My Search for a New Job in BARMM


The status says 681 personnel were already hired..  surely those were the ones who previously work in ARMM.

Update: 1/19/2020
They have corrected the variance:
This is the current status now.

So where do you I think I will be on April 1, 2020? Will I get a position on this new governance? I know I might get a slot where my salary expectation can be lower than my current job. But I'll be accepting that because I really want to work at home. I want to enrich my spiritual living and appreciate my purpose.  Ofcourse I wanna be home.  I'm expecting it to be more costly there because I'd love to buy food and share bill payments with my family.  But that would be totally fine with me. On holidays I wont get confused where to go, Surely I could travel. Unlike when I'm far away,  I'm torn between travelling or going home. 

Anyway,  the timing is actually confusing.  Our current project in my present company will slow down or worst will be stopped for a year maybe, which means we need to go back to Manila (which I cant)..  i need to resign again if that's the case..  And I'm too paranoid that our area manager will call me anytime to tell me that.. Err,   i don't want to, but then again I'm going to disappoint him coz I really cant. 

But there's this hospital project that soon to rise here in Davao,  they said it will be awarded to us..  Confirmation will be at the end of this month.  I'm not sure if I should be happy for myself (but happy to davao hired staff) or it only adds to my confusement..  Haha

Its our evaluation period,  anytime soon my Functional Head will call me for One on One assessment...  And she'll surely ask me where to go next if the the workstoppage of our current project will  takes place..  Err,  shall I tell her I'm going to resign for the second time?? (since the Hospital Project is not sure yet.) Shall I tell her that I am applying a job in my hometown? ( what if I wont get that job??)..  Errr,  this is really stressing me recently.  Haha..

I got emails from BARMM confirming the receipt of my email.. I just hope and pray that there will be no conflict on my schedules pag interview na.

2.10.2020
I have these notifications.  One of that informed me that I'm not qualified. I actually expected that since it wasn't really inline my profession..  I just gave it a try since I have a little background about the task... Well,  maybe it wasn't meant for me.

Yesterday, I had 2 emails from Barm.. for the position of Engineer  informing me to wait for an schedule of qualifying exam.. I'm just wondering about the status of my application for the position of Engr 3-5, will I be entitled/qualified or they have picked the lowest position I got myself into. 

2/22/2020
I had a text from MAFAR that I have a qualifying exam tomorrow, my head is quiet spinning now I don't know if I should take it.  It wasn't the ministry that I want to be part of but if I had no chance from the the other Ministry then this would be okay.  No second thoughts that I would take the exam if only the result will not be used to other Ministry. I'm not that confident yet to take the exam..  I wanna get a high score so I can prove that I deserve a position...  But I don't have any idea what will be the type of exam,  maybe  general knowledge... Shall I go home in a while and take the qualifying exam?  i pray that whatever my decision I make,  I wont regret it InshaAllah. 

2/24/2020
I went home and took the exam..  And I'm glad that I did.  The type of exam is actually to test our ability to "think fast"..  It's not even about stock knowledge, it wont make any difference if you review (civil service type of exam) or not. So I didn't regret it in the sense that I might conclude I'm not ready...  Coz as i've said,  ready or not,  you'll get a score depending on just how you think and see figures fast. 

Anyway,  in addition to that, I'm glad I took the pre assessment exam coz I just received an email now that I'm not qualified to a same Plantilla position to other ministry (the one I like actually).  And I want to appeal why I'm not qualified for the the position..  Shall I email why?? 

April 1, 202

I asked last January where will I be this April 1.. Whether I'll be on a new job or what.  Well I'm in my room due to the Community Quarantine,  even my resignation was postponed..  Job seeking related activities in BARMM was also froze.

I'm currently home, I took the MTS exam in MPW last friday. I'm just so grateful I made it home due to travel limitations caused by the Covid Pandemic. The exam was a bit tough that you must have read about Managerial skills on Business type! I don't know why it has to be like that, I am applying for a government position but some questions is a little irrelevant, but I hope I had nice guessing to be qualified on the next phase Inshallah.

I just had Behavioral Event Interview today in MENRE which I think I didn't do it well..  There are technical questions that I forgot coz the last time I had thoughts about it was during college days... 

December 17, 2020

I'am being invited for an interview this coming Tuesday, December 22, 2020 and at first, I am glad that I am shortlisted, but at some corner of my mind, maybe they will just use me as a flower base. The position is some sort of a high position, and knowing the government? They have already cooked someone for that. I don't want to be negative, but maybe if I was invited for a lower position, that would be at least realistic. Ofcourse I believe in my self, I'm just doubtful of the credible process. But that still needs to be proven.


December 22, 2020
It's 2pm and im still waiting for the panel to interview me..  Its supposed to be 1:30pm.. But i don't know where are they..  Maybe they're not really interested in me..  This is just formality..  Anyway,  i'll just take this as an experience of being interviewed. 

December 23, 2020
Yesterday's interview almost ate my self esteem..  The questions were technical but basic and I was not able to answer them.. I've forgotten so many things and my experiences were too inapplicable to them.  i think I don't want to be Engineer anymore haha.  Come what may.  InshaAllah what will be mine will be mine.  i'm really praying to get a job that i deserve... And where I will be good at.

January 13, 2021
Finally the result of my previous interview went out, and as expected, somebody got the position. Honestly, it hurt a bit even I expected it coz it means  I'm not good enough. But then I remember my prayer that I wanted a job I deserve and I would loved, I don't really like that position, so even if I had it, I wont be happy. I just hope and pray that people who will get the position in BARMM will truly deserve it. Anyway, I'll have another interview this Friday in the same Ministry. I don't know how to face the Panel once again, I just pray that I will do better so I can regain my confidence.

Had another interview and I'll leave everything to the Almighty Allah, my QADR.

February 9, 2021
Had an interview in MAFAR, so far this is the best (or at least okay) interview I had.

Feb 19, 2021
I got a meeting with Mafar's Minister last feb 17, and i was informed that I am formally appointed. Alhamdulillah. 
Right now i'm at their office to ask about my credentials..  I'm nervous though.  This will be a different world from my previous jobs.  But i'll be just fine InshaAllah  because I prayed for this.
