HRIS Prototype Proposal ENHANCED.

We had already finished our 'enhanced' HRIS Prototype Proposal and we are planning to have our second consulation to Sir Gamboa this Monday. We actually planned to have our second consultation last thursday or friday, but since Sir Gamboa posted that the consultation will be continued on Monday we have no choice but to have the consultation this coming Monday.

We are aware that bunch of people will also have a consultation this Monday so my groupmates and I agreed to arrive at school early so that we can have our consultation early as well. Our consultation, we hope, will only take more or less 10 minutes-- since we just need the approval of Sir about the enhancement we made. If Sir gives his nod to our HRIS Prototype Proposal then we will hardbound it immediately.hehe..!

By the way, Sir had already posted our grades outside the faculty. As expected the final grade(overall/average grade) of all students under his HRM class were graded INC. For those people who doesn't know what INC stands for, well INC means INCOMPLETE. We were all graded INC because no one yet had passed their proposal(hardbounded and approved). We're hoping that by this coming week we will be able to pass our HRIS Prototype Proposal to finally have our grades.^^

Prayers will surely be appreciated..^^ Thanks.^^

HRIS Protoype Proposal...accepted!

Finally! After the loooooooooong wait, we finally had our VERY FIRST consultation on our proposal yesterday. For several times we waited to have our consultation and failed. We have a very perfect timing, because when it's already our turn Sir Gamboa's time for consultation will also end. Great..just great..!

Just like yesterday morning, we waited for the other groups-- who arrived earlier than us -- to finish their consultation. Just when the group before us finished their consultation, since we were the next, we went inside Sir Gamboa's office. What welcomed us inside the office was the sign "Please don't disturb." Although downhearted, one of my groupmates couragely asked if what time would he (Sir Gamboa) continue the consultation but Sir just pointed to the sign. We went out of the office thinking how cruel the timing is..hehehe.

In the afternoon, Tina and I attended our OR class. After our class our group planned to research on how to make a cable tester --since my groupmates on HRM are also my groupmates on DataComm. Lucky we were because during the afternoon Sir was already available for consultation and there were only few groups waiting. We were entertained first..Yipeee..! "At last we will have our FIRST EVER CONSULTATION" my mind murmured..hehe.

During the consultation I was very nervous because Sir kept on giving corrections on our Introduction, but as the pages went by and Sir saw our HRIS proposed prototype for the company we adopted...we were so happy to hear from him that our proposal was quite fine. And here's another...he graded it 2.5..whew..! Our proposal was graded immediately and according to him we were the first group to be graded because other groups were just 75% completed or a percent completed but not really graded. Hmmm..it's worth the wait...heheh..

But Sir told us that if we want to increase the grade of our proposal we should apply the things that he had suggested. And since we wanted to have a higher grade, we will implement Sir's suggestion. We started making it immediately and as usual, we went home at dawn-- 1:00 am--. hehe..

It has been a while since the last time I updated my blog and it bothers me. So now I'm going to inform you about the remarkable things that happened to our group, as well as the development of our proposal, during the past days.

September 24, 2008

We revisited the HRDD of USeP to have our assignment answered..hehe. Maam Marivic is the head of the HRDD so we asked her about her viewpoints in the nature, scope and role of HRM, which she gladly answered. Hmmm..I passed the assignment a bit late because I forgot the date of the deadline.peace..!^^

By the way, on September 24, 2008 we spent our night at McDo..Where we can freely charge our laptops..hehe..We continued making our proposal there. Below are some pics of our night-to-dawn stay there..hehe.

We were still in Jealou's apartment because it's still early.

Jealou and Tina making the paperworks..While Edsa and I with the prototype.

It's time to pack up... 'coz its already 2:22 in the morning. ^^

September 19, 2008

It was Athina's birthday and considered that day as our HOLIDAY. Instead of making our proposal we went to PP (People's Park) and celebrate Tina's birthday. I went home early...as in early in the morning..hehe..I think, it was already 1 in the morning when I arrived at home.hehe..^^

----HAPPY TINA..!-----

Why Happy Tina? Hmm, one of our classmate texted Tina something like this :"Belated Tina...".. We wondered what's belated Tina? you know, belated what?... Well, our classmate really means "belated happy birthday Tina.".. And that started the "HAPPY TINA". bow...

September 16-18,2008

We had our documentation and we also made our HRIS prototype using Microsoft Visual FoxPro. At first, I really thought it would be easy making the prototype but (whew!) I was really wrong..! Hmmm... We spent more than a day making our prototype.

hmm...Look at our face, it's so bright! hehe..

the drafts..

September 15, 2008

As remembered last September 12, 2008 we interviewed Maam Evelyn and we also had some screenshots of their HRIS. The following day, we made partial documentations on our proposal based on their current HRIS. But since we found their HRIS almost complete and functional, we had a hard time thinking what should be enhanced. So we decided to visit their department on the following monday (Sept. 15,2008).

On Sept. 15,2008 we had our interview with Maam Marivic. Maam Marivic referred us to Mr. Delfin A. Garzon (Kuya Jun) who explained to us everything about their HRIS. We were so glad not only because he had clearly defined almost all of the components of their HRIS but also because he allowed us to browse their HRIS (with his guidance).

After examining their HRIS, we discovered that the only defect that their HRIS has, is the reports or the printing of the information. Below is the screenshot of their HRIS Queries, which should print everything that the user has checked. (untitled3.bmp) If an option is checked in the 'Column Result' it should also be printed..and here goes the problem. Because the 'Column Result' doesn't function at all..! We were told that even if you check all of the options, it will still not be printed. We eventually included the functionality of that, in our HRIS Proposal.^^

Our Interview (1)

Last Tuesday Maam Marivic told us to come back at their office today to grant our requested interview. And here is what happened.

We went at their office (HRDD) at almost 3:00 pm since Maam Marivic told us to come back around that time. When we entered in the HRDD office we greeted the staffs and told them that we have an appointment with Maam Marivic, but to our disappointment Maam Marivic is absent today.

Fortunately, the Administrative Assistant II of HRDD -- Maam Evelyn del Rosario -- kindly entertained us. She answered our questions with all her might (hehe^^). And we discovered that Maam Evelyn is actually the One in-charged with the HRIS as well as their Payrolls.

Wow..Just the right person we need for our HRIS Proposal !

She allowed us to have a snapshot of their HRIS, but not of their Payroll Database. And we clearly understand why.Hehe...Is it in the Payroll that the salary of the teachers are shown?hehe..

She told us that she is also the one who proposed to the Institute of Computing for them to have an HRIS and which was eventually granted.

My groupmates and I will come back their this coming Monday, hoping to see Maam Marivic. Because there are still questions that wasn't answered by Maam Evelyn since she, herself, told us that those things (questions) can be best answered by Maam Marivic.

Our group is so thankful that we finally had an eye on their HRIS. We really thought that the database they have is only on the Payroll, but we that's certainly a mistake. And yeah, Maam Tamara Cher Mercado made their HRIS.^^

After our intervew with Maam Evelyn, we immediately assigned different tasks to each of us.

Mam Marivic is back..!

Yesterday we went to the Human Resource and Development Department of our University --since our adopted institution for our study in HRM is our university. We went their to have an interview with Maam Marivic, the Administrative Officer of HRDD, but unfortunately she's busy because she had just arrrived from Laguna and is still stuck with her paperworks.

And for that reason, she can't entertain us this week, so we asked if she could assign someone else under her department to answer our queries instead. Maam Marivic gave us a nod (*_^) and told us to come back on Friday 3:00 pm. ^^

What a week...!

The previous week was INDEED a WEEK, because it made me WEAK...!
Just yesterday our ICEAN Festival ended. And our team, The Black Firebirds, was declared as the overall CHAMPION!Yeepppeee!

But before that day (and I literally mean the days before that day), my groupmates (in HRM class) and I were so busy making our gantt chart. We should have made our gantt chart earlier since it was announced more than 3 weeks ago, but then, we were not so resourceful in gathering information about making a gantt chart.(Excuses..hehe!)

At last we started making our gantt chart!
Last Tuesday we looked for a software that will help us construct our gantt chart. After we found one, the Microsoft Visio, we immediately made our gantt chart. But making our gantt chart wasn't easy (it's harder than just typing! hehe!), because nobody in our group was acquainted with Microsoft Visio. For us to be motivated to explore the world of Microsoft Visio we planned to have a dinner at Jollibee. And that plan worked! Because before that night ended, we already finished our Gantt Chart.

Here's a snapshot while we were making our gantt chart using Microsoft Visio.

The next day, I was so excited because we will be passing our gantt chart, but when I arrived at school we encountered some problems such as:

1. Our gantt chart doesn't look like the gantt charts that were posted. Although the tasks as well as the timeline is obviously fine to be different, the legend and the physical view of our gantt chart seems a little odd.

2. It's hard to print the gantt chart in Visio.

That's when we knew that they have used Microsoft Project instead of Visio. We were all sooooo disappointed. huhuhu..! But we were left with no choice, so we shifted to Microsoft Project (finding the software wasn't hard, since we immediately worked on it). Even though we need to start back to zero, the work was finished that night. And we were all sure that it will be printed and will have the look like the others (with a nice legend, hehehe!).

Here's a snapshot while we were making our gantt chart in Microsoft Project! ^^

Here comes Thursday...
We were all prepared to pass our gantt chart...until... we heard that Sir Gamboa is not around. Geeeee....hehehe, no worries (chix!) ! We left it on his table, and then the job was done. (We were actually nervous that Sir might not approve it.^^)

On Friday...
It was the opening of our Festival. We were still nervous of the result of our gantt chart. But at last!!! It was approved, and so we posted it.!!!Yehey!Yehey! yEHEY!!!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We made our gantt chart as a part of making our HRIS Proposal. Making our gantt chart is a way for us to organize the steps we will do to finish our HRIS Proposal. Because of it we had clearly pictured out the things we will do, and I hope we can really do! ^_^

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Groupmates, we can do this! We will pass this subject!!!! hehehe!!!!

Thanks to all!!!!

p.s.
I ask an apology to my English teachers.
You are all good, the problem lies in me. ^^
Peace yowwww...!!!!

BPO-HR Forum

Yesterday at Sanguniang Panlungsod ng Davao I attended the BPO-HR and Recruitment Forum. Actually, my classmates were also there and sad to say, if we were not there, the organizers of that forum will be disappointed. Why? Simply because we were so few. And as far as my memory is concern, there were only 5 people whom I am not acquainted to and the rest are my classmates. Oh, well maybe they had a lot of participants during their morning session because I arrived there by 1pm, so I don't know. My observation was just during the afternoon..hehe^^.

People had taken that event for granted. Because even though we were just few, the speakers were so good! It was a very informative forum. I haven't just learned that differently-abled people can study stuffs about technology but also I learned that they can also excel in that field. The very first speaker in that afternoon was Mr. Ralph Kiri-kiri, he is a differently-abled person, in particular, visually impaired. But don't you misjudge him because he is a Medical Transcriptionist. Do you know what that job is?How hard that job is? Huh..! It is a very tough job, I'll bet. I had undergone their (MTC Academy) simulation, and geee... It was so hard! I can't understand clearly what I was hearing! Come to think of it, I wrote 'star mycology' for a 'pharmacology'..! Wow..!(How deaf I am!)

Back to the real star, Mr. Kiri-kiri, he is a model for those like him and a bullet for those 'Juan Tamad' out there . (let me pull the trigger for you..hehe! I'll be shot too.) After his speech, Sir Gamboa asked some people from e-telecare (Maam Karol) and SUREcruit (Maam Laurence)to orient us or give some information about their company and let us ask some questions regarding their Human Resource. It was never boring, I just had a NOSEBLEED! hmmpp.. The speakers speak so good in English, no wonder they work in a call center.

Well, here are some of the things I have learned from the Call Center Agent Speakers:

•During job interviews always be confident

•If you'll be ask about yourself you're answer can be the summary of your resume

•e-telecare doesn't hire part-timers/students..^^

Oh yeah...Before I forget there was also a very good Madam who encourages us (the participants) to ask questions and she even ask things to the speaker, that we are the one who can benefit. She is Maam WIT.^^

I want to thank Mr. Kiri-kiri, Maam Karol, Maam Laurence and Maam Wit for their informative speeches. And of course I also want to thank our HRM Instructor who informed us about the forum, Sir Randy Gamboa. Thanks!

p.s.This is my first time to update things..hehe! ☻
