Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Pre-Employment Exam Pointers

This post will give you Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) hopefuls a few pointers regarding the bureau's pre-employment exam coverage.

Math
The BIR is mandated by law to assess and collect taxes, fees and charges as well as penalties and fines. As such, math should be a subject you are proficient in. This includes basic computations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Below are sample tax computations to help refresh your memory. As you will see, tax computations involve the 4 basic mathematical operations mentioned above.

Computation of income tax from Marvin Morales

Here's a great presentation about taxation in the Philippines:

Taxation 101 basic rules and principles in philippine taxation 

by jr lopez gonzales for msu iit political science seminar 

 from JR Lopez Gonzales

Excel
Like any other business or organisation, the BIR also creates reports. For example, its Accounting Division "prepares and consolidates trial balances, supporting schedules and other financial reports."

These reports will most probably be created using software like Microsoft Excel. The use of these tools makes creating reports easier. For example, Excel makes adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying a wide range of numbers easier. It also has features to help users create graphs to include in their reports.

Here's a video on how to use Microsoft Excel:

Personality Test
A personality test may also be administered during the BIR pre-employment examination. The test is a way to screen job applicants.

The bureau would most probably use the self-report inventory type of personality test where you will rate questions or statements on how much it applies to you.

In this test, there is no right of wrong answer. But your answers will be used to determine whether or not you will be suitable for the position or role you are applying for.

There is no need to review or prepare for this exam. But to give you an idea how the test might look like, here is a free personality test sample from Institute of Psychometric Coaching which you can browse or practice on.

That's all for this post. I hope those BIR pre-employment exam pointers will help you in your quest to become an employee at the bureau.

Good luck! :)

Malacañang Palace: Then and Now in Photos

Malacañang Palace serves as both the official residence and workplace of the President of the Philippines.

The name Malacañang comes from "May lakan diyan", which translates to "there is a nobleman there". The Palace was originally the summer home of a wealthy Spaniard named Don Luis Rocha.

Below are photos of the Malacañang Palace then and now:

How to Apply in Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas

(Credit: Ramon FVelasquez)

You have decided to work for the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). In fact, you already have your eyes set on a particular position.

You're ready to apply. That's what you think. 

Before sending in that curriculum vitae, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Are you a Filipino citizen?
2. Do meet, or exceed, the minimum requirements of the position you are applying for? 
3. Did you answer properly and completely the BSP application forms?
4. Did you specify what position you are applying for, the name of the department/office of the job vacancy and the position key? 
5. Will you be able to send in your application on or before the deadline (10 calendar days from publication date)? 

You should be able to answer all the questions above with a resounding "Yes". Otherwise, the BSP will not entertain your application (there goes all your effort).

Where should you send your application?

The BSP accepts applications via mail or you can choose to apply online (more in the next section). If you choose to send in your applications via mail, make sure to address it the following:

Recruitment and Examination Division

Human Resource Management Department

Room 104, Ground Floor, 5-Storey Building

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas

1004 Malate, Manila

Don't forget to include your curriculum vitae (CV)! 

Can you apply online?

For tech savvy job applicants, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas now accepts applications via their online recruitment portal (click here). Applicants need to register to be able to apply to BSP vacant positions listed on the site. To register, simply fill up the required details, enter the right captcha code and agree to the terms.

Useful Activities to Do While You Wait

Your application went through smoothly. Congratulations!

But now what do you do? Wait. 

Waiting can be tough. You'd feel anxious and  probably have long, sleepless nights. 

So to help you weather through the oftentimes long wait for a response from the BSP, here are a couple of activities you can do:

• Prepare the following documents: 
• Original and 2 photocopies of your (a) Transcript of Records, (b) diploma and (c) Civil Service Eligibility and/or Board Rating Certificate
• Copies of Updated Resume
• Pictures (Passport-size with white background)
• Certificate/s of Employment with Duties & Responsibilities
• Certificate/s of Trainings/Seminars taken
• NSO copy of Birth Certificate
• Marriage Contract (if applicable)
• NBI, Police and Barangay clearances.

These documents should be on hand and ready once the BSP requests for them.

• Continue your job hunting. 

There's no rule that says you can't, right? This will give you a cushion in case your application in the BSP gets rejected. In addition, it will also help you measure how in demand your educational background, skill sets and training are in the current job market. 

• Participate in seminars or trainings relevant to your career or industry.

Did you recently saw a seminar regarding updates or new trends in your industry? Why don't you attend? Or what about that training on a new skill you believe would be useful in your career? Why don't you participate?

Attending seminars and participating in trainings is a very good way to use your time. You can update your existing knowledge and/or brush up on skills or learn new ones. 

• Volunteer

Has a calamity struck residents of a municipality nearby? Why don't you volunteer to help them? There are a number of organizations you can join to contribute money, goods, time and effort to.

• Have a new hobby

Have you always wanted to read that new book? Or watch that new movie? Why don't you go for it?

A Piece of Advice

Before applying in the BSP, or in any position elsewhere, ask yourself if it is in line with your career path. Does the job fit in with your short-term, as well as long-term, road to career success?

If so, then by all means send in that application immediately.

But if you're doubtful about the opportunity, take a step back and examine the vacant position against your chosen career path. The following questions will help you decide if it is the right opportunity for you to take:

• Does the position challenge me?
• Does the position offer opportunities for growth and development?
• Will the position help me achieve my short-term and long-term career goals?
