OMG: Career Planning Workshop

Sa dami ng reklamo ko sa trabaho, eto na ata ang sagot na pinadala ng Panginoon sa 'kin. Siguro, kahit si Lord naumay na sa mga himutok kaya kahit na He wants me to find the answer on my own, binigyan na Niya ako ng clue: pina-attend Nya ako ng seminar about career growth.

It's a company initiative training that is being held on different schedules. We happen to be booked on the training na ang lecturer ay ang aming very own Vice President for Operations, Ms. Camille Conlu. Ayan siya:

The training was short but substantial, and it gave me a broader perspective of what our company has to offer: all along, I thought na wala na akong pwedeng gawin sa company kung hindi sumagot ng calls; yun pala, I've my eyes shut all the while. I failed to see the countless opportunities that await me. All I have to do is to take that step forward.

Based on the lecture, I need to know my self first. Kasi this is how I gauge my potentials. Knowing my self helps me to pin point my strengths and weaknesses, and this will help me a lot in finding what job would suit me best.

After that, I need to explore the options. Look around. Hindi natatapos sa apat na sulok ng work station ang career ko. Marami pang trabaho within the company that will also fit me based on my qualifications.

Then, make a decision. I believe this is the part na once you've decided to go for your goal, you also have to prepare ahead of time. So, if I've already decided to take a new path, I need to prepare as early as today.

Finally, I have to move on. That's when I have to step forward into new challenges (Valedictory speech ba ito? xoxo).


So there. After the seminar, I realized that HSBC is never too small a company for those who know how to maximize its benefits. I've decided I will start preparing to become the trainer that I want to be. Sabi nga ni Ms Camille, "First, speak to me in English.", sabi ko naman, "OK mam, I wil praktis my inglis pers"


MWAH!
