Job Hunting

I can't believe that it's been a year since I worked as an OJT for SMART last summer. In our yearbook, I described the PLDT Student Camp as the ultimate OJT experience. It really was. My OJT friends and I had a lot of fun and memorable times at the different activities that the company planned for us. We worked and had fun at Enchanted Kingdom for a day, we saw PBA players at our Sportsfest, and most importantly, we experienced first-hand work. Add to that the friends that each of us gained (those that you miss a year after you last saw them ), what more can you ask for?

Now a year after, PLDT Student Camp is looking for a new batch of OJTs. A number of my friends and orgmates have already been interviewed. I got to chat with each of them tonight, thanks to Ish's phone and Globe's (and I thought Ish wanted to work for SMART) call unlimited promo. It resulted to ten minutes of goodlucks and kamustas to Ish, Dalin, Geo, Carlos, and Daryll. Goodluck guys! I hope you get the job!

I was shocked that some of my junior orgmates were starting their summer jobs this Monday. It made me remind myself that I have to go looking for that perfect job soon. I really have to start job hunting soon if I want the cash flowing in by mid-June.

As for my good friend and "twin", Rhea, I guess that perfect job already landed on her lap. She started work at Vinta yesterday and up to now I still haven't heard her first-day-at-the-job story. I hope she'll be there to tell me all about it at our first Friday night dinner for the summer.

All the talk of work makes me very excited and a bit nervous. Welcome to the real world, Chubbs! that's what it all seems to tell me. But I still feel very lucky. As Bea, a highschool friend, told me, these are the times that we have so many options in life. Times of choosing our paths in life are rare, so we have to realize their value. That's why we all feel so confused. I guess what we just have to do is weigh those options and know what we really want in life. We just have to choose wisely and hopefully in the future, we won't regret the choices we made along the way.
