Learn it, live it, love it.

All my life I've been wondering what my job would be the moment I’m done with college. Like many others, I've always had my preferences. I don't want a job that would eat me totally. A great job, for me, may require some overtimes here and there, but it shouldn't stop me from doing my own things. A great job's salary should compensate the workload assigned because then the company should've just hired another person to do the other extended tasks. A fantastic company should give its employees fast, or at least steady, opportunities to grow because that is a sign of the company's growth as well.

I first worked for Tyler as a part time stylist because I wanted to. I love clothes, I love them on people, I love them on me. The people I met were terribly amazing, fasyon, couture, lovely, and adorable. The relationships I made with the people and the people I styled are irreplaceable. The job was not so much of a challenge as I first thought it would be because even during stressful moments, I knew I was doing something I loved.

Working for Tyler made me more idealistic when it comes to my very first real job. Tyler was a hobby, not a job, anyway. There have been a lot of interviews and screening processes from different companies within the last 2 months but Splash Corpation's offer was the most compatible with my own Career Objectives. God, I hope I made the right decision.

I am looking forward to the Management Trainee Program because from what I’ve heard, I was the only person to be assigned to the Marketing Department after training, making me the only trainee lucky enough to handle one Splash product after the program. The others were assigned at Production, Sales, or Finance. I can't wait to show them all I've got. I can’t wait to apply everything I’ve learned from all the lessons, seminars, trainings, and real-life life experiences in the tasks that I will be doing. I've waited and prepared for this my whole life, I hope I don't fuck it up.

John Nip Cua (Former PnG President) once said during our training days at MarkProf: "Love your job and you'll never work the rest of your life." I can't wait to work. It's too exciting I can't keep it to myself!
