THIS past weekend, Eastwood City was definitely alive
and kicking as thousands of the Metro’s talented and determined
youth swarmed the Libis party hub’s Central Plaza to have fun with
friends and possibly find a career with Dell, one of the latest
multinationals to set foot on Philippine shores. The three-day event
dubbed “Dell Rocks,” served as the inaugural celebration of
Dell’s brand-new contact center located within Eastwood City.
“We love the Philippines and
Dell is here to stay and help grow careers!” These were the
exuberant words of Mike Garrison, Dell Philippines country manager,
as he welcomed students, fresh graduates, jobseekers and party
people alike to the weekend shebang, which signaled the enthusiasm
and anticipation of how Dell is set to “rock” the nation.
Hosted by Magic 89.9 DJ’s Mojo
Jojo and Teta News, the rockfest wowed partygoers with band
performances from Up Darma Down, Swissy, Orange and Lemons,
Starflower Show, Join the Club and Rivermaya. Also on hand to
support the successful event were hundreds of Dell employees clad in
vibrant red shirts who also wowed the crowd with their testimonies
about their experiences with Dell as they spoke to the crowd and
gave away prizes to those in attendance.
“We want people to know how fun
and exciting our company is,” exclaimed Susheel Bahsin, director
for Dell’s Libis site as he addressed the crowd. “What other
company would think of throwing a bash like this? Three days of
great music from some of the country’s best rock bands!”
“With Dell you can build a
lifetime career and climb the corporate ladder. You’re not just
stuck in the same position, we grow careers,” said Robert
Gonzales, Dell talent and acquisitions manager. “One may start
with a technician position but with talent and hard work, they can
end up in HR, Communications, or in other parts within the company
here in the Philippines or at other Dell locations around the
globe.”
Dell employs over 75,000 people
around the world and has more jobs waiting to be filled in the
Philippines since opening shop here about a year ago. With a sundry
of positions available ranging from entry level to higher-level
employment, “Dell Rocks” proved to be a creative way of
introducing Dell’s new contact center as well as raise awareness
regarding the new opportunities it has brought.
Doy Roque of Media Meter, the
innovative agency and workhorse behind the successful event said,
“Dell is Dell—other than being one of the world’s most admired
companies, it is definitely a pioneer. ‘Dell Rocks’ is an
exciting example of what they can do.”
