OJT days.. quite an adventure..

It's been a very long time since i last posted on this blogger. Sayang napakaformal pa naman... Anyway let me start with how my life was going.. the last 2 to 3 months. It started this january that im on my last term as a fourth year college student ...sadly seeing most of my batchmate "id 101" graduating and finishing their thesis.. as for me i still have 1 whole school year to go and two minor subjects to go and last masteral subject and of course the ever problematic thesis sad to say.... hard to accept and difficult to digest.... Well things went great last term and i was able to pass all subjects (thank God) although i fall short to getting a first honor dean's lister... so that was march.. to roll back a little bit.. we're required to look for companies for our OJT.. and mind you i have already made a list of companies that i would want to work for. i even made a list of my capabilities for my resume and take note i really made my resume as presentable as possible.. of course i can say that im quite proud of it... kind of expecting that i won't have a hard time looking for a job. so i procrastinated.. waited for the last minute before even applying to the first company on the list which was ePldt.. so i was not rejected at all but the problem was they have no vacancy or need for interns meaning i have to wait until someone is willing to use an intern so i wasted two weeks or even 3 weeks waiting for epldt's call.. i called them about twice or thrice .. but still no news until Sherine finally convince me to pass my resume to other company and stop waiting for epldt's response. so i did.. although i was very hesitant.. thanks to her she really helped me applied in SMART imagine we walked into SMART tower and she helped submit my resume to the HR and we were instructed to waited for their call.. we also went to HP however their recruitement for ojt was already over that time.
So after a few weeks... we (some comsci friends) became desperate and went around ayala approaching every company we can and leaving our resume n hope for their employment. so after a few days of waiting finally ... smart called me and set me up for a technical meeting on its IT department.. imagine the pressure, the HR told that there are two candidate for a single position and one of that candidate was me .. it's either a make or a break so if on that interview day they didn't like me.. then that's the end of my application meaning one of us has to go and one of us will be chosen. so imagine the pressure.. i arrived at SMART tower 930 the next day and i sat on the sala set in the waiting area waiting for my turn ... the other candidate was already being interviewed and i have to wait for my turn.. until it was finaly my turn.. seeing my competitor laughing his way out with the surpervisor or interviewer.. i was so challenged and curious how his interview went.. maybe they already get along well.. so there goes the interview... the interviewer was soon to be my supervisor he has long hair and somewhat cool personality. the interview went well.. and after that i was instructed to go back to the HR .. i thought i will be eliminated since i was the only one told to go back to the HR ... then upon reaching the HR .. i was told that both of us was accepted .. so that was the end of applying for ojt finally i got a position and a job at smart.. quite excited... and there.. things went well for a month i was able to enjoy the good and cheap (affordable) food at smart.. , the comfortable office, my 2gig ram computer and also kind fellow staff.. the ojt went well for 250 hours finally it ended just first week of july... It was kind of fun and at the same time tiring since.. i also have a part time job .. developing systems for a small company and i have to work at home after office hours until midnight .. and in the morning i still have to go back to the office until school year began and now i have three major things to juggle.. school or may i say four things .... to juggle, school, thesis, smart ojt, partime imagine .. glad i did survive.... anyway finally today is the final stage of my ojt, just came home from graduation.. and now continuing the system for my parttime. Anyways i guess that's the whole story of how i got in to smart and how things went.. after that.. now im back to school taking up my last few subjects and continuing my thesis, and stuff... I guess things went a bit lighter after ojt but still ... i feel restless.. (to be cont..sleepy sorry for all my gramatic errors.. sheesh .. im too sleepy that 's all)..ZzzZz...
