On-the-Job Training at Makati

Looking at high and tall buildings makes people imitate you. Strolling in Makati makes you feel like you're in New York or  in Wall street.

Not doing only clerical thingie such as typing, photocopying and be a messenger but we do lots and looooots of inventories of all floors like checking, tallying, balancing and sticker tagging (not to mention common sense here and photographic memory) I also learned on how to interact with the employees and adapting to be in a professional way. This OJT experience teaches us on how to be patient (not to mention doing manual inventories), on how to dress appropriately and of course, personally learned separating work from family. Whatever exasperation you had at work shouldn't be brought to your house so there would be no conflicts.

I may not be in a position to say this but based through my observations, patience and being practical (madiskarte) are the main things to be successful or should I say to survive at the very competitive world.

I've also noticed that, the lower the position the more obnoxious the person is. The higher the position the more humble and kind the person is. Pobably because the person with a low/normal position is still striving to be on top that's why he/she is aggressive. While seniors are already complacent and reached their goal to be like that.

But both positions are very essential to a company so...Life is really like that =)

OJT: Feb 1-4

Had a tiring yet exciting week for me. I was assigned to the General Services at PSBank Makati.
We did some sort of paperworks stuff such as typing, writing and organizing inventories.
I had made friends with the PUP QC, the same department as I am. They're nice :)

Our work time usually starts at 8:30AM - 5:30PM. So, I wake up at 5:00AM then at 6:30AM off I go =)

AROUND 8:30AM either I have nothing to do or resuming my yesterday's work.

AT 12:30PM: Every lunch time we go to the pantry (first run, first serve though) haha.
Their AC's are so freakin'cold that I have to go out just to "defrost" myself  LOL. Then chit-chat with my friends and walking around the building/Makati.

AT AROUND 1:30PM: Work again.

5:30PM: ta-ta!!

Going home for about 1.5hours! ZzZz..

Mey Lin pot & noodle house

Yesterday was a busy day for me looking for OJT offers around Makati City. Good thing I had my map in my reliable digicam, so my friend and I had visited 8 companies around 2.5hours.

 

My original plan was to search around Ortigas if ever I finished early at Makati. Unfortunately, at around 4PM, I just went straight to Megamall while my friend went home instead.

I was waiting for my hubby Megamall, sleepy and hungry! So I went to Dulcinea to ease my hunger and ordered 1 Catalanes. Yummy!:)

As I walk around the mall, I saw this restaurant.

 

 

 

 They served us jasmine tea as we were waiting for our food.

 

 

As I look around the restaurant, I noticed that their theme does not match to "chinese theme", instead, it was like pinky peachy in color and modern style (like cozy county style). but anyway it's cute! And the heck I care, I'm into their food not their tables/chairs and stuff :p

Kimchi noodle soup under Hand-pulled noodles that has 2 choices of either snack (130Php / $2.86) or meal (180Php / $3.96)

 choices of noodles: thick, thin or flat.

I was so shocked when I saw their big bowl of soup.. as in big! And there was a guy who also ordered a soup that even he cannot finish it all up. Kimchi noodle soup is not that spicy and mediocre for me, their noodles is like pasta in thickness.

 

Yang chow rice for 210Php / $4.62

 

Their Yang chow rice can be consumed by 2-3 persons.

 

Chicken cubes with dried chili

240Php / $5.28

This one is tasty, it has viscous consistency and not too hot nor spicy. Chicken cubes are soft and oh! it also contain peanuts :)

OJT

I'm now searching for companies offering OJTs!
I'm kinda excited to be in a corporate world, they say it is stressful enough to let you resign? wait a minute, I'm talking about OJT not actual work okay? see how excited I am??

So anyway, I'm sitting here searching & sending emails to the companies because my intern will be on January. I'll probably go to makati this month or maybe on the first week of January (walk-in) so that I can explore and be familiarize with the places and of course an experience.

So tell me, how was your OJT? or your current OJT?
