My Non-Uniformed Personnel (NUP) Job Hiring Experience

       A friend of mine encouraged me to apply for the latest hub in national mass hiring, the search for hundreds of NUP or Non-Uniformed Personnel nationwide. As per recent national law, all police officers are mandated to move out of the office and stay on their designated posts outside the station. This is to ensure that enough men in uniforms are seen in public spots to prevent the occurrence of crimes. Although I have always been eager to work for a government position, I hesitated at first because I am already in tune and very satisfied with my current online jobs. Nevertheless, I tried.

         The application was a bit of a challenge because most requirements are to be submitted in their original form like NSO birth certificate and NSO marriage certificate as well as the NBI clearance. Basically, the main requirements are the following:

1. Duly accomplished PDS CSC Form Revised 2005

2. Transcript of Records and Diploma; all authenticated along with the original copies of the receipts

3. Authenticated Certificate of Eligibility along with the original copy of the receipt of authentication

4. Certificate of Employment; everything should be authenticated

5. Certificate of Training; everything should be authenticated

6. NBI Clearance; original copy along with the original copy of the receipt and an authenticated copy of the clearance

7. NSO Birth Certificate; original copy along with the original copy of the receipt and an authenticated copy of the certificate

8. NSO Marriage Certificate; original copy along with the original copy of the receipt and an authenticated copy of the certificate

          All of these documents are to be placed in two separate, long, white envelopes in which one envelope is for the original copies while the other one is for authenticated photocopies of the documents. All of these should be fastened using white paper fastener and arranged according to the following:

1. Letter of Application - A

2. Duly accomplished PDS in CSC Form Revised 2005 - B

3. Transcript of Records and Diploma - C

4. Certificate of Eligibility - D

5. Certificate of Training - E

6. Certificate of Employment  - F 

7. NBI Clearance - G

8. NSO Birth Certificate - H

9. NSO Marriage Certificate - I

            The above sequence is to be encoded as a table of contents and placed at the very first page of the folder. It is very important that you file your documents accordingly and as implemented or you will be asked to tab and then arrange it again, which can be very time consuming and demanding, especially if you travel somewhere else just to submit the application.

            Speaking of travel, I just got back from Camp Romeo Abendan in Zamboanga. Me, my father, and a friend who also happens to be an applicant, endured 8 hours of land trip from Dipolog City to Zamboanga just to go to Camp Abendan in Mercedes and submit our application there. By the way, the available travel schedules from Dipolog City to Zamboanga via Rural Transit departs at 10:30 pm (air conditioned bus with wifi), 12 midnight, and 1 am. The arrival schedules are 6:30 am, 8am, and 9am respectively.

             During the submission of application, we were asked to line up, write our name in a paper, and fill in an evaluation sheet. Our names were then called for evaluation of documents. NUPs for respective regions then evaluated our application documents, scrutinizing each page, making sure that all required and applicable documents both in its original and authenticated forms were available. After which, we were then briefed and told that our written and actual exams are scheduled on March 17. We were asked of our preferred assignments, and I readily gave them three municipalities. Thankfully, all 3 were open, so I was able to choose one that's nearest to my residence.

             It took me and Marc an hour to finish the entire hiring process on that day. It was a full day ahead, but we had so little time to take a good stroll in Zamboanga. We went back home to Dipolog at 2 pm and arrived home at 10 pm.

            Praise to God for a breezy and safe ride as well as a successful event in Zamboanga.
