^ sis, dont count on it.  i finished the application process only to be told in the end that i was not selected in the national selection board.  My papers where presented but may mga kalaban from inside the agency. move on and apply to other government agencies.

My mom works in a government office all her life hanggang mgretire sya 2 years ago. Sabi ko nga ako na lang papalit sa kanya since line of work ko din naman yung trabaho nya ayaw lang nya. Sa province yun ayaw nya ako dun. But her salary and benefits ang bumuhay at nagpaaral samin 3 magkakapatid. Kahit retirement benefits nya ang galing more than enough in my opinion.

My eldest brother worked in Malacañang during the Arroyo administration. Although sandali lang sobrang pulitika daw e, pero wala din sya masabi sa benefits.

I'm a CS professional passer sana one of these days magkaron ako ng guts to quit the corporate world and work on a government agency.

Wow. I have backread and mostly ng posts are about GSIS, BOC, SSS, BIR, SC, OMB.. Super ganda ba ng benefits nila? Di kasi ako familiar sa mga benefits. OMB lang yung mejo may background ako kasi I have a friend who works for them at halos monthly daw talaga may narereceive silang bonus. Sobrang nakakainggit pag nagkkwento sya lol.

I also work in the govt pero maliit na agency lang. Nagiisip din ako kung saang govt agency magandang lumipat. Syempre there are things that should be considered like higher salary grade, more benefits ad incentives and sana yung malapit lang and accessible yung place. Practicality goals. Lol.

Mahirap lang talaga magapply pag wala kang backer, may pulitikahan na nangyayari sa loob ng agency, may kalaban ka na taga loob,limited yung vacancy at syempre pag di malakas loob mo.

^gusto ko lang mag-share ng updates tungkol sa aking mga pending applications.

so far: meron akong 3 pending applications. 2 tapos na at waiting for developments at isang kakaumpisa pa lang ng proseso.

Actually, hindi ko sure kung matatanggap ako sa kahit alin sa mga ito. Lahat naman mga kagalang-galang na ahensiya kaya ikararangal ko matanggap sa kahit alin sa mga ito.

Pero dahil excited akong paglimi-limian ang aking mga pending applications for transfer, eto ang aking mga analysis:


1. Supreme Court - 3 applicants: 1 position/item. SG 23, a little lower than my present salary but more benefits than my current position

PROS: 1. familiar ako sa place dahil dito ako nag college nearby...
             2. first government agency ko itong Supreme Court. familiar na rin ako sa culture
             3. strategic position for my future plans

CONS: 1. malayo although my shuttle bus naman,
             2. grabe ang politika

Type of Exams: IQ test tsaka personality test

Interview: one-on-one with the future immediate boss.

done with the exam and interview. during the interview nalaman ko na kilala pala ng nag iinterview yung kalaban ko. anyway, kilala ko yung boss nung nag-interview sa amin, pero magkagalit sila. haha, ayun,



2. PCSO - 3 applicants: 1 position/item. SG 23 din. A little lower than my present salary but more benefits than my current position

PROS: 1. malapit sa bahay kagaya sa current work ko
           
CONS: wala naman masyado. yun nga lang di pa sure kung matatanggap

Types of Exam: IQ and personality test

Interview: Panel Interview with the Selection Board which consists about 6 persons ata


3. Ombudsman - 11 applicants, 7 vacant items. SG 26!

Bale technically, higher position siya sa position ko kasi 3 years of related experience ang kailangan aside from the license and training requirement. although hindi naman ako taga-Ombudsman sa ngayon. Mas mataas ng about 11k yung basic pay than my current position. Plus may RATA -non-taxable allowance

Type of Exam: 6 Essay questions. mahirap ang mga tanong kasi puro technical. nakasagot naman ako, hopefully magustuhan. may corresponding points kasi bawat tanong kaya medyo mahirap.

Next phase daw ay interview, di ko naitanong what kind of interview. I would presume though that it would be a panel interview kasi mataas na position ito. At sana matanggap ako kahit wala akong backer. umaasa talaga ako kasi pito yung bakante. medyo mahirap din kasi lumusot dun sa iba kong inaplayan kasi isa lang ang item na pinaglalabanan namin.


---Meron ako sanang pang-apat: SSS. Naka-sked ang exam at interview last week. pumunta ako pero hindi na ako tumuloy. hindi kasi ako nagtanong before the scheduled exam. malaki pala ang diffference ng magiging take home pay ko. Para akong made-demote kaya hindi ko na tinuloy. Ang layo rin sa bahay kasi sa Makati ma-aassign if ever.

Ayun. Shinare ko lang. Post ako ulit ng update kung anong nangyari . kung positive or nega.hehe.

Sa mga ibang GT Sisters, apply lang tayo ng apply.

UPDATES:

1. Supreme Court - walang feedback kung natanggap ba ako o hindi. pero ok lang.

2. PCSO - recommended na ako ng selection board since early february 2016 pa, pero wala silang comelec exemption at the time na iniform ako. so i said let us wait for the exemption. (banned ang government to government transferer pag walang comelec exemption sa ngayon dahil sa gaganaping elections.)

3. Office of the Ombudsman - winner! pirmado na ang appointment ko since March 2, 2016 at naka-secure na rin sila ng exemption for me. mag sstart na ako mag asikaso ng transfer ko.:)

>> higher pay, higher position, nearer location.

Balik tanaw sa timeline ng application process:

March 2015 - my initial application for the same position. I was not able to complete the documentary requirements for the application because of my miscarriage. They called me and asked if I will continue with the process, I told them I will defer at the moment and wait for other vacancies instead since I am still recovering at the time.

August 4, 2015 - got a call from them informing me that there are new vacancies. I was invited to re-apply.

August 6, 2015 - submitted application letter and requirements (10-day deadline for submission of requirements)

October 16, 2015 - written exam - there were 15 applicants/examinees

January 18, 2016 - Panel Interview (I was already 5-6 months pregnant and my bump is obvious)-- only those who passed the written exam were invited to the panel interview. there were only 7 interviewees. 4 males, 2 other non-pregnant females and me.

January 27, 2016 - Neuro Psychiatric Exam--there were only 4 who were asked to take this exam. I am the only female.

March 2, 2016- got a call that my appointment has been signed (30 weeks pregnant)...When I saw the Comelec exemption, it appears that I am the only female among the 4 persons who were selected to fill up the positions. they did not fill up all the 7 positions. the selection board also did not appoint the two other female applicants.

--need to assume the position before i give birth. Due date ko sa May 12, 2016. I am currently processing my papers and about to assume the position on March 22, 2016 (Comelec exemption up to March 25)

My rainbow baby is my lucky charm.:)

Good luck sa lahat! apply ng apply!

^wow! nakaka-aliw yung timeline mo sis! talagang detailed! Congratulations ng x2! (1 for your appointment & 1 for the baby on the way!)

Lalakas din ang loob ko to take the CS exam and apply sa government. Sana lang maging maayos na ang government this election. (Santiago or Duterte sana manalo!)

Congrats, fionaapple!

I've been a service contractor for a national government agency for quite a while, lipat na ako to an NGO next month. CS professional passer since 3rd year college, got hired without backers, at medyo stringent ang application process even for contractors. I applied March and was hired August.

While pwede na ang sweldo (SG 13 ako nag start noong fresh grad) literal na walang benefits; as in sweldo lang. Required kami mag SSS, PhilHealth, at life insurance pero at our expense ang contribution. Ni walang leave credits, no work, no pay. Pahirapan pa umabsent at medyo ewan ang mga boss.

Oks sa government kung regular position, pero kung contractor lang, mej mag isip isip kayo sisses. Mabubulok kayo sa gobyerno lalo kung wala kayong inaasahang plantilla.

Pahingi naman po ng sample question sa pre employment exam sa BIR. Thank you po

May problem solving din po ba like age problem, yung KM etc. At sa excel po ba magtatype siya or parang may procedure na susundin, example 1.type bir in capslock then bold. Ganyan po ba.

Thank you po sa tips

Hi po!

Ask ko lang sa mga nag exam sa GSIS kung need ba na magbusiness attire or casual lang pwede na? Exam lang ba yun at wala na kasunod na interview on the same day?

Thanks po..

more than 1 month na still wala pa din result sa BIR application ko..naforward na daw sa manila lahat ng application ng nakapass sa exam at interview, gaano katagal siguro yan maprocess.  :'(

good am miss, saang region ka po based? I took the pre-employment exam February 2015, interviewed by panel and regional director November 2015. Nag follow-up ako sa application ko dito sa BIR revenue region namin few weeks ago, ang sabi nasa central office na lahat ng papers nung ininterview nung November 2015. Few days  ago, nagemail ako sa mga BIR personnel division sa central office, talagang pingaghahanap ko mga emails nila, nag reply naman sila sabi nasa active list pa rin yung application and patuloy pa rin yung filling nila sa mga vacant positions. hay naku! stay positive lang talaga ako neto. hehe

Hi.. pa-help naman. What's the best reason for taking a month leave? Honestly kaya ko lang naman want magleave ng ganon katagal kasi super stressed na ako sa work. I am unhappy with the environment I'm in sobrang toxic. I love my job but I just can't take the stress brought by the people around me. I want to clear my mind, I need to know if worth it pa to stay. I badly need a break. Kaso ang hirap magpaalam sa boss ko, I know her, hindi nya ko papayagan mawala ng ganon katagal at yang honest reason ko ay mababaw yan para sa kanya.

What should I do? Been working in the government for 7 years. At ngayon ko lang naramdaman that I'm about to breakdown. Suko na ko. I want to think of myself naman. 😢😢😢

Hindi pwede province kasi sa Laguna lang ako. Saka wala naman kaming malaking lupain na dapat ayusin. Ang hirap din naman kung about sa abroad, hahanapan ako ng papers that I'm really leaving the country. Same with health issues, medical naman..though marami talaga ako health prob at alam nila yun. Kung seseryosohin ko lang na ireason ang health eh kukuntyabahin ko mga doctors ko na kunwari nirerequire nila ko mag rest for a month. Haaay, hirap naman... Kailangan kasi plantsado. Naisip ko rin na magpaka-honest na lang at makiusap sa boss ko kaso hindi lang ako sure na pagbibigyan nya ko lalo pa she's retiring na next month. I intend to file my VL on Monday na kasi plan ko starting May 2 na yung 1 month leave.

Hello guys! I'll be having an exam by next week. Do you have any ideas about what yung coverage? Is it like civil service lang?
