As employers in the U.S. and Europe tighten their belts, the best place for Filipino IT workers right now may be home. “All
the jobs are now here… Salaries (and) packages have become very
competitive. I don’t see any reason why kids should still leave the
country and find work abroad,” said Gina Duminy, president of technology jobs recruitment website ITProsAsia.com.
“The greener pastures they are looking for are actually here.”
The numbers back Duminy’s claim. Entry-level call center agents in the Philippines
make more than their counterparts in India, bringing home US$300
instead of $US250. According to data from CBS Interactive, an IT manager
with less than five years of experience makes an average of P270,922

Interview Preparation

In the April 2000 issue of the
Reader's Digest magazine, Nick Corcodilos, a famous headhunter, recounts how
Zagorski, a professional seeking a new job, wowed an interviewer at a big
corporation and got the job.
Zagorski went for an interview at AT&T. At the outset, even before

How To Invest in Stock Market

Investing in stocks is one of the best investments you can ever have if you have the know-how and discipline in managing it.
Stocks are shares of ownership of a public company. The stocks are being traded in a stock market or commonly known as stock exchange.

a stock broker who will buy or sell stocks instead of you. A
stockbroker has all the responsibility to trade your stocks in a stock
exchange. Your part will be to assign the number of shares and the price
you want for a certain stock.
For beginners and first-timer...

Identifying Training Needs

The perception that external training is irrelevant deserves a second
thought in view of increasing competition posed by the global market
place and recession. Today's globalised economy has led to
organisational responses which include drives for quality, technological
change and organisational restructuring, which has been the trigger for
seeking more cost-effective training.
While internal training such as in-house courses and programmes,
on-the-job training, mentoring and open learning are still popular among

problem and is entrepreneurial enough to envision a business based on that
idea, then this post is for you. Here is how...
