Career experts recommend that job candidates use adjectives during interviews to demonstrate their skills and accomplishments. Savvy interviewers will evaluate your intelligence, cognitive skills and attitude by the words you use. They can also determine how much you know about the job or industry through these adjectives. Incorporate some of these common adjectives when asked to list key skills or strengths during interviews. Convert some of them to action verbs when discussing past projects, as this can enhance your chance of getting the job.

CommunicativeCommunication is by far the most important skill employers desire in candidates, according to Quintessential Careers. Professionals in any career must know how to speak, write and listen effectively to perform their jobs. When initially relating this skill to employers, indicate how communicative you've been in dealing with past subordinates and managers. Use action verbs when discussing specifics about projects. For example, tell the interviewer you communicated regularly with marketing and advertising managers in previous jobs. Action verbs are more concise and impactful and tend to flow better when relating past experiences.

OrganizedYou must be organized on a job to plan projects, delegate tasks and ensure you complete work on time. You can also tell your interviewer you have organizational skills, which is another highly desirable trait in the workforce. Both forms of the word can be used as adjectives. Organized is also an action verb you can use to elaborate on your background. For example, you might say, "I organized company seminars as a way to grow our customer base."

FlexiblePeople who are flexible can better adapt to challenges on jobs and take on more responsibilities. Whether you are a doctor, teacher or business executive, your workplace is constantly changing, and you must hone old skills and adopt new ones to change with it.

CommittedStress that you are committed to companies you interview with. Most companies don't hire workers for short-term stints. They want you to be dedicated to your job and eventually advance into higher level positions. Employers spend lots of money to recruit and hire employees, and prefer keeping turnover down.

CompetentA competent employee is one who fully understands his job and can contribute to a company's success. You can best demonstrate competence during interviews by relating your experience to that of available jobs. However, preface your comments by saying you've been highly competent throughout your career.

PersistentInterviewers might sense you are persistent when you convince them why they should hire you. Still, it can't hurt to mention this adjective during the interview to describe yourself and explain how you typically do anything possible to complete assignments.

RecognizedDuring an interview, you might preface comments about results, awards or achievements by saying you've been recognized for exceptional work in past jobs. Employers like candidates who were considered stars by past employers, according to "Business News Daily."

ImpactfulEmployers want to know you've made an impact in past jobs, whether you increased sales by 15 percent as a sales rep or achieved the state's highest grades as a middle school teacher. The word impactful can be a bit awkward but you only need to use it once -- before discussing your litany of accomplishments

“I am someone who…”:

1. “can adapt to any situation. I thrive in a fluctuating environment and I transform unexpected obstacles into stepping stones for achievements.”

2. “consistently innovates to create value. I find opportunities where other people see none: I turn ideas into projects, and projects into serial success.”

3. “has a very creative mind. I always have a unique perspective when approaching an issue due to my broad range of interests and hobbies. Creativity is the source of differentiation and therefore, at the root of competitive advantage.”

4. “always has an eye on my target. I endeavour to deliver high-quality work on time, every time. Hiring me is the only real guarantee for results.”

5. “knows this job inside and out. With many years of relevant experience, there is no question whether I will be efficient on the job. I can bring the best practices to the company.”

6. “has a high level of motivation to work here. I have studied the entire company history and observed its business strategies. Since I am also a long-time customer, I took the opportunity to write this report with some suggestions for how to improve your services.”

7. “has a pragmatic approach to things. I don’t waste time talking about theory or the latest buzz words of the bullshit bingo. Only one question matters to me: ‘Does it work or not?'”

8. “takes work ethics very seriously. I do what I am paid for, and I do it well.”

9. “can make decisions rapidly if needed. Everybody can make good decisions with sufficient time and information. The reality of our domain is different. Even with time pressure and high stakes, we need to move forward by taking charge and being decisive. I can do that.”

10. “is considered to be ‘fun.’ I believe that we are way more productive when we are working with people with which we enjoy spending time. When the situation gets tough with a customer, a touch of humour can save the day.”

11. “works as a real team-player. I bring the best out of the people I work with and I always do what I think is best for the company.”

12. “is completely autonomous. I won’t need to be micromanaged. I won’t need to be trained. I understand high-level targets and I know how to achieve them.”

13. “leads people. I can unite people around a vision and motivate a team to excellence. I expect no more from the others than what I expect from myself.”

14. “understands the complexity of advanced project management. It’s not just pushing triangles on a GANTT chart; it’s about getting everyone to sit down together and to agree on the way forward. And that’s a lot more complicated than it sounds.”

15. “is the absolute expert in the field. Ask anybody in the industry. My name is on their lips because I wrote THE book on the subject.”

16. “communicates extensively. Good, bad or ugly, I believe that open communication is the most important factor to reach an efficient organization.”

17. “works enthusiastically. I have enough motivation for myself and my department. I love what I do, and it’s contagious.”

18. “has an eye for details because details matter the most. How many companies have failed because of just one tiny detail? Hire me and you’ll be sure I’ll find that detail.”

19. “can see the big picture. Beginners waste time solving minor issues. I understand the purpose of our company, tackle the real subjects and the top management will eventually notice it.”

20. “is not like anyone you know. I am the candidate you would not expect. You can hire a corporate clone, or you can hire someone who will bring something different to the company. That’s me. “

Um..

The biggest problem with this word is that you’re probably unaware of how much you use it.If you listened to a recording of yourself, you’d probably be surprised (and probably horrified) at the amount of “umming” you do.Unfortunately, this makes you look less polished during a job interview.One of the best ways to remove this filler from your vocabulary is to let your friends and family know that you want their help and they can profit from it. Tell them that you’ll pay a dollar to every person who catches you using it.

Kinda.

Not only does this word make you sound like a teenager, it also introduces vagueness into your answers.To make sure you come across confident and mature, replace “kinda” with clear “yes” or “no”. Follow your answer with a clear reason why you’ve taken that position.

Hate.

Nobody likes a hater. When a hiring manager or recruiter hears you say that word, they hear “high risk candidate”.Avoid aiming this word at anyone or anything during your job interview. This includes “pet hates”, as well as feelings towards companies, ex-colleagues and – especially – bosses you’ve had.

Any Curse Word

Even if you think the company culture might find such words acceptable, don’t risk it at the interview stage.You’re risking coming across as unprofessional and crass. ‘Nuff said.

Perfectionist

This is the most popular among overused, meaningless cliches.There was a time when “I’m a perfectionist” was a clever way to get out of a question about your weaknesses. These days, any interviewer worth their salt will see through this ploy and cringe on the inside at your answer (and maybe on the outside, as well).

Basically

It’s tempting to use this word as a prelude to your achievements. For example, “Basically, I was responsible for flying the capsule to the Moon and back.”Unfortunately, doing this also diminishes you. So, unless you’re Buzz Aldrin, skip it and launch straight into your answer.

I

In today’s culture-centric employment world, you’re only as good as your ability to work as part of a team.While competitiveness is a great trait to demonstrate, overusing sentences like “I was the top salesperson in my company” can give off the impression that you’ll take it too far, pushing your colleagues down and aside in order to get to the top.By all means, brandish your achievements, but let your interviewer know what that meant for the team and/or the company. For example, “I was the top salesperson in my last role during 2013, which meant I was able to exceed my targets by $1.2 million during that year.”

Sure

It’s tempting to use this word to communicate “it’s almost a yes.”However, doing this also chips away at your ability to appear confident. Just as with “Kinda” above, it’s best to remove any ambiguity about where you stand.Use a firm “yes” or “no” instead, expanding on your position if necessary by providing reasons and examples.

Amazing

This is a word which is often used as a filler to convey positivity. The hiring manager might say, for example, “We just spent $20 million on a brand new office fit-out.”Instead of blurting out “Amazing!” to validate that choice, take a moment to think about the reasons behind such a move and provide analysis which the interviewer would find relevant. For example: “That must have done wonders for employee satisfaction.”

Whatever

“Whatever” is usually used to communicate that you’ve given up. It shows that you lost power and withdrew from the issue, instead of achieving an outcome which you found satisfactory.It also makes you sound immature and dismissive – using it will communicate to the interviewer that you’re trouble.

Stuff

Not only is this word overly casual in tone, it introduces ambiguity into your answers.It can be tempting end your answer with it when you’re struggling to add detail – for example, “You now – stuff like that.” Doing sufficient research and practicing your answers will reduce that desire. Your interviewer doesn’t, in fact, know – they want to hear it from you in detail.

Dedicated

In today’s job market, everyone is dedicated. It’s no longer a differentiating feature.It’s also a hollow, overused cliche which shows that you probably copied your answers from the Internet, rather than preparing sufficiently for the interview by thinking about the role and your career.Demonstrate to your interviewer that you’re dedicated by talking about your achievements

Motivated

This also includes synonymous buzz-words like “self-starter” and “enthusiastic.”You might think that you’re telling your interviewer that you don’t need a babysitter, but all they’re thinking at that moment is “Thanks for the obvious. You’re wasting my time.” You might as well tell them that you have a pulse.

Learn

Don’t ever tell your interviewer that you’re applying for a job to “learn.”It’s true that you’re expected to learn, but the primary motivation for applying should be your your ability to contribute something to the company that no-one else can.

Fired

You want to avoid this word at all costs. It can contextualize you in the interviewer’s mind as a troublemaker, and once that context is set, everything positive about you will be diminished and everything negative will be amplified.Having been fired doesn’t automatically put you into the “no” pile. However, not being able to talk about it diplomatically will.If you were fired due to under-performance, use the words “let go” instead. Explain how you used the experience to become a better employee. “I’m glad it happened because I needed to become a better marketer. In my next role I created a direct response campaign which exceeded the targets by 20%.”

The Best Answers to the 7 Worst Interview QuestionsWorkby Katherine Eion

Interviews can be very discomforting. Of course, the interviewee wants to put forward the best possible answers to even the toughest questions. And answering difficult questions on the fly can be problematic. Fortunately, great answers to troublesome questions can be rehearsed and considered long before that important interview. Here’s how.

1. Tell me about yourself.

Here you want to squeeze in every possible strength and potential contributions you can make to the company without being long-winded. The interviewer is far more interested in how the question is responded to, that is, whether or not the answer is said with sincere enthusiasm. Begin with a quote from a person you admire that sums up what you believe to be true about yourself to answer the question quickly and concisely .Encapsulate the answer into a one-minute presentation of your professional achievements. Did you have a job that relates to the position you are seeking? Hit the interviewer with your unique achievements and contributions to the company’s bottom line. If there are no comparable jobs in your past, explain why you are interested in the position.

2. Tell me about an instance where you failed or did something you are ashamed of.

Among the many questions that can be asked, this is one of the most dreaded. The fundamental key here is to turn that failure into a success. Take a moment to reflect as if you weren’t expecting the question. Say that as a human being you are as prone to mistakes as anyone else; however you have no regrets—even if you do (and most of us do), don’t admit them. This is not a confessional.Tell the interviewer that in those instances where you have made a mistake with a coworker, you have admitted your mistake. You went back to the person and apologized and started again. Say that you prefer to keep things out in the open and you, personally, make a point to communicate about any experienced problems on both sides of the table.

3. What is your biggest weakness, that’s really a weakness, and not a secret strength.This is a gotcha question if there ever was one. No chance here to flip the question to a strength, such as, “I’m a workaholic” or “I tend to take my work home with me.” What to do? Instead, show that you recognize your weaknesses and make every effort to address them. For example, “I tend to be very demanding of others, but I am learning that everyone has their own unique gifts.”Now is the opportunity to address any gaps in your resume. Tell the interviewer that you may not have direct experience in an area, but related experience such as fund-raising in place of sales experience. Say that in recognition of your weakness at say, public speaking, you have volunteered to come forward in team leadership roles.

4. Have you ever been fired? If so, why?

Refrain from making previous bosses or companies look bad. You come off as being bitter, blaming of others, and irresponsible. None of which you wish to convey to a new company. Make an admission, such as, telling the interviewer that you were inexperienced in communicating with your boss about teamwork. This way you acknowledge what happened and that you learned from the experience.Say that you simply were not a good fit for the company, and before you had the opportunity to excel, you were let go. Or inform the interviewer that you didn’t fully understand your previous boss’s expectations and you both agreed that it was time to leave. Or, perhaps a new manager came on board and he wanted to bring in member from his old team before getting to know you.

5. Why are you willing to accept an entry level position at this point in your career?

The interviewer can’t or shouldn’t point directly at your age as a reason not to hire you. So the question may be asked in this manner. Tell the interviewer that it is the broad experience outside of the field that makes you the right fit. Your career experiences have prepared you to begin a career again in a brand new field.Emphasize the quality that you enter the field with fresh new eyes and perspective. This opportunity also provides you with the advantage of learning about the company from the inside-out and the ground up. Tell the interviewer that the salary cut is worth it to you to start anew. Say that your experiences have made you reliable and prepared to go all out in the new position.

6. How do you explain the gaps in your resume?

It’s almost a surprise that this question still comes up. Especially in light of the fact that companies have not been hiring for the last few years or that a person may have taken time to be with young children or an illness may have prevented someone from working. This is a good time to refer to your references—people who can verify that you were perhaps, self-employed for a time �or otherwise disengaged.Be honest, but again, turn the weakness to a strength. Say, “In the time I have been out of the marketplace, I have better honed my skills in communication.” Emphasize that while you have been unemployed you have been far from idle, but have been keeping up with the job market or your profession in other ways.

7. Tell me about a time when a co-worker was not doing their fair share of work. How did you handle the situation.

The way that you have dealt with a difficult co-worker is emblematic of how you deal with difficult people and potentially hard-to-handle customers. Cast the problem in the best possible light by suggesting that the co-worker was dealing with a particularly bad personal situation and that you were glad to step in and help as you were able.Let the interviewer know that you talked with the co-worker, in order to clear the air and avoid hiding resentment. This clearly shows that you are willing to deal with the difficulty, instead of suffering in silence. The example also clearly exemplifies the fact that you are a people person and willing to work through a very difficult situation.

BDO, BPI and Metrobank

BDO, BPI and Metrobank are the biggest commercial and universal banks in the Philippines. Each one has its own strengths, so not one of the three, to my mind, can categorically claim that it's the most powerful bank in the country.

BPI, Metrobank and other banks, however, can't but agree that BDO has been the fastest-growing bank since BDO was acquired from its original owners by the biggest shopping mall operator in the country.

To ordinary people like me, however, the best banks are the ones that:

offer various banking services for free or at low costs offer convenience to customers, such as a lot of branches, ATMs and longer banking hours offer safe investment opportunities give back to the community contribute to the stability of the country's banking system

Because not one bank offer all the services that we want, we usually have accounts in more than one bank. These banks offer a lot of services, including Internet banking, investment options and private and corporate banking, but we'll mention only part of those that interest us, or that are unique to one bank.

What We Like About BPI

It has a lot of ATMs and branches, with 1,600 ATMs spread out all over the country. It's also the only one, to my knowledge, that directly accepts peso bills for deposit at several of its ATMs in Metro

Manila without using an envelope and with the ATM deposit instantly credited. It offers a local credit card with a lower interest rate and lower-cost installment and loan features. The BPI Classic Card's Special Installment Plan and straight-charge features can be used to pay tuition fees directly to

the cashiers of major schools from grade schools to universities. I paid my daughter's tuition fee at FEU last semester using this feature.

It gives back to the community:

*It holds the annual Search for 10 Outstanding Expat Pinoy Children.

*Its BPI Foundation runs:

microfinance trainings in partnership with Ateneo de Manila University in major cities Show Me, Teach Me, SME Empowering Entrepreneurs BPI-DOST Science Awards BPI College Scholarship program Climate Change Project

What We Like About BDO

Longer Banking Hours Open on Saturdays, Sundays and most holidays (for branches located in SM malls) Lots of branches and ATMs -- Has 1,372 ATMs and 716 branches as of June 2010

*The location of BDO branches in SM malls evidently helped speed up BDO's growth. Because a great number of Filipinos go to the mall often, they choose to open BDO accounts so they can bank and shop at the same time under the same roof. It's also very convenient for OFW families receiving remittances from abroad. Certainly, it's safer withdrawing money inside the safety of the mall, including exchanging dollars, pounds or yens.

It gives back to the community:

BDO Foundation runs:

partnership with Gawad Kalinga SME entrepreneurship program

*BDO's majority owner, the SM Group, runs the SM College Scholarship program.

What We Like About Metrobank

Offers a Zero-Fee credit card -- Its M Free Mastercard is Forever Free of annual fee. This is significant as most credit cards typically charge 1,400 pesos or more for annual membership.

Over 1,200 ATMs nationwide, over 730 branches, and 42 foreign branches

It gives back to the community:

Metrobank Foundation runs the following:

Search for Outstanding Teachers Metrobank Scholarship Program Outstanding Policement in Service Outstanding Philippines Soldiers

OFW Services

Almost two million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) are currently working worldwide as engineers, nurses, teachers, seamen, doctors, dentists, physical therapists, domestic helpers,welders, electricians, machine operators, etc. Since they remit large amounts of money to their families monthly, banks have crafted special services for them.

Aside from the usual bank to bank transfer or remittance service to bank transfer, these banks also have their proprietary accounts designed for OFW clients and their families:

BPI

BPInoy Remittance

BDO

BDO Remit

Kabayan Savings

Metrobank

Super Bilis Padala Metrobank World Cash Card

Recent International Awards Received by BPI, BDO and Metrobank

These three banks have received plenty of international and local awards. The following are just some of the awards:

BPI

Best Bank in the Philippines 2009 from Global Finance Best Bank in the Philippines 2009 from Euromoney Best Bank in the Philippines 2009 from FinanceAsia

BDO

Metrobank

Best Bank in the Philippines 2010 from Euromoney Best Managed Company (Medium Cap) in the Philippines 2010 from AsiaMoney Best Domestic Bank in the Philippines 2010 from AsiaMoney

Facts That May Interest You

*** In the Philippines, there are 773 banks (branches not counted) as of June 2010:

11 private universal banks 7 private commercial banks 5 branches of foreign universal banks 9 branches of foreign commercial banks 3 subsidiaries of foreign commercial banks 3 government banks 74 thrift banks 620 rural banks 41 cooperative banks

... including branches, there are 8,685 banks in all, as of June 2010

*** Arguably, BPI was the first bank in the Philippines and in all Southeast Asia. It began as El Banco Espanol Filipino de Isabel 2 in 1851 as a Spanish-owned bank. In 1907, the bank became a Philippine institution, and in 1912, it became the Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI).

***Among the top stockholders of BPI as of December 2009 are the:

Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila Metrobank Mercury Group

***The Metrobank Foundation owns the:

Manila Doctors Hospital along U.N. Manila Doctors College along Macapagal Ave.

Metrobank also owns 30-percent of Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation.

***Among the top stockholders of Metrobank as of June 2010 are:

Federal Homes Home Development Mutual Fund Insular Life Assurance Co.

***Among the top stockholders of BDO as of September 2010 are:

International Finance Corp. (U.S.) United Overseas Bank (Singaporean) Insular Life Assurance Co.

***We're just curious that in all the three banks' Lists of the Top 100 Stockholders, Non-Filipino Philippine Central Depository Nominee Corp. shareholders account for the biggest number of shares.

For BPI, non-Filipino PCDNC shareholders ranked No. 1 as of December 2009. For Metrobank, non-Filipino PCDNC shareholders account for 28.55 percent of the total, and ranked No. 1 as of June

2010. For BDO, non-Filipino PCDNC shareholders account for 20.47 percent of the total, and third in ranking behind SM

Investments and Filipino PCDNC shareholders.

This could mean though that Philippine banks are seen as strong and stable by foreign investors. Besides, PCDNC shareholders don't grant their voting rights to PCDNC.

*** Of course, many know that:

BDO is controlled by Henry Sy's SM Group BPI is controlled by the Ayala Group and Metrobank is controlled by George Ty's group.

20 Impressive Answers To Any Tough Interview QuestionsWorkby Katherine Eion

Tough interview questions shouldn’t keep you from getting the job. The resume got you in, now all you have to do is rehearse and prepare for the interview. Brush up on the company’s business through a little internet research. Interviewers will be impressed that you took the time and initiative to get to know more about the company on your own. Use the following questions and answers to rehearse before the big day.

1. Tell Me About Yourself

Keep your answer short and to the point. Highlight career accomplishment and relate these accomplishments to what you can do for the company. Memorize and provide a brief synopsis of your resume. Be sure to tailor your responses to the job description. Describe how you are the best candidate to fulfill the company’s needs.

2. What Is Your Long Range Objective?

Provide examples of what you see yourself doing within the company. Tailor your answers to the job at hand and focus on how your objectives fit with the companies’ long term goals. Review the objectives of the job description as a guide to how you should answer this question, as well.

Read up on the company beforehand to get a sense of the internal culture of the company. Offer ideas as to how a team can come together and do what is best for the company.

4. Have You Ever Had A Conflict With A Boss? How Did You Resolve The Problem?

This question is very much geared to how you negotiate positively with people. Focus on how the problem was resolved, rather than the conflict itself. Emphasize your ability to understand both sides of the conflict. Talk about how you maintained a professional demeanor and did not allow the conflict to get personal. Finally, share how both parties resolved the difficulty.

5. What Is Your Greatest Weakness?

Of all the tough question, this one by far is the most difficult. Talk about the weakness, whatever it may be, impatience, disorganization, or poor planning. However, end on a positive. Tell the interviewer that you recognize your own weakness, but are working to correct the problem. For example, you may be disorganized yet you are making an effort to organize.

6. Why Did You Leave Your Last Job?

Explain to the interviewer that the company you left was not the best possible fit for you. You decided that you could and have done better elsewhere. Refrain from saying anything negative about your former company. Perhaps the last company did not have opportunities for advancement as this new company does.

7. How Would Others Describe You?

This is a great way to introduce your communication skills. For example, you can emphasize that not only do you listen but that you engage in active listening. Tell the interviewer about how friends and colleagues have come to think of you as a problem solver.

8. Why Should I Hire You?

Now is the time to let the interviewer know that you are the best fit for the job. Let him or her know that you are the problem-solver the company has been looking for. This is where the research into the company will be a big help. You will be able to tell exactly how and why you are a good fit for the company.

9. What Relevant Experience Do You Have?

This is where the job description will really come into play at the interview. Highlight all relevant experience and be sure to include volunteer work as well. It helps to make a side-by-side list relating your job skills next to the ones that are in the job description.

10. How Do You Plan To Add Value To This Organization?

Describe the value that only you can bring to the role. Your relevant experience and acquired job skills both come into play here. This is your chance to let the interviewer know how you best fit into the job and the organization as a whole.

11. Why Do You Want To Work For This Company?

This is where your research into the company before the interview is useful. Know the company’s mission statement and tell the interviewer that you have similar goals in mind. Check out the company’s website, so you can really stand out above the competition when answering this question.

12. Why Should I Hire You?

Provide real-world examples of how your work ethic aligns with the company mission and culture. This is your chance to prove you are the best candidate for the job. Again, use the job description to align your experience and skills exactly to the company’s needs.

13. What Are Some Problems In The Workplace You Have Overcome?

Provide concrete examples of the means and ways you have in mediating and your ability to problem solve.Explain how you took the initiative of the problem at hand and were able to come up with a solution. Emphasize your ability to ‘think outside of the box’ and overcame the problem.

14. What Interests You About This Job?

Simply plug your skills in alongside the job description. You now have the opportunity to now accentuate your skills and accomplishments with the job you are seeking. Show the interviewer exactly how your skills and accomplishments are exactly what the company is seeking and has found in your abilities.

15. Is There A Type Of Work Environment You Prefer?

Tell the interviewer that you are entirely flexible in answer to this question. Say that you work well both independently and in a team environment. Let the interviewer know that you are able to adjust and work as the company requires.

16. What Are You Passionate About?

In this case you may relate something personal about yourself. For example, you could sure that you volunteer to help people who are in need. In other words, you could share that you are people-oriented and that your passion lies in giving your time to others.

17. How Much Do You Expect To Get Paid?

This point really does take some study before the interview ever takes place. Look up the company’s websites to find comparable salaries to the job you want to win. That way when this question comes up you will have a median range in mind when asked.

18. How Do You Handle Pressure?

Let the interviewer know that you are aware of both good stress and bad stress. Good stress can be exemplified through working in a challenging environment or meeting deadlines. As for bad stress, an interviewee could emphasize how exercise helps keep a balance between good and bad stress.

19. Describe Your Work Pace

Answer by telling the interviewer that you work to accomplish goals and deadlines at a steady pace. That you are cognizant about deadlines and habitually meet deadlines on time. Discuss how well you are motivated to get the job done is a timely fashion.

20. Do You Have Any Questions For Me?

Keep in mind a particular list of what you want to ask the interviewer. Ask about the work environment. Another suitable question is to ask what happened to the person who left the job.  Was the former employee promoted, did they quit, or were fired?  You may want to inquire as to how long has the position been vacant or if this is a new position.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Bank carries out its corporate social responsibility through the BDO Foundation, a non-stock, non-profit organization that promotes initiatives based on the Bank’s long standing record of support to social development. The Bank’s corporate social responsibility focuses on developing communities through advocacy programs focusing on three vital areas, namely, decent shelter, sustainable livelihood, and practical education for the marginalized sector of society. As well, the BDO Foundation actively promotes volunteerism among its employees who help out in the Foundation’s various activities that reinforce these programs and include, among others, community building, livelihood/skills training, fund raising, and environmental/green initiatives.
