DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AB/BS PSYCHOLOGY

Actually, both BS/AB Psychology course have the same objectives (you may refer to CHED CMO-34-s-2017). The only difference between BS and AB Psychology, based on CHED CMO-34-s-2017, lies on the natural science subjects. Specifically, BS Psychology has an additional 20 units of natural science electives. These natural science electives may be in different unit contributions provided they are in total of 20 units. In summary, AB Psychology has 109 units while BS Psychology has 129 units.

So what are natural science subjects? These are biology, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, etc. It depends on the institution which elective will be included in their respective curriculum as long as it satisfies the 20 units.

Both BS/AB Psychology provide graduates with a solid foundation of basic knowledge and skills in Psychology. It’s up to you which track to choose. If you’re inclined to science and strongly believes that it will prepare you for medicine, then you can choose BS Psychology. But if you want to become a businessman, HR practitioner, or lawyer in the future, then you can take AB Psychology.

The point now is why would you take BS Psychology if you’re not planning to take the licensure exam and taking medicine? However, there were AB Psychology majors who took the licensure examination. They went to PRC for equivalency of their Human Resource Development subject for Industrial Psychology. So, you can still make your “diskarte” in the future. When you want something in the future to happen, it’s possible to achieve. No one can stop you from reaching your dreams. You can become a businessman and HR practitioner as well in BS Psychology. It's still up to you. Good luck!

I hope I answered your question.

#BESTIPS: TIPS IN JOBHUNTING

1.    Resume, bes! Make sure lahat ng nandoon ay accurate. Ang cute mo kapag mali yung number at e-mail mo!

2.    One at a time. Bes, i-send mo sa HR ng company yang resume mo saka dapat isa-isang company lang. Nakakainis kapag send to all. Ang negative ng impression! Aba, pinagsasabay mo sila? Charot. Ang tamad kasi ng dating saka hindi talaga ayos yun. I-check ang subject. ALL CAPS mo para intense. Hahaha. ALL CAPS mo para mapansin kaagad. Ex, PORTUGUEZ, LEE MIN APPLYING FOR HR POSITION POST *pak!*. Siyempre, siguraduhin mo rin naka-attach ang resume mo. May mga times na nakakalimutan! Kung hindi ka madali ma-attach, sa resume dapat yan!

3.    Formal e-mail. Bes, grabe ka naman kung pati e-mail mo pang jeje. Please lang iyong e-mail add mo rin sana bagong account. Yung tipong juandelacruz@gmail.com para mas pormal kaysa sa silent_wildflower@gmail.com. Ano tingin mo? 

4.    Dapat prepared! Sa interview bes, dapat naisip mon a yung possible question. Magprepare ng konti. Magpractice kasi practice makes perfect unless perfect ka na? Charot.

5.    Maghanap huwag maghintay. Mahirap maghanap ng trabaho pero tiyaga lang. Huwag ang mag-alala mas mahirap pa rin ang umasa. Charot. Mag-strategize ka na! Yung mga places na magkakalapit, isahan mo na lang puntahan. Mga 3 companies enough na iyon sa isang araw. Minsan talaga hindi hinihintay, sinusugod!  

6.    Walang tawag. Nagsend ka ng 20 resumes at walang tawag? Okay lang iyon sa ngayon. Kung 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks...okay pa iyan. Usually, nakakatagal ng 1 month. Kaya huwag magmukmok kaagad kasi mahirap rin mag-screen ng resumes. Di ba pinag-aralan sa IO iyan, nakalimutan mo na? :) Kaya karaniwan, sabay-sabay sila tatawag sa'yo. 

7.    Ballpen at photocopy of documents. Magdala kasi minsan nakakaimbyerna sa HR na lahat ng 30 applicants nila walang ballpen eh. Magdala rin ng photocopy ng requirements. May iba kasi one day processing lang.

8.    Maging mapagmatiyag! Nakaka-flattered! Hired ka kaagad! Hindi mo alam kung bakit pero hired! Kapag atat na atat iyan na ipasok ka, mag-isip ka. Check mo yung company muna. May contract kaya sila? Kamusta kaya iyon?
*while waiting pwede kang makipagchit-chat sa guard pero please wag kang magtanong sa guard magkano sahod kasi may guard na chuchu at nakakarating sa HR haha kaya ingat* 

     Mahirap maging panakip butas sa isang position tapos sobrang gulo pala ng pinasukan mong company! Anong malay mo, tatlo pala magiging boss mo na hindi pa magkakasundo? Eh di iyak, bes!

9.    Be yourself. Kapag sa interview, "be yourself". Kapag sinabing ganoon, huwag kang magkunwari. Okay ang confident pero huwag masyado. Makikita iyon sa interview kaya maganda magpractice ka mula pagtayo, pagngiti at maganticipate ka ng mga ibabato sayong tanong para comfortable ka during interview. Huwag mo na masyadong ibandera ang achievements mo. Kapag hindi namention, huwag na. Alam naman ng HR iyon kapag magaling ka. Baka kasi mamisinterpret ka. I-connect mo ang skills mo sa job description at i-connect mo sarili mo sa HR. Isipin, "Kung ako ba ang HR, tatanggapin ko ba sarili ko sa way ko ng pagsagot?" Dapat conversational lang para magaan ang flow. 

10. Mag-ingat sa replies. Okay! So best! Kinaya mo yung dibdiban nang final interview! Congrats! Nagtext ngayon si HR Manager sa iyo na "you are invited for job offer at exactly blah blah blah"! Na-excite ka ng bongga! Syempre kailangan i-share mo yung good news sa mga mahal mo! Syempre text mo yung mahal mo! "mahal cuh, natanggap po acuh sa job cuh! I love you so much! Maliligo na ako!" *send*

Pagkakita mo doon pala sa HR Manager mo nasend!

Lesson learned: Huwag masyadong matuwa. Dyusmio nangyari na iyan sa ilan sa kakilala ko at sa akin. Huwag excited bes. Basahin!

KNOW THYSELF

I just thought of the importance of knowing yourself. We need to know ourselves because sometimes we confused our own needs, emotions, and interests with that of another person's. We unconsciously project our own needs, emotions, and interests to them.

If we extend this to other situations, you'll hear problems such as "my parents want me to take this course because blah blah", "You're mad at me?", "I hate her because she hates me", etc. These are all examples of projections. We are unaware of what we truly feel and projects it onto others. It occurs when we don't confront our problems, recognize our emotions, when anxiety is too much to handle, or when we are frustrated. 

Here's the first rule and Socrates was right when he said it:
Know thyself.
