Before, Applying; Now, Hiring: the Tutorial Business Experience

It has been a long time since I actually applied for a real job and got interviewed. The last time I did so was when I applied and got hired in Math Coach last June 2008. I candidly remembered the times when I was interviewed: by the Science and Mathematics editors in Phoenix Publishing House in August 2002; in front of a panel of familiar professors at the Institute of Mathematics in May 2003; in Adamson University and Don Bosco - Mandaluyong in May 2008; and with Sir Paolo David in Math Coach.

While have a decent job and earning a decent amount from it is fine, especially in these
difficult times of rising oil prices and other economic uncertainties, it would also be nice
if I can have something to earn from aside from doing tutorials and selling e-loads....

Now, after a long time of wishing, hoping, praying, and planning, it's now my turn to be
part of hiring and interviewing people....

I got to finally talk to and brainstorm with fellow lector Ate Boots Concepcion last night
about our long-anticipated and delayed plan: setting up a small tutorial group that will
cater to residents of her village (I will withhold the location first until we finish
planning everything). It was a really long and tiring planning session since we need to plan
out things right away because of Ate Boots' current circumstances and busy schedule.

I am really looking forward to our joint venture together since, for one, we have talked
about it a long time ago (hmm... about 2 or 3 years ago). Also, Ate Boots has long been
planning to have a small business to support her and her family because of her family
circumstances. As for myself, it will be my first time to delve into a REAL business venture
- and something that's actually related to my career and calling!

I'm just really hoping and praying that our joint efforts will succeed. While it's still a
business and we need to earn from it, I also want it to be something that we can enjoy doing
- with Ate Boots and all those that will join us.

Wish us the best of luck ^__^

P.S. For those who are interested in helping or joining us, you can e-mail me at
gjnabueg@yahoo.com or Mrs. Boots Concepcion at bootcee2@yahoo.com. We will hire tutors first, then someone to help us with the accounting, and other staff in the future - if we become big time. Professional partners are also welcome. Cash is also good (joke) :p
