Working Thomasians

Analyst ako ngayon sa isang IT company..not my dream job, pero i'd consider it as a stepping stone, at least in line pa rin sa field ko..

gusto ko lang din i-share, kanina nag-talk ako sa school ko nung hs at elem, tapos yung mga seniors dun, excited na excited sa UST, hahaha..nakakatuwa at the same time nagtataka lang din ako bakit ganun, iniisip nalang namin, wala e, UST e, hahaha! pero ayun, nakakatuwa lang, love na love nila UST, hahaha

ako, i can't consider myself as professional pero parang ganun na rin, di nga lang line sa course ko.

i venture into business.

mahirap na masarap... kaya i doubt kung mag aadjust pako after all ng nangyayari ngaun pag nagwork na ko sa corporate settings.

ay trulalu.... nag talk din ako 2 weeks back sa HS ko (career orientation) and nung tinanong ko kung sino gusto mag USTe, halos lahat gusto. well, yung proximity naman kasi ng HS ko sa USTe eh parang 10 minutes na lakad lang hehehe.

ano ba ang dream job mo dindin?

ako ngayon gusto ko maging piloto nyehehe

hahaha, ang kulit lang e no, pero kahit naman sa batch namin, ang alam ko ang daming nag-take ng exam sa UST, marami rin kaming tumuloy sa UST, sakto lang...

dream job ko? maging dj, hahaha..gusto ko nga kahit maging courtside reporter e, hahaha! pero kung sa i.t. field, parang gusto ko sa web, ngayon kasi hindi ako sa web e, so ayun, pero di pa rin ako talaga super sure sa tatahakin ng i.t. career ko, hahaha =))

nung HS din ako.. halos lahat ata sa batch namin nag exam sa uste... mga 20 kaming pumasa... hehe

share ko lang... work ko ngayon eh sa TechnoCommercial Multinational Company (ABB Inc.)... mejo todo adjust ako ngayon, kce bokya talaga ko nung pumasok ako dito, back in college kce di masyadong natackle yung substation part, eh sa division ko ngayon more on substation project kame. tapos di talaga pumasok sa icp ko na mapupunta ako sa sales part ng field ko. although mixture sya ng technical and business, mahirap nga lang talaga ipagbangga yung dalawa... but as a whole, masaya dito sa work ko, ang dami ko natutunan and matututunan pa

@ruciful good for you! at least masaya ka jan

ako, hindi ko alam kung masaya ako dito sa work ko ngayon, hahahaha! though at least may work, and may natutunan naman ako, pero...parang kulang e, hahaha..basta, yun na yun =))

thanks dindin...

share ko lang ulit...
today maraming nangyare dito sa office, mga re-organization...
mejo malungkot kce aalis na yung ka-close ko na sales manager dito, marami pa nman sana akong matututunan sa kanya. Eh nag-offer yung competitor namin ng mas malaki kaya ayun, lilipat na sya... hayysss, buhay talga..

so hindi pa pala ako nakakapagkwento. it's really nice to read and discover what's happening to my fellow tigers. imagine, pare-parehas lang tayong mga students... "yesterday". though yung iba nag-aaral pa... nauna lang tayo nang kaunti.

let me tell you a story about myself hahahaha!

i finished Architecture in the year 2008. we are required to accomplish 2 years of work experience before taking the d@mn boards.

one month after the graduation, i pushed my luck and summoned all the guts in me saying, "i want to work right away. i need to work right away." being so excited to be in the workforce, i had my chance to get hired immediately in a small design firm. tough luck eh? or i dunno, maybe it's just that i'm a thomasian and i got what it takes to get hired in no time, and mind you --- skills are concerned. (raaaaaar! proud lang, tiger eh!)

so akala ko masaya magwork agad. na-realize ko na hindi pala madali. sana nagrelax muna ako at nag-enjoy pa. anyway, to cut it short, i have been thinking about my future so much so i dived into the labor zone right after schooling. yun pala, wala rin, kasi masyado akong magastos hehehe!

i was appointed as a junior designer and project coordinator + site supervisor. i was satisfied with the experience. though maliit lang ang compensation at residential office lang siya, masaya na rin ako.

i earned little. i learned a lot.

1 year ako sa unang work ko na yun. pero naisip ko i need to grow in the other areas of my field.

so i transferred to a higher type of office. this time it's a business-commercial one concentrating on providing a wide array of workstations. from office dividers, tabletops, chairs and office accessories. mas okay ang compensation, mas okay ang environment kasi formal setting. this time, i worked as a space planner and marketing support officer. related pa rin siya sa architecture pero more on marketing and sales.

6 months lang ako dito sa office na to kasi habang tumatagal, they were trying to put me in the sales and marketing division in which, i declined several times for i really want to pursue architecture. umalis din ako after 6 months... not just because of that... pero na-bull**** na rin kasi ako sa mga boss. master-slave relationship eh.

ngayon nasa Medicotek, Inc. na ako. it's situated just a few steps from MRT boni station. that tall gray building, the paragon plaza. ka-building namin ang Magic 89.9 and Mellow Touch.

anyway, it's a design firm specializing in medical facilities and equipment. simply put, exclusively hospitals ang projects namin. we design, we construct, we provide everything in a hospital. 6 months na din ako dito at hindi ko pa naiisip na umalis kasi sobrang saya ngayon dito sa work ko kahit puro OT. dito naman, my position is a lot like my first work. i'm a junior designer and project coordinator + project development officer.

ultimate rule: you must be happy in what you do.

formal setting din kami dito. salary is okay. hindi mataas, hindi naman mababa. just enough. saan ka pa makakakita ng office na may mga boss na hindi ka sisitahin pag nag-ffb ka... manghihingi pa sila ng games sayo or magrerequest pa ng music hehehe! maingay kami sa office, puro tawanan at lokohan. kain dito, kain dyan.

ang sarap magtrabaho kapag parang kapamilya mo ang mga kasama mo.

pero hindi naman laging ganun, may downsides din naman siyempre. but those are just things that i can easily kick aside. what's important is that i learn and practice a lot of things with regards to my field and at the same time, i am happy with the people i am with.

"In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it." --John Ruskin

Whoaa tagal mo na din palang nagwwork cholzee. Akalain mo 'yun
It's really nice to hear from my fellow thomasians na naunang magwork sakin.
Ako 3 mos. pa lang at medyo nag aadjust pa. Masaya mag work, toxic din madalas. Like dindin, okay at masaya ako pero parang may kulang. Napakaaga naman kasi magsabi kung ano ba talaga gusto ko. So go with the flow muna and we'll just see... Makakapagkwento na din ako tulad ng sa inyo in a few years' time

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something. Henry Ford

@ice,

yep tama yan... ride the wave lang muna but make sure na hindi ka nalilihis sa field mo.. or if ever man, wag mong patagalin. nakaka-engganyo kasi talaga ang easy money lalo na pag decent ang amount na kinikita mo.

ako naman i think i've found the right workplace for me. pero mahirap magsalita nang tapos. what really matters as of now is nag-eenjoy ako and i learn a lot of things.

basta goodluck sa ating lahat guys.

awwwwww akalain nyong kahapon lang naka uniform tayo na pang school tas ngayon nagbabayad na tayo ng buwis! (nagbabayad ba kayo ng buwis?)

share ko na rin yung sakin:

katulad ni cholz, maaga rin ako na-employ, a month and 8 days after graduation. gusto ko na magtrabaho nun kasi naexcite ako masyado sa idea na may gagastusin akong pera na hindi galing sa magulang ko.

Although namili naman ako ng job, nasilaw ako dun sa 1st job ko kasi ang laki ng starting pay nung binigay sakin. Pero hindi sya related sa journalism, although napapractice ko naman yung writing ko.

Sobrang na-boringan naman ako dun. Although masaya kasi naging superfriends kami nung mga officemate ko nun, sobrang boring lang ng trabaho kasi repetitive tsaka sa office lang. literal na nakakabaliw sya na naapektuhan talaga yung personality ko tingin ko.

after 7 months, umalis ako kasi in-offeran ako ng NGO na related sa journ. medyo nahirapan nga ako magdesisyon nun kasi sa NGO mangangalahati yung sweldo ko, tas in-offeran ako ng promotion ng boss ko nung sa 1st job. naisip ko nalang nun hindi ako nag-aral ng AB Journalism sa UST ng apat na taon para ma-bored sa trabaho. Naiisip ko rin na wala akong kebs sa pera basta masaya ako sa ginagawa ko.

Lumipat ako sa trabaho ko ngayon after 2 months sa NGO. Alam nyo naman kung saan ako nagtatrabaho - sa isang awesome na broadcast company - at swertehan lang talaga.

Nung nasa 1st job palang kasi ako, nag apply nako nun kaso di ako kinuha kasi yun competition ko may experience na, tas ako newly grad palang. sabi nung boss (na boss ko na ngayon), kung makakapag hintay raw ba ako kukunin nya ako after a year. Hindi ko naman alam na seryoso pala sya nun kaya ako lumipat sa NGO.

anyway, yung lumipat ako from high-paying job going sa NGO = best decision i've EVER made. Andaming nagbukas na opportunities at nalinya ako sa field ko.

syempre may part 2 talaga! HAHAHHA!
-----------------
pero pinangarap ko ba 'tong trabahong to. NEVER.

nung nag journ ako sabi ko magtatrabaho ako sa magazine, at never ako magbobroadcast journ. Sabi ko sa light news lang ako at hindi magha-hard news.

Ano nangyari? Sa broadcast ako napunta. Minsan gumagawa ako ng investigative reports (which is super hard news).

Eto ba ang pangarap ko? Hindi.

Masaya ba ako? Sobra.

Ang astig kasi marami akong natututunan at nae-experience. Tas ang awesome pa ng mga tao sa office sobrang babait nila na walang halong kaplastikan.

Tas naisip ko nalang na what if kaya kinuha ako ng super awesome na magazine as writer, pero kelangan ko iwanan yung tabaho ko ngayon, tingin ko magsi-stick ako sa trabaho ko ngayon.

ergo: dun ko napatunayan na masaya nga ako sa trabaho ko.

Kaya tingin ko normal lang yung wala pang direksyon ung career nyo ngayon (pero pag mga 30y/o ka na, abay magisip ka na). Explore muna ng mga bagay bagay.

Tingin ko yung mga bagay na tingin nyo ay hindi nyo magugustuhan, bigyan nyo ng chance. Who knows diba, sobrang mainlove pala kayo run.

next time ko na lang ito babasahin aika kpag may extra time na ako, hahaha!

Nobela ba itoh?!

Wow- Ms. pixie your post is really something. Now I'm really learning. Wala kasi masyado sa nature ko ang pagiging risk-taker kaya marami akong nami-miss na mga bagay tulad ng opportunities na yan. Well, good for me kasi maaga pa, pero paano na lang kaya someday?
And narealize ko dun sa sinabi mo, na mararamdaman mo na gusto mo 'yung work mo at masaya ka sa ginagawa mo kung hindi mo na fi-feel 'yung urge na umalis or ma-tempt sa anumang mas nakakabulag na offer. SO TRUE I must envy you- for now. 'Yan din ang gusto ko na mangyari sa akin someday. I hope I'll find what's good for me and what would make me really happy.

and as for cholzee:

ride the wave lang muna but make sure na hindi ka nalilihis sa field mo.. or if ever man, wag mong patagalin. nakaka-engganyo kasi talaga ang easy money lalo na pag decent ang amount na kinikita mo.

Nakaka engganyo talaga ang offer! Hindi ko akalain dati na ganoon pero ganun pala talaga. lol Minsan kasi dadating sa point na maiisip mo: "Do I really deserve what I get?" Or "I won't care that much for the compensation, basta masaya ako OK na." You have to choose, and making that choice is difficult- for me at least.

yeah correct. and it's difficult for everyone. maski sa akin. may mga offers na double pa ng kinikita ko currently sa work ko. pero dein. i've learned and worked so hard para matapos ang kurso ko sa kolehiyo. and not to mention yung gastos. mataas kasi talaga ang tuition fee sa course ko. isa yan talaga sa mga dilemma ng isang tao. pero i'm sure naman that there's success if you love what you do.

ah, true, lagi nga nila sinasabi, you have to love what you do..kasi kung hindi, kahit anong pilit mo, mahihirapan ka, or at least, hindi mo siya talaga ma-e-enjoy diba..and i have yet to find that, yung mageenjoy ako..maaga pa naman, kakastart ko lang naman sa "field" or whatever, haha..so i'll get there..

ako, masaya na ko sa job na nagaantay sa akin after graduation. I just need my diploma then I'm good to go. na absorb kasi sa isang company na pinag trainingan ko. Just compensation + happy work + great people = AWESOME. swertehan na lang talaga.

wow, good for you! may nagaantay na agad na job sa'yo after graduation..wala kang balak magbakasyon? haha..tama, swertihan nga lang talaga..good luck!

) wala. ) kasi kung ngaun almost whole day ako sa school + business, halos wala nalang, (knowing toxic mag business). pag nawawalan ng pasok sa school, ok na ok kasi ramdam ko. hahaha

7 days after kong grumaduate napasok ako sa malaking consulting form as an associate software engineer. Nag training ng 3 months nabench ng 1/12 month bago nadeploy sa project.

Laking tulong ng USTe sa employment ko lalo na sa field(IT) na nakuha ko. Kami na mismo namimili ng kumpanyang pagapply-an namin at nagkakadilemma pa kung kanino ang tatanggaping offer.

Ngayon consultant nako dito sa great white north dahil kilala nila yung previous company na pinagtrabahuhan ko na napasok ako dahil sa USTe.

Masaya. Mahirap. You learn something everyday and the best part is you can have a looot of mistakes and grow from it. (wag mo lang idedeploy).
