Step 1: Finding the Right Job!

    Separating wheat from chaff is a lot better than finding the right job. It took almost a month to find the right company for my internship. I’ve been through a lot of companies and almost all implicitly deny my application. The worst, two of my dream companies denied my application. I was totally down in the dumps then. But with all of life’s twists and turns, I was accepted in the company of my least interest.

    I was accepted as an intern in the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry. My first day as an intern wasn’t like in Home Radio where I felt so many jitters. All I felt that day was the fast pacing of time. My five hours of duty was like an hour because there wasn’t an orientation done, however, I was then assigned to get the MOA from the Cebu City Hall and the approved budget for the concluded Cebu Business Month 2011. I was totally shocked. I was very much busy on my first day. After I went to the City Hall, I photocopied a lot of papers, distributed the memoranda on the different departments and most of all called big business executives to inform them about the coming meeting with the CCCI staff for the next CBM. I was literally bombarded with tasks on my first day of internship.

    Although I was very busy on my first day, it was such a blessing in disguise. I now felt how it’s like to be in the corporate world. Everything is totally non-stop work. Unlike in Home Radio where I can still chill and somehow showcase my talent, in CCCI it is totally different. I was in culture shock. CCCI is a totally different work environment from my first company where I had my first internship. With their difference, I expect a lot to learn more things different from what I have learned before.
