Newsdig coverage by Cbanga360.net

Allow us to indulge on the newest hit tele-serye of Philippine’s GMA television network.

Inteviewer: Your last job experience was twelve years ago?

Sandra: At the Almares Hotel, Sir. While I was single, I worked there for two years as waitress.

Interviewer; O, you have a husband, why would you like to work (find job)? Why, is your husband jobless?

Sandra: Ahm, He left us already. Sir, don’t be bothered about my kids, I brought them here because I fetched them from school. But once I start working here I will leave them at my neighbor.

Interviewer: But … you did’t finish your high school

Sandra: I’m just applying as waitress, Sir.

Interviewer: I understand, but since there are too many college graduates in this time where there are not too many job openings, who do you think will I hire, even if you’re applying for a waitress position, one who finished college or one who did not?
