Presentation Behavioral
You need to submit your application to the HRDO. From there, it goes to the department you're applying to. The department's academic personnel committee (APC) checks if there's an opening and reviews your application. If it looks good, they'll ask you to do a 'teaching demonstration'. If they're happy with that, your application moves up to the college's personnel committee, then to the UPLB academic personnel board, then to the UP System committee, and finally, the UP System Board of Regents will give the final confirmation.
