Arthur Principe, SC’s first deaf-mute employee
Filed under: Government, management, news, opportunities, Philippine, Reaction
Not that he has special skills, talents or an extra-ordinary qualification, but Arthur Principe, 35, deaf-mute, being hired by country’s highest court sets a milestone not only for himself, but also for the whole country, and sends a message that they can work side and co-exist with other people.
Supreme Court hiring it’s first deaf-mute employee in the person of Arthur Principe, I believe should be congratulated. For they have set a precedent that others can emulate – and should emulate!
We’ve been hearing talks and advocacies left and right, about giving our ‘handicapped’ brothers equal opportunity in our society. Yet few really follow and practice such advocacy.

“I can’t complain!” The job interview
Ricky dela Cruz, a senior marketing executive in a multinational company is seated in front of the desk of the HR Manager of a competing company.
He has plans of transferring there that is why he is called in for the interview.
The HR Manager came and she sat on her chair, reviewed the resume and credentials of Ricky, nods a little, as she faced him and said:
HR Manager: “Mr. dela Cruz, it says here in your papers that you are one of the top performers of your company. If you don’t mind, can I ask you about your salary?”

Earth Hour 2009 – March 28
With only a few days left, there won’t be too much of a reminder that can be made to signify how important Earth Hour is.
And this is just a short post to remind everybody that Earth Hour 2009 will be on Saturday, March 28.
Turn off your lights for just an hour, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, a simple act that shows you are voting for Mother Earth and helping create awareness about the impending Global Warming (if it isn’t upon us yet).
Remember, March 28, 2009, 8:30 to 9:30 PM, just one hour of your time.
An hour to be in dark, to contemplate. Better be in the dark for an hour than be in it for eternity.
It’s a small gesture, but it can help create a lot of impact.
Vote for Mother Earth. Participate in the Earth Hour 2009.

For those who are contemplating on becoming entrepreneurs but don’t know where to start, here’s something I got from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) website.

A legal contract is not something to play around with
Not too long ago I blog about some business lessons we could learn from Pacquiao’s victory over Dela Hoya. Now, he is again showing us some things we can learn and apply to our business… not to play around with legal contracts.
Manny Pacquiao‘s discipline and commitment to his sport cannot be questioned, we all see how he puts his heart into every fight. But recently, he is doing more than a good sportsman can do – violating legal contracts.
Wikipedia defines contract as “an exchange of promises between two or more parties to do, or refrain from doing, an act which is enforceable in a court of law. It is a binding legal agreement.”

Where to find jobs after graduation
In a few weeks’ time, our college seniors will finally graduate (again, congratulations Sir Mon!)… and then, the inevitable will follow – you need to find a job!
With already a hundred of Filipinos nowadays being jobless, what are the chances of the new graduates landing a job in the first few months of their job hunting?
Aside from the ‘experience’ factor, they actually have as much chance of passing (or failing) as the ‘seasoned’ job hunters.
But where do you really start looking for a job?

Tale of the two shoe salesmen
Rewriting this from memory, because I can’t find my copy and I can’t remember where I got it from (hence I can’t quote the source).
Anyway, it’s a good story to share, especially for entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs.
Tale of the two shoe salemen
The top salesman of a leading shoe company was sent to a remote island to promote their brand of shoe.
Unfortunately, upon reaching the shore of the said island, he noticed that none of the locals were wearing shoes… not even slippers! They were all barefooted.
