternoon". binigay niya yung address ng venue... sa Ortigas...location pa lang nagdalawang isip na ko na kasi hindi ako familiar sa lugar ( as in sobrang hindi ) and 6:30pm ung time ( na shocked ako sa oras. may business meeting ba ng ganong oras? ) but then he goes on delivering a spiel: Wear smart casual, Come on time at 6:30pm and He expected me to be professional, be on time and not back out the last minute.
*i tried to ask everything na matatanong ko w/in 3mins
i admit i took note of it ( suspicion is a very good motivator )
...after that phonecall i asked my mama about it. she said na NETWORKING, i believe her syempre then i search it sa internet, i locate 15th floor octagon bldg san miguel ave ortigas,. may ibat-iba akong nakita na name ng company ( Synergy1 Global, NuSkin..etc. ) at parehong pareho ng nangyari sa`kin. i dont think its a bad thing, its just that yung approach nila was very confusing. kung hindi lang dahil sa financial payment na "offered" nila na 20-30k/month, why not di ba?, i wouldnt even bother researching and immediately declined it.
...after reading info about it i immediately texted him to cancel the said meeting. I DONT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST THEM. its just im not into networking at pagnaririnig ko ung word na yan SCAM kaagad pumapasok sa utak ko. so/but BEWARE. =]
Gusto ko lng ibalik ung favor by blogging about it.
