OCTANORM SYSTEM
Before my direct head left for the trade mission, she assigned me one of the most important task related to the preparation of the next Cebu Business Month. She assigned me to research for suppliers and manufacturers of OCTANORM SYSTEM from foreign countries such as UK, USA, Japan, China and etc. For everybody’s information, OCTANORM is a system of exhibitions used in trade fairs. At first, I thought it was just plainly research but later on I found out that I will be responsible in contacting them, making business with them and the worst, make a comparative study on which is the best deal among the many prospects. Again, I feel another burden, pressure. I feel pressured because I will be hands on in doing business with foreign countries and most of all the burden of getting the highest quality for the OCTANORM that will be used for the next CBM.
At some point, this assignment gave me a feeling like I’m on a pedestal. It seems that they are giving me a high-regard. However, the feeling of high-regard seems also challenged me to do my best since the OCTANORM system is one vital element in the transpiration of the event.I, therefore, can safely say that they don’t treat me as an intern but they treat me as an employee.
