Why Interns choose 8Layer?

When it’s time to choose the all important question of where to do your internship, what comes to mind? Given the vast number of companies to consider, how is 8Layer different from the rest of the pack? Why would one pick 8Layer over the more popularly-known companies?

LINUX and OPEN SOURCE ADVOCATES
8Layer is one of the few pioneers in promoting open source and Linux. With their KahelOS (www.kahelos.org), a 100% Filipino-made distro, you will surely feel the ingenuity of the team behind this phenomenal success. Not only do they want to promote open source, but they are generous in sharing their ideas and knowledge and are always eager to give back to the community. Indeed, they regularly hold what is called Knowledge sharing or KS in the office to multiply the knowledges and experiences that each of the team has learned.

ADVANCED and FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGIES
8Layer is always up-to-date with new technologies. As stressed in one of their core values, INNOVATION is an important goal of 8Layer. With the haste evolution of the IT industry, there is no room for stagnation in 8Layer. The company is constantly innovating and upgrading the technologies used behind their products and services. This means that learning new things is inevitable in the company.

BETTER CAREER OPPORTUNITY
8Layer is not just an ordinary IT company. From IT skills to communication skills to public speaking skills, one is encouraged to learn all these while staying with 8Layer. 8Layer believes that everybody should come out of their shells and use their skills and talents to the fullest.

FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE PEOPLE
Each 8Layer employee or simply known as “8lien” is approachable and fun to be with. They are a bunch of brilliant yet jolly people who can be serious at work and crazy at play. They do not act like bosses but more like “Ates” and “Kuyas” who are always willing to teach and assist newbies.

COMPETITIVENESS, PROFESSIONALISM AND GOAL-ORIENTED
8Layer is not just keen on honing the skills of its people but also on letting them excel and reach their goals. The essence of professionalism is very important to 8Layer such that its rule of thumb is for everyone to finish their assigned tasks given whatever circumstances. Even with the open-culture that they have, an “8lien” is expected to shine and grow in every aspect of their career.

With all these opportunities and training, who wouldn’t be excited to be an OJT in 8Layer? It will surely be a chance of a lifetime that you wouldn’t want to miss.

Have a Spooky Fun Halloween Everyone

Ikaw Na!

Ang hindi paggamit ng tamang oras at mga resources sa isang kumpanya ay maaaring ituring na pagnanakaw.  

Sa Oryentasyon

Ilang oryentasyon na aking ginawa sa mga bagong pumapasok sa aming kumpanya. (mapaempleyado,partners o OJT). kung hindi mainam na nakikinig ang aking mga kausap malamang lamang sa kulitan natutuloy ang masayang oryentasyon. subalit isa sa mga binibigyan ko ng diin sa bawat ganitong pangyayari ay ang paggamit ng tama ng mga resources; maging oras man ang tinutukoy nito o mga gawaing hindi naman naaayon sa mga alituntunin ng isang kumpanya.

-ang pagdodownload ng kung ano ano sa internet ay malinaw o tahakang pagnanakaw
-ang pag pasok ng hapon at walang pasubali ay pag nanakaw ng oras -ang pagtutulog sa opisina sa oras ng trabaho
-ang pumasok para tumambay lamang ay isang pagnanakaw.
-ang paggamit ng mga office supplies sa walang kapararakang bagay ay pagnanakaw  

Natutunan mo na dapat

Ang mga "basic" na itinuturo sa bahay at sa eskwelahan ay dapat natutunan na. Kung ang mga nakalista sa itaas ay mga gawaing dapat pang ipaalala sa iyo na hindi maganda at hindi nakakatulong sa pag unlad bagkos nagiging sanhi pa ng masamang halimbawa. malamang lamang talagang balasubas ka na. Kaya nga lagi kong pinapaalala sa bawat isa sa amin

-Gumawa ng mga kakaiba at espesyal na bagay na dapat ang mga gawain ito ay mananatiling buhay maging milya milyang dekada man ang dumating. -Dapat ang mga bagay na ito ay pagsasalusaluhan ng lahat
 -Isaalang-alang ang pagrespeto at pag-galang sa mga oras ng iyong mga kasama (wow basic = ) ).
 -Sa pag gawa ng mga magagandang bagay na ito dapat alalahahin ang tamang pag gamit ng resources at hindi lalagpas sa budget.

 Ikaw na

At pinakamasakit pa dito pag hindi ka pa nagdeliver ng mga inaasahan sa iyo. ika nga ni Kuya Boy, IKAW NA!

Kalingap Health Apps at the Intel TechCARE Event

Delivery of Health Care Service is a really serious matter. Health care providers are pushed to give more to be able to take care of lives, our loved ones.

Yesterday (May 24, 2012), at the Intel TechCARE event held at Max's, San Fernando Pampanga, some 80 Health Care practitioners from 24 Hospitals and Providers coming from cities and towns of Bataan, Pampanga and Bulacan converged to be adept of how technology can allow them to provide and deliver the best possible healthcare to their patients.

And though the issue of health and health care is a really a serious topic of discussion, Intel Philippines and its event partners and speakers from Medilink, Infoworx (Digiworx) and 8layer Technologies, gave the attendees an enjoyable and relevant experience of which we wish they will imbibe in them as they pursue their passion of taking care of our health.

Transcending the Value of 8layer Job Orientation

It’s the time when students line-up, submit their application and find a company for their respective OJT subject.

With too many IT students looking for a haven where they can find relevant learning, prepare them for the real world and take a step into the practice of professionalism, 8layer finds it hard to trim down candidates and accept only a few.

This summer, we got our room and hands full with about 10 Job Trainees from PUP Sta Mesa, AMA, TIP and Divine Word College of Calapan, Mindoro and plunge into the 8layer Job Experience encapsulated in 250 hours or so.
But before they get started in getting their hands dirty with hardware and network nitty-gritty, minds boggled with programming and agile framework concepts and firmed to enhance confidence in public speaking, each individual must go through the 8layer Orientation.

Aside from merely introducing our company; people, process, rationale and culture plus our special way of welcoming newcomers, we regard the Job Orientation as a major element of becoming part of the team to make sure that each one is aligned to understanding what it is to become an 8lien.

For information and inquiries on our OJT/ Inernship program please email us @careers-at-8layertech-dot-com.

Operation Occupy 8OHQ

On March 28, 2012, more than 50 4th Year Computer Engineering Students from the Queen City of the South invaded the 8layer Orange Headquarters(8OHQ) as part of their Seminar and Field Trip subject.

They are the enthusiastic and future IT practitioners and professionals from the University of San Carlos, Cebu City.  This was the same time that most of us were just coming back from the Intel Negosyantech Event (Legaspi Leg) so it was Dondi and Jasper’s turn to walk them through KahelOS for these students to have a hands on experience with Linux and Open Source.

Part of their objective was to have a feel and sense of how an Open Source IT Company runs and operates and basically what are the services that 8layer offers.

The Cebuanos came at around 10:30 in the morning, toured the office, listened and participated to the seminar especially prepared for them for two hours. Before they left with the 8layer Experience on our community projects, advocacy and work, they also got home with them KahelOS CD Installers for them to tinker and play around.

This year marks 8layer’s 7th Anniversary.  Last April 2 at the 8OHQ, Team 8liens gathered to celebrate our togetherness through thick and thin as we pursue our simple whims to provide affordable, reliable and easy to use applications for the Filipinos.
It was a really pleasant, meaningful and joyous anniversary bonding that started at merienda through dinner. #8liensunite. Padayon at ipagpatuloy ang ningas ng ating samahan at pinagsasamahan.

Here are some of 8layertech Milestones.

 - As part of our advocacy, we co-launched the release of the New KahelOS Version
- We launched Kasosyo Network and Kasosyo Apps Suite for the FIlipino Entrepreneurs with a huge support from Intel Philippines. Kasosyo Apps is being presented and marketed through the Intel Negosyatech endeavor.
- Our process and work will focus on Agile Marketing and Development
What to Expect from Team 8layer this year.
