MANILA, Philippines Looking for a job or specialization that pays well? The latest
report of an online job search site listed the top 10 highest-paying ones that might
suit you.
According to the Annual Salary Report 2015 of Jobstreet.com Philippines,
employees who specialize in IT-software and in IT-network or database
administration receive the highest average monthly salaries, placing consistently in
the top two across 3 position levels.
Jobstreet.com Philippines released the report to "help candidates and employees
gauge if they are getting paid competitively, while advising them of which jobs are
generous in terms of compensation."
Among junior executives, or those with one to 4 years of work experience,
practitioners of law or legal services, actuarial science, and electronics and
communications engineering join the IT specialists in the top 5 best-paid

The report was based on actual salaries offered by employers in their job postings
on jobstreet.com.ph from October 1 to December 31, 2014.
The salaries exclude other forms of compensation, like leave credits, medical
benefits, insurance, and incentives.
Jobstreet.com Philippines also shifted its approach to listing down the top-paying
specializations in this year's report, from ranking the top-paying industries last
year.
"After all," it said, "the first thing Filipinos consider when looking for a job is the fit
between the available opportunity to their field of study, skills, and interests."

Sometimes we hit the end of the road and neither the service provider nor you are
willing to budge. And the only thing left is to file a complaint with upper
management in the hope that you would receive an apology and an offered
solution.
In early 2014, I got into an argument with the manager of a certain Mercury Drug
branch. When I asked what their complaint procedure was, she openly said that
they had none. Finally, she retracted and told me she would be willing to accept a
complaint letter in person and send it to upper management. Surely the biggest
pharmacy in the country could set up an independent e-mail where customers
need not worry that the only evidence of their complaint resides in the palms of the
very person they are complaining about?
2. Its not my department policy (therefore not my problem)
Nothing else screams lack of company unity more than passing on the buck or
blaming another sector in the very same company you are talking to. Oftentimes,
these problems could easily be rectified through simple organization skills, but

Have you ever been told to follow up something with the store or service provider
only to discover that you have to follow up the follow-up you already made?
Whether its a simple question on what time Sky Cable would come by to fix your
cable or to follow up the warranty of a product you bought from Lazada, everyone
has at least experienced being told to frequently call to inquire about the status of
whatever it is we were waiting for.
Being told to follow up anything is already a blatant admission that whatever it is
we are waiting for is probably going to be late. Some tell us they guarantee they
will call us within a specific time but end up not doing so.
To this day, I never got a reply from Mercury Drug even after I published an essay
in the Inquirer about it and submitted it to the very manager I was complaining
about. She guaranteed I would get some form of response, not even a
guaranteed apology, just a response.
4. Not honoring warranty

When you buy any kind of electronic device, inside the box youll find your gadget
and some documents. Most often than not, all of them come with a tiny warranty
guide booklet.
I bought an HTC phone abroad and noticed that the screen seemed to be
defective. I dug up my receipt and brought the warranty guide with me to the HTC
service center in Makati. They refused to honor the warranty because they only
honor warranties for phones purchased in the Philippines.
I called the HTC hotline and asked the operator to get a copy of the warranty guide
for their phones. He told me he didnt have a copy. I told him there is a copy on
their website which we read together. It said: warranty for this device shall be
honored wherever this product is sold globally. In spite of that, he couldnt
guarantee they would honor the warranty and that such a decision needs to be
decided upon by upper management.
Three weeks later and after a grueling amount of follow-up calls I was able to get
the phone repaired for free.

Most of the time, we dont want a sack of money. Nor do we want a business or
any employee to go under just because we feel our concerns were mismanaged.
And the sad truth is that good customer service could extinguish 90% of the
frustration caused by the latter and other unmentioned inadequacies if businesses
were more open to saying sorry.
Businesses are either afraid to allow their employees to admit fault or simply say
"sorry". Whether it is the lack of an apology or an insincere one, consumers will be
more than willing to forget headaches already suffered if there is a decent appeal
to our forgiving human nature.
What is the best part of implementing this policy? Its free.
Finally, consumers should never act like a mob. Businesses arent expected to
always get it right all the time. But we should always be polite even as we're
