Application route
Follow the official document list. Email [email protected] and copy [email protected].
Your application in three steps
Check your fit
Compare your experience and degree with the stated requirements. Ask about the working arrangement, field duties, contract terms and payment process.
Prepare your evidence
Choose one real project, explain your own contribution and record the checks you performed. Use only material you are allowed to share.
Check and submit
Reopen the official notice, confirm the form and deadline, and review every attachment before sending through the agency’s stated route.
Show the experience you actually have
If you meet the requirements, spend your preparation time on what you can demonstrate. A list of software names tells a reviewer less than a clear account of a problem you solved. Choose one project you know well enough to explain without opening someone else’s files.
Write four short notes: what the dataset was for, what was wrong or incomplete, what you personally changed, and how you checked the result. For example, your real contribution might have been reconciling duplicate records, documenting coordinate systems or making a recurring map update easier to review. Use only examples you actually performed.
Separate your contribution from the team’s work. “Supported a mapping project” is vague; a specific description of your own checks and deliverables gives an interviewer something useful to ask about. Do not invent a percentage improvement simply because numbers look impressive.
Your one-page project note
This is our optional preparation exercise, not an additional PHIVOLCS application requirement. Keep it to one page so that you can explain the same project clearly in a conversation.
Context and your role
Describe the user of the map or dataset, the practical question it needed to answer, and the part you owned. Give the dates honestly so your experience can be reconciled with your CV.
Method and quality check
Describe one technical decision and the check you used to catch a possible error. A small, well-explained example is stronger than a large unexplained screenshot.
Result and limitation
State the output you delivered, how it was used if you know, and one limitation. Distinguish a completed result from a proposal that the team did not implement.
Make the sample safe to share
Use material you are allowed to share. If a real project involves personal information, a client restriction or an unpublished dataset, prepare a clearly labeled demonstration using public or synthetic data instead. Describe the original work at a level you can disclose.
A demonstration is useful only when you label it accurately. Do not pass a synthetic map off as an agency output or imply that PHIVOLCS requested it. If you use AI to edit the explanation, check every technical term and remove any achievement the tool added. The final wording should still describe your work.
Check the documents before submitting
The notice requires a letter to Director Teresito C. Bacolcol, a completed PDS with photo, CV, transcript and diploma. It specifies the 2017 PDS revision. Send to [email protected] and copy [email protected]; include the full position, section and division in the letter. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
Reopen every attachment before you send it. Check that pages are legible, names and dates agree, and the filenames make the documents easy to identify. Keep your own copy of the exact files and the sent message. A sent email is your record of submission, not proof that the application was accepted.
The date is close. Work from the official posting and confirm any unclear form or deadline detail with the agency. If the deadline has passed when you read this, use the preparation exercise for another suitable opening; do not submit on the assumption that recruitment was extended.
Before you commit
Ask about the working arrangement, field duties, contract terms and the process for payment. Consider travel and preparation costs alongside the advertised pay. A contract ending in December may suit one reader and be impractical for another. The useful decision is whether this specific opportunity fits your skills and circumstances.
