Marking My Spot: Milestones

I'm A Junior!

August 13th, Friday, marked my third year in PS. I suddenly thought of my co-PS batch 15's. Saan na kaya sila? I'm the only one left in my account. How fast time flies! Seems like yesterday when I sent my application to HR via email just for the heck of it. I was one of those professional jobhunters but wasn't serious about applying in PS then - trip lang. I don't remember exactly why - maybe it's because I don't want to work in Makati. I was also eyeing on a teaching position in AMA. I wanted to teach geek stuff - C / C++ programming to be exact. But that same day I emailed, PS peeps replied telling me to contact them to schedule for an exam. The next thing I know, they're calling me at my cellphone for a final interview. Wow, I felt like a VIP. Hehe. So after two weeks from my application date, I got hired as an eRep - my very first job. I was nailed in this position for 2 years and 8 months.

Now I'm a proud trainer - the long wait paid off (and believe it or not, hanggang ngayon may nagpapalibre pa - when will the hurting stop???). It's a lot of hard work but it's my kind of hard work. Nico once said, "grabe Myls, ang tiyaga mo!" Yes, I am. I don't easily give up. I see to it that I enjoy my work. When I was a rep, I got so tired of taking calls and processing emails, swinging from one shift to another, but I was still doing good - not to mention months of 100% schedule adherence (wink! wink!). I'm the type who wouldn't care about responsibility as long as it's a fun and friendly workplace. I meet toxic people at work but they don't affect me. A lot have left, some still stayed. They say it's too much pressure. But what job isn't difficult? Which company doesn't have politics?

I always tell my students, "Sometimes you may not enjoy your customers but you will definitely enjoy the people you work with."
