Dear 2017

Dear 2017,

What a wonderful year you are! You have reminded that there's nothing I can do as long as I believe in me and as long as I have faith in Him. You have reminded that I have been through worst before, this is just a piece of cake.

I was a limbo, way back in January but you hit me hard that I had a courage to step out of what has been my comfort zone for the past three years. I took the challenge once again and braved out into the field of opportunities.

And I found my way to what has been an immersion at PMFTC by February where I met some amazing people, whom some I become friends with. In way I was given a chance to taste what it was like again to be in a corporate world, somehow, it was the kind of environment that I kind a miss.
But of course, after a short immersion followed a time to make a good decision since my time with EACS was about to end.

So,March has come...EACS chapter is officially closed and I was floating once again, not really sure which path I should take. 

I wander for a few weeks until you help me find the courage to finally explore into the BPO industry, not to mention that it was actually my dream to be part of it. However, I did not have much courage before, mainly because I lack the confidence in me due to my educational background and of course my verbal English proficiency. I had been to a few interviews back in time and it was usually what barred me from getting in.

But of course that didn't stop me, I watched youtube videos on how to nail a call center interview, practice each day until I was finally able to find the courage to send an application.
Hard work did not fail me , I made my way tomy first BPO company by the end of April, and booom! there start my call center journey.

Unfortunately it was a short- lived romance with them, came June 30 I bade goodbye. 

July has come but this time I wasn't feeling like being in limbo again. I have gain so much courage with my two-month stay at my first BPO company.

There comes August, I made my way to another BPO company but then it was yet another short-lived because of some unavoidable circumstances.

September made its way, while I was still studying, trying to improve my verbal English through youtube tutorials.

October came along with a new opportunity that was so surreal!I had been asking if that was real because never ever did I bother to just imagine of sending an application to this company because of much talked high standards that they have. I once had an interview with them during a job caravan in Ayala which of course I was turned down because of my lack of cc experience and educational background.

Luckily, I found my place there and  still lucky to have been staying there until this day. One thing that amazed myself , is the fact that I am able to handle a voice account. For some it maybe an easy or perhaps the simplest account but for it is a great achievement specially when you hear from interviewers a lot of time that I have so many lapses in my pronunciation, which I still have up until now.

Thank you 2017 for the amazing year:
- the year when I muster my courage once again
- the year when I met another amazing people whom some became my dear friends
- the year when I met amazing mentors who has helped me a lot in so many way both personal and professional
