[boytanga]

good morning mga bro, nindot ba ang xlibris?

[ai_ai_zap]

wala jud na'y hope ang xlibris, labi na na si madam nga mo-final interview nimo, after going through 5 interview and a gruelling exam, dawat na jud unta ka if makaabot ka sa last interview, naghilas-hilas pa man to siya ingon nako nga "when can you start to report for work?" ako ingnan nga "tomorrow" jud dayon. na-shock siya, niingon lang dayon siya " i'll text you". hantod karon, mga 2 buwan na nilabay, wa jud text naabot.

This is true jud. I had a very funny experience pag-apply nako dha. Nag-apply ko with my friend, and then okay ra man unta sa initial interview, nakapasar mi..we're told na i-forward mi sa next interview, ang ilaha daw "head" sa HR named Nina. So we got very excited coz gipabalik gud mi pagkahapon. 2PM daw amo unterview, we've been waiting for 1 hour kay na-arrive siya 3PM na.. (Imagina, unprofessional kaayo) and she's only wearing short pants and a pair of slippers, naka-tshirt pa yata siya. At first, okay pa kaayo iya mood nag-interview sa first interviewee, and we've learned na maka-proceed sila to the next phase.and after 45 mins, we noticed na gikapoy na siya, naglean na lang siya sa table while asking questions and she seemed not listening to what we're saying. Nagscribble2x ra siya sa amo application forms, warag blank iya mind, and then iya questions kay balik2x ra sa mga gipang-ask sa iya mga kauban, very the same ra jud. After that kadtong mga na-interview after 4PM kay wala diay nadawat, iya ra ming gi-ingnan na "We'll just call you."

Mao to.. makawala ug gana.. unprofessional jud kaayo si madame...

BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY JANUARY 8, 2009, 8:37 P.M. ET Print-on-Demand Publishers Marry As Author Solutions Buys Xlibris Article

more in Tech »By JEFFREY A. TRACHTENBERG
Author Solutions Inc., one of the country's biggest print-on-demand publishers, has agreed to acquire rival Xlibris, further consolidating the self-publishing niche.

The purchase price wasn't disclosed.

Author Solutions, of Bloomington, Ind., operates AuthorHouse and iUniverse and is owned by Bertram Capital Management LLC, a private-equity firm in San Mateo, Calif. Author Solutions estimates that the three publishers together put out 19,000 titles in 2008.

Print-on-demand publishers take manuscripts from authors, edit them, market them and place them in stores and for sale online, in exchange for payment. The chief advantage for writers is that digital printing technology enables the publishers to print as few copies as one at a time. On its Web site, Xlibris, which was founded in 1997 and is based in Philadelphia, says it has more than 20,000 titles in print from more than 15,000 authors.

"Xlibris offers leading-edge marketing tools for authors that we will now be able to offer our writers as well," said Kevin Weiss, president and CEO of Author Solutions.

John Feldcamp, Xlibris's CEO, couldn't be reached for comment. Mr. Weiss said Mr. Feldcamp is expected to remain with the company during a transition period. "This is a friendly transaction," Mr. Weiss said.

Investors in Xlibris include Bertelsmann AG's Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments, which holds a significant stake in the business. "We're very pleased with the sale," said Richard Sarnoff, president of the investment arm.

Other rivals in the print-on-demand space include closely held Lulu Enterprises Inc.'s Lulu.com, based in Raleigh, N.C. Last October, Lulu laid off 24 employees, including its president, or nearly 25% of its work force.
