Big OKEI! *smiles* I was just chatting with my co-intern kanina... eh parang wala naman pupuntahan yung usapan namen so I decided to sign-out na lang. HAHA (magets mo kaya na ikaw ang tinutukoy ko? HAHA)
Tapos wala akong ibang magawa ngayon. Medyo saturated na ko sa Facebooking eh. HAHA I'm all alone here (again) then suddenly this idea of writing just popped into my head and da-dan!
Let me share my internship story to you.
It all started when I went to the main office of Social Security System (SSS). My intention was to inquire about their on-the-job training then just found out that they don't give allowance among their trainees. So parang napaatras ako bigla HAHA. Panu ba naman, we don't really have to undergo OJTs kasi nga di kame required, wala sa curriculum namen. So you might ask, bakit pa ko nag-inquire? Well, since our batch (in my opinion) is a competitive one, almost everyone wants to have their OJTs. People I know from marketing even say, "Eh yun naman pala di kayo required.." Eh ewan ko ba, parang exciting kasi HAHAHA. At yung closest ECO friends ko applied din for OJTs sa different companies. That's when I decided to apply na din. (parang bandwagon effect?). Pero syempre, I need a job that would give a "win-win situation". *evil laugh* Good thing, that guy (HAHA) told me about their Government Internship Program (GIP/Kabataan2000). Try ko raw tanung sa HR. So syempre bibong-bibo naman akong pumunta sa HR. Sabi nung napagtanungan ko, di pa raw naa-approve sabay abot saken ng papel na may contact # nila. Check ko na lang raw pag na-approve na. Days passed and I was feeling lazy na. I was saying to myself na wag na lang, katamad naman eh (see how lazy I am! HAHA) Buti na lang, when I was about to stop looking for a job na, there was this voice (naks!) telling me to call SSS at ayun I'm on the run ulit.
Okei. Let's take a fast forward!
So from that call, I ended up submitting the requirements then passed the interview and got the internship. (What a blast actually. Sa dame pala naman ng nag apply eh swerte na makuha ako.)
FIRST DAY is like HELL!
After the orientation, work officially started. Masaya kasi andame namen nalagay sa isang department (kame nga lang yung ganun kadami ata). Madali lang naman ang trabaho- 1.tanggalin ang staple 2. i-sort 3. i-staple ang mga na sort (again and again and again). Pero the moment I sat and start working bigla akong nalungkot. Naisip ko, OMG I am really gonna work here for almost a month. That sucks! How am I gonna learn new stuff if I'm stuck here doing some sorting?! Oh di ba? Such a loser. Tapos for some weird reason, naisip ko si Mam Racho bigla. Perhaps because I recalled her article sa Commerce journal. It was stated there why she ended up being a professor- kasi mas matututo raw sya dun kesa sa desk job. Eh since one of my goal is to become a professor, does it mean I don't want a desk job anymore? Na bother talaga ko dun. Pero eventually nawala rin 'to sa isip ko. Siguro it was a first day syndrome lang for me.
Punta naman tayo sa mga taong nakasama ko. Sabi ko nga, first day was like hell for me. Ewan ko, I felt like these people aren't my crowd. They seem so different. Weird pero grabe there's something I can't even explain why.
And lastly, it was more like hell because when I got home I had major pain all over my body. What a day!
Fast forward again!
Syempre, in a new environment you take time to adapt. Eventually you'll learn how to enjoy what your doing, mingle with the new faces and be immune from any ouch moments. :) Habang tumatagal eh mas na-eenjoy namen lahat ang trabaho. Mas masaya kasi sa lugar namen eh puro tawanan. Kwela.
It was a WONDERFUL experience.
It taught me a lot.
I learned that:
-in the "real world" competition really exist. you have to be competitive to land a job.
-doing the actual work is not easy. you have to be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared.
-patience is really a key in anything or whatever you do
-earning your own money is very rewarding yet makes you a kuripot
-the quality of your work really counts
-relationship with the people you work with is very important
Speaking of the people I worked with, I want to thank all of you guys for that fantastic experience.
