Seminar Preparation

During my third year in college, I was able to take a course in organizing events such as seminars, symposium and the like. I even had the chance to organize such in school as part of the course requirement. The task wasn’t easy as I expected knowing I wasn’t working alone but with a team. To make things perplex, I was chosen as the captain of the team. With it, the fate of the event, be it success or failure, blame will be put on me. Thank God! It turns out to be a successful one.

Now, in my internship, I am also part of the organizing committee for organizing seminar on food safety. This is a joint project of CCCI and DOST. I am in charge of making calls to different establishments, universities etc. inviting them to join the seminar. I do follow-ups, ask feedback from them if they will or they will not attend the seminar. I am also part in making the kits for the audience that will be attending the event. Woaaahhh!!!! It’s like they hire me to become a jack-of-all-trades. Literally, I’ve been an all-around intern in the company since the day that I started to work with them. But I love the feeling of being entrusted with almost all of the important things in the company needed in its operation. Somehow, there is a feeling of exasperation on my part being an intern and at the same time being a working student. Nevertheless, I treat this ill-feeling on a lighter note. I know I will learn a lot from all these things and that will surely contribute on my future undertakings in the real world.
