pwede patabang mga bro? ni-apply ko dri as eBook Prod Assoc, have passed the exam and interviews, but ila ko gi-inform after 3 weeks pa nga hired nadaw ko but wla padaw schedule when mag-start ang among batch, they will just giv me a call daw. ang problem nako ky gitawagan ko on d same day nga nahired sad ko sa usa ka animation company dri sa cebu as IT personnel nya mag-start ko ds 31st of Aug. i hav many things nga giconsider, 1. salary 2. benefits 3. location. in addition, my field of xpertise ky sa technical side. pwede ask ninu ug advycs which is which?

the salary for this job is lower than 15k but more than 10k. the recruitment lady told me kanina kasi she was surprised why i was applying for such position. day shift ni cya, 9am to 6pm fixed. i'll give it a try pa rin kasi ok yung time, not the salary. at least i'll have more time in studying web design and dev further.

yes. english sa interview since its an american company. about indesign, i was told by the recruitment lady that we wont be handling advanced indesignh features kay readily made na ang mga documents. ill be taking the exam tomorrow at 9am and she gave me tip that it has nothing to do with indesign, more on word docs formatting and reading comprehension, you will just be assess if kahaibalo ka follow simple instructions.

just left xlibris today, after 3 years with sales.

if you're with cs-- you get paid 22k. this is nightshift.

if you're with production-- you get paid 15k+ i think. this is dayshift.

if you're with sales, they really pay well. now i'm here to give you a good idea as to how doable it is and not to expect too much from it.

in sales, you could be in publishing and marketing.

with publishing, 30k+ is doable maybe in your 3rd month on the floor, that's if you're good. in a month, around 30 out of 100 publishing consultants earn more than that amount.

not to boast, but, again, just to give you an idea about your earning potential, i have been with publishing, and for the past three years, i earn 80k/month. i belong to the top 10 consultants though.

so for the ones who belong to the top 11-50, they earn around 30k+ a month.

with marketing, 100k+ is currently doable by around 20+ marketing consultants.

people earning 500k+ in a month is no surprise as well, but this probably is done by 2-3 marketing consultants in a month.

you don't get to choose between the two though. the approach of selling is different between both departments as well.

so, if you're looking for money and want to risk stability, go for sales.

if you want stability at night shifts and a basic pay of 22k a month, go for CS.

if you want a dayshift job, go for production.
