Pierre and Paul is my first company to work with but unfortunately, I didn’t want the nature of the work so I decide to look for another company that will give me an opportunity to learn more and it was related on my course. My concern classmate informed me that National Bookstore Inc. is looking for Interns so I grab it.

I started my OJT on July 29, 2013 at National Bookstore Inc. I really amazed and glad because we all know that National Bookstore Inc. is a well known company in our company. I was assigned at the HR Department because the Assistant HR Manager their said that they need OJT’s on their department. I accept it because I wanted to assign there.
At first, It was hard to understand what I was going to do maybe because I still don’t know the process or the flow of my work and that I am pressured because I didn’t know those people on my surrounding.
The first task they gave to me is fill plastic cover those 201 file folder of some regular employees to avoid unclean folder, I find it boring at first but suddenly, I enjoy it because I know it’s a part of my job. They also ask me to file all the 201 files and transactions they are doing. When I’m in storage room where all the 201 file of the regular employees, trainee, head office, memo, complain and other confidential documents, Sir Josh also a Recruitment Assistant there told me that my life will change because of their storage room. I ask why to myself and find it by myself and in my everyday life there I found the answer behind those words that Sir Josh told to me.
I also encode the 201 file of the employees through HRIS of the National Bookstore. It’s time consuming because of some not complete details but when the time goes by, I find it easy and do it fast as much as I can so that my co-intern there always ask me why I work cool.
I receive some important documents like contract, 201 files, confidential files and etc. And I also do compensation. I receive calls all the time, at first I really hate to do it and it irritates me because of lack of information regarding to their question but as the days goes by, I found it interesting because it enhance my listening skills, knowledge to answer those questions, and communicate well. I also entertain those applicants and administered tests to them.
Interviewing an applicant makes my knee shake specially those who apply with high position because of fear of making wrong grammar, mental block, being stock in the middle of talking, lack of knowledge in doing interview to applicants, I have some idea but I didn’t know how and when to apply it during the interview. But when I already know the process, I have a confidence to interact with the applicants even though they are applying for a high position because Ma’am Maricel told me that don’t look on what university or if that person is in a high level of his/her professionalism because everyone of us has a unique skills and knowledge to do some things.
I also assist some training in our office like Kobo Training for Managers and ACT Training for trainees. Super tired in preparing things but worth it and glad in the end of the day because I give my full effort to be a part in preparing of that kind of training.
I also enjoy those important tasks that Ma’am Ayanne gave it to me because as an Intern, she gave me an opportunity to express myself on how will I able and to know my capability on doing things in my own way. It really help me a lot to build a confident to myself. On my 2nd month until the end of my OJT, at this time I can say that I am more familiar to my duties and at the same time less supervision is given to me. I can now work faster than before, I am no longer hesitant to do all the assigned work because I'm already used to it.
I want to acknowledge God for the protections, provision and strength in my every day work, for my mentors in National Bookstore for their effort, patient to assist me every time I ask for their assistant and also for giving their trust to me in my work, and I also want to thank Ma’am Ayanne for giving those important task because she trust me that I will done it well. Thank you to Ma’am Ribaya for giving this task not as our final requirement to her subject but an opportunity to express ourselves, to help for others and thru this, I build a good relationship with my office mate.
