We heedfully know the current state of our economy. I think the primary cause of poverty is overpopulation because of this, another problem will rise, they are directly proportional to each other, and example the raise of unemployment will affect the standard of our living (food, education and shelter). In order for us to survive in this world we need to work hard and fight like hell to get all the things that we want. In relation to that, some people will do bad stuffs to get what they want, they don't mind whether they're hurting others, like what happened to me last April 24, 2012.
One busy afternoon, I received a call from a no namer around 3:24 PM. Since I'm preoccupied at that time, I absentmindedly answered my mobile phone. Someone named Jen from blah -blah company asked a minute of my time, since I don't want to sound rude I entertained her. She introduced herself to me saying that she's the account specialist of blah -blah company after that, she divulge the reason why she called me up, she said that their company is in need of 3 Healthcare Professionals and asked me if I can come over to their office by Wednesday or Thursday depending on my availability to discuss the nature of the job and to assess whether I'm qualified to the said position. I asked the exact location of their office and she said that their office is located at the back of SM Megamall, Ortigas. She asked me if I have a job after I answered her "none" she started saying stuffs that are very enticing to hear like I can work to them part time of full time and they're offering a compensation rate based in US Employment rate. After hearing all those flowery words, without second thoughts I followed my intuitions. I booked an appointment with her on Thursday because I'm so enthralled with her offers, (offers like this are so hard to resist especially to a jobless person like me.) and she said that she'll just send me the complete address of their company. After 5 minutes, I received a text from her:
"Kindly note down our appointment on April 26 at exactly 3 PM. Bring 1 valid ID and wear business attire. Our office is located at the back of SM Megamall along San Miguel Ave. Robinson's Bank Bldg. in front of Petron Gas Station; ok see you then, Godbless!"
My Point of View
These are the question that runs into my mind after our short conversation. I wanted to ask all these questions to her but she said that we only have a MINUTE to talk. I don't remember a particular time or day that I sent a resume under their company. How come she knows my number? How come she knows my complete name and the profession where I belong to? What specific floor should I go? I'm so puzzled; hello I have tons of questions need to unveil. To release my angst I tweeted
this:
and replied to her text::
"Sorry, can you please tell me again the complete name of your company. Thanks."
She replied
"Blah- blah Company. As is xa not abbreviated. Ok. Busy here. Godbless"
After receiving her last text, I felt that there is something wrong. They're not entertaining questions and when they answered your question they gave you a one liner answer. So my sister suggested to Google the company. I immediately surf the net but the company that I'm looking for is nowhere to be found. I rephrased my query and added the word "Ortigas" and to my surprise I saw blog entries way back 2009 meant to bashed a certain company, to my curiosity I read the blog and I was a bit astonished because the scene happened to them is the exact circumstances happened to me. At first I thought it was just a merely coincident but when I tried to read other blogs and all of them experienced the same scene happened in Ortigas, I opted not to go there - for my own safety purposes.
Lesson Learned: "Before dealing to a certain company or person or before going to a place make sure to do a little research or back ground checking because you'll never know what lies ahead."
