Passenger Service Agents

[jabba]

@iloveblue... Nakita ko yung post ng passages manpower inc. Sa jobstreet...i want to apply sana yung PSA? Kaso ang kailangn nila is kahit may 1 year experience.... Eh im a fresh grad (octoberian) and marketing graduate.... Ok lang naman siguro kahit marketing graduate di ba? And last question...whats the difference of PSA and Jr. PSA? For none experience ba yung Jr. PSA? Thanks po sa pagsagot... Sensya na po napaka raming tanong...ahehehehehe... Godbless...

[ilove.blue]

jabba, kahit anong degree ok lang as long as you have 1 yr or more experience related to PSA.

i guess yung JR PSA kahit wala kang experience as PSA. but the jobstreet ad said you should have worked in an airport environment before. ako i applied for the jr psa, iba din kasi field ko e pero gusto ko talaga ang gantong nature ng work... itry ko na lang. try mo rin, baka mashortlist pa tayo, hehe

[jabba]

Ahahaahha...same tayo....like ko talaga yung ganyang nature of work...oo nga eh...isa nga sa mga requirements na kailangan may experience kang trabaho sa airport industry....waaaahhhhhh..... Try ko na nga lang din....ahahahaha....nag pass ka ba dun? Goodluck ah...

karaniwan naman ng PSA here sa abroad eh walang exam exam, binibase talaga nila sa experience and sa sagot sa interview.

hello guys!!! just passed sa pagss nung monday, then pasa ko requirements sa thurday. Come monday, orientation. Hindi ko talaga inexpect, kasi out of 10 na kasama ko, ako lang yung nakuha for psa, then yung iba inofferan ng cargo something position.. ayun medyo nalungkot nga rin ako.. pero masaya rin kasi magkakawork na ako. sana makapasa ako sa medical tom. good luck sa inyo!

nga pala, hospitality mgt grad ako, i don't know anything about airport operations, though may tourism classes naman kami dati. Siguro kaya ako nakuha kasi may experience ako sa customer service, kaya ayun swerte lang din siguro. Maganda naman daw yung training ng PAGSS, some of my colleagues also trained there. Now, they work for SAL, Cathay, etc.

marami nagsasabi na heto daw ang stepping stone para maging FA, which tama nga. Pero IMO mas madali ang trabaho ng FA compare sa mga nasa Grounds.

Any one here working as Ground Staff?

yeah, i also think so. PSA's usually deal with ticketing, and other stuff like luggage, immigration, etc.

IMO, siguro mas malaki talaga sahod ng FA's kasi nga they fly. Malaki yung niririsk nila, kaya employers make attractive salaries para marami rin maengganya. parang sa luxury liners din. nakakatakot magrisk, pero kung malaki naman sahod bakit hindi? Mababa tlaga pasahod sa land-based employees compared to fa's and sea men dito and abroad.

[idreamtofly]

Punta sana ako sa PAGSS, kaso nung nakita ko ang mga PSA sa airport, ang gaganda parang manyika, napa-atras ako

hindi pa siguro tayo nagkikita kasi sa jobstreet lang naman ako nagpasa ng resume dun.. first time ko lang dun nung monday, then one-day processing lang. 10am-4pm ako nandoon. series of interviews, one exam.

[krayzico26]

@idreamtofly: wag ka umatras, madami nga magaganda talaga sa aiport, pero meron din naman na tama lang.. wala naman mawawala sayo kung magaapply ka eh.

@meekweak: most of the PSA's walang alam sa ticketing, iilan lang ang meron but most of them validity lang alam but when it comes to restrictions iraradio na nila yun sa ticketing agents.

wala po ba dito nakaassign sa Qatar Airways na ground staff?

ganun ba? anyhow, siguro madali na matutunan yun once you get in.

Hi to everyone, im new here.
I want to ask meekweak how was there interview? Congrats that you have the job as psa.
Pagss texted me last2x week and this week to attend the interview because i wasnt able to attend the first time.
Because i read on previous thread regarding the training without allowane for 5 wks and 2 yrs contract with them on minimum salary, is it still the same?

I also want to work inside the airport however I'm confused because I also have financial needs. Hope to hear from someone to shed some light.

[elaine66]

question please can anyone provide list of airline ground staff training courses in manila or ticketing?

[calamarifries]

@ilove.blue I got your message thank you for the details. Im still on the process of gathering info, I know Pagss is on continuous hiring of ground personnel ( psa, ramp op, cargo checker) So
If im finally decided ill just walk in this december.

The forums are really helpful, i read a lot of threads quite some time and now finally decided to sign up. Thank u to all pexers!.

For those who signed the contract at PAGSS as PSA how was the process? The training? Pls share your insights
Thank you in advance

hi calamarifries! I've already signed contract with PAGSS early this afternoon. Our training will start on December 03 for 10 days with no allowance. After that, we will be having an exam and must atleast reach a grade of 85% to be able to continue for the next step which is the Internship Program. The duration of the program will last for 3 months at this point the PSAs will receive 323 Php per day as an allowance. If you will do great in the Internship Program, PAGSS will offer you a two years contract with them.

Hope it helps calamarifries...

[idreamtofly]

Leeian, I was invited for an interview on December 6-10... May itatanong lang po ako... Yung allowance po ba na 323 per day, no duty-no pay ba or 323*30days ang pay? And the 2 years contract is a binding contract ba?

Hmmm... I wonder kung magkano ang offer nila for a 2-year contract kasi parang ang hirap bago mo ma-reach yun..

Ang hirap lang kasi parang hindi pa pala sure kapag tinanggap ka nila, may training na walang allowance and you'll just receive Php323 for 3months kakasya ba yun. Tss..

I have a scheduled interview next week, ngayon parang ayaw ko na ituloy.

Hi idreamtofly! Yes, it is no work no pay. We must render 48 hours of work in a week, meaning 6 days of work, and the two years contract is a binding contract..

Hi Papa Bear! I calculated the 323 Php a day and the result is, it's like your a minimum wager. I know it is not enough but look on the other side, the hr manager in PAGSS told us, that this kind of work is a stepping stone to become a FA or better it will bring us to abroad..
