How about teaching, are you interested to teach? I donât know sir! Maybe, what do you think sir?
Non Scholae Sed Vitae - Not of School but of Life
I am a UNCean! I am proud to be one of them⦠Most importantly, I am part of the new breed of UNC Graduates! Those who know themselves well and are confident to face anything because we were prepared for this while we were inside the school campus!
Life is far greater and bigger than what you see inside the school! As what I always tell my students âYou are very much protected inside the school but once you go outside, it will no longer be the same! Remember, we consider you as our young brothers and sisters, young friends, and young children, but once you step outside the world and try to walk on your own, it will no longer be as nice as what we are inside this school. You will now face the rudeness and the pressure outside! So inside this campus, make sure that youâll get all the things that you need. Be ready and be prepared, there are billions of human being outside, not even 1% of them will consider you friend.â
When I graduated college, employment was never been my problem, the day after the graduation night I am already employed! I started applying, December of 2006, at least four (4) months before my graduation, I donât know, maybe because I was just too confident of my skills or maybe just too excited to start working (I think Iâll go for the second reason-more believable.) luckily I got a lot of return calls, well I applied in Manila (how confident of me!) I was even offered a senior programmer position but was not able to get the position because it was urgent and I was still in college during that time. Until now I am still included in the short-list of Tsukiden, Fujitsu, and Convergys (Programming Firm).
My first ever job was, a part-time graphic artist at Twister Advertising (Nah! I said no when they hire me as their in-house artist, imagine I have to work as trainee for six (6) months without salary! How can I stay in Naga without my salary? Iâve always promised myself that the day after my graduation I should never ask money from my parents again!) after declining Twister Advertising offer, I was hired by UNC College year book committee, well I was lucky to be chosen as one of the representative of our Department (They actually selected two (2) students from each department to make-up that UNC Red and Gray Team for 2007). It was a month long work. My first ever salary after graduation was eight thousand pesos (Php 8,000.00) in a month long work! That is where my standard came from. I should never earn lower than 8,000 after my first job.
After working in UNC, I had undergone the English Proficiency Training; well I wasnât actually planning to work as call center agent. I just wanted to try, practice and improve my skills in English! Luckily, I was one of the members of Suzette Ubaldeâs Class, until now me are Suzette are still friends! Before finishing my EPP Training, I was asked by one of my former professor, what is your plan? Are you planning to go somewhere? I told him, I want to go to Manila but I think I still have to wait for one (1) year because of you know who, I canât leave her now, weâve talked about it and planned that we will both go to Manila after a year! (Well all of my college professors know about the story me and my Vice-President, nah!). Then he said what about Tsukiden, Fujitsu, and Convergys? Are you not planning to grab the opportunity, your friend Jane is already working there? I told him as much as I want to, but I donât want Manila yet! Anyway I am still earning something out of my sidelines. I also hate to leave because I am helping our church here in Naga and she will hate me when I leave. How about teaching, are you interested to teach? I donât know sir! Maybe, what do you think sir? Marinersâ is looking for a Computer Instructor, why donât you try. You may use me as your reference! Sure sir, Iâll try⦠Luckily I was hired by Mariners.
The first day of school at Marinersâ was a bit hard, because I was nervous, excited, and feels indifferent. I was afraid because I know I am very young to be their instructor and this will be the first time that I will be facing students and will be talking in front as their instructor.
The first time I was introduce to my students by Mr. Jerry Nolasco, (he helps me a lot) I feel a little bit awkward, but after releasing a deep breath and start talking I feel comfortable and start delivering everything. The very first thing that I did was to give them my course outline and started to give my class requirements!
When I started teaching at Marinersâ I saw my former College Dean, Mr. Cloyd San Juan told me, why didnât you told me that you wanted to teach? I was considering you to be part of my College! I told him, I thought UNC-Computer Studies was not looking for any additional instructor. He told me âSayang Jay! If only! You were on my list! Letâs see next semester, I might give you loads. He even asked me how much are you earning? I told him so, he said, âNot bad, but I could give you 3X what youâre hourly rate now is! Sayang talaga Jayâ I told him its ok sir, I enjoy teaching at Marinersâ. Unfortunately, hiring at UNC was freeze until last semester. I also had a little regret but at the end of the day, I still considered myself lucky to be part of Marinersâ. Last semester, enrollees at UNC-Computer Studies were very low and that is the reason why I wasnât given a load and the chance to be part of UNC Family, my home⦠Well at least I am still under their short list. The right time will just come if it is for meâ¦
Marinersâ was fine with me but my heart long for my true nature. I am an Information Technology Graduate. I am looking for a bigger challenge and a bit harder subject to handle! That is why I applied at AMACC-Magsaysay. Luckily I was hired! When I was at AMACC I was able to handle challenging subjects, even though I only teach there for a semester (well almost two, I only resigned because I can no longer handle my schedule when I started my Masters Degree) students became very much close to me, until now, we still see each other and they still consult me with their decisions!
Last June, I was excited to work in a new school (PCFC! I hope so) but then our schedule did not much! I feel very sad during that time because I am very much excited in the idea of new environment and new working relationship. Iâve always wanted to work in a new environment! But, Maâam Aidez, told me that I might still have loads next semester. Iâm excited and I really hope to have the chance in working at PCFC Naga. I am excited and looking forward for that day!
I am not being boastful in writing this blog! I just wanted to share my career path. May God continue giving me what I deserve!
