Working in a bank...

Yes, you read it right! I have worked in a bank between March and April. I applied last March, hoping to get work and I did, with the help of my classmate during college, who is already working there. After the series of interviews and exams, I was expected to report after 2 days. I'm one of the pioneer of the prescreeners of the Applications Processing Unit and there were just three of us in the prescreener team. In our contract our job description was just to clear backlogs of phone verification of credit cards and personal loans. In short, we just type the name and birthdate of the applicants in the computer and see whether their application has a duplicate or if it is declined, then we terminate the application and that's it. We just mainly type all day, 5 days a week.

And if you're wondering why only for the duration of one month? Unfortunately the boss of my boss terminated my contract because I have to leave for 5 days to go to Davao for family reasons. When I asked permission to my boss, she permitted me to go and when my ticket is already settled, suddenly the boss of my boss talked to me and told me that they couldn't afford to loose me for 5 days because of my critical role for the department, even though I'm just in a contractual basis. And so I am faced in a delimma of whether I will go to Davao and loose my job or not to go to Davao and save my work, with the ticket already settled and the money used to buy those ticket is my salary from work and I can't demand for a refund anymore because I was leaving the next day, I decided to go to Davao and loose my work.

At first I was confident that I will be called to report for work after my trip to Davao because i called my friend at the HR and said that there's no vacancy that would replace my position. But because I know how the boss of my boss thinks and she's the type of the autocratic person, she didn't bother to consider me again for the position. And so now I'm broke with my salary spent for my tickets, the catch is I enjoyed going to Davao and Surigao del Sur, having a get together with my relatives which I haven't seen for almost 20 years!

I decided not to find a job again because my sister is coming home this June and I would like to spend time with her because this is her first time to go home since she left 9 months ago...
