MY JOURNAL

JULY 2008

We were to adopt a company for our case study in Human Resource Management as our project. I really do not know what our case study would be all about and what we are going to do when we visit our adopted company. However, we were given a course outline that we can use as a guide for our topic to be shared to the class at the end of the month or in the first week of August maybe, because of that, I was able to get an idea about what our case study be.

After having more or less 15 letters signed by our professor, dean and finally, director of the Office of The Student Services, we went to several companies to give our letter asking permission to conduct a case study for the company. We really had a hard time waiting and calling them for our letters to be approved. We were desperate then and continued giving more letters to different companies, but after 2-3 weeks, we finally received a positive reply - an approval from the Synnex-Concentrix Corporation located at Damosa IT- Park, Lanang Davao City.

When we were giving letters to the companies, what I have in mind is that I am applying for a job even though I am just going to conduct a study. Moreover, I realized how difficult it is to apply for a job.

Finally, we went to Concentrix and made an interview with Mr. Lou Joe S. Cainday of the Human Resource – Organizational Development. We had a nice time talking to him. He gave us a lot of information about their company – I will not enumerate because it is too many to mention. However, he did not share any information which were too confidential for their company and unfortunately, we were not allowed to observe their HRIS since everything that were encoded in the system are highly confidential. Nevertheless, we were thankful for letting us spend a time with them. We even got a chance to take a tour inside their office.
