Opinion Article: OJT Dilemmas

Since, I have no idea what will be my next blog post. I decided to share my Opinion article about my OJT. I think this one was worth a share.. Funny because most the things in here were the negative effects of my OJT to me. Well, I'm just trying to be honest that's all. 

So, here's my article. Hope you'll enjoy reading it.

"Summer is coming. The bright sunshine days and the warm breeze of the air are tempting everyone to dive into the nearest beaches and pools. Long rest and vacations were already scheduled as summer comes. Who wouldn’t love summer? And while everyone is excited for their summer 2013, me I probably be busy with my internship and will probably be missing everything that is fun about summer.

Since first year college, I already know that my OJT (On the Job Training) is in the summer of my 3rd year. I was totally good and excited by that time whenever I’m hearing about the opportunities that I might get when I become an intern. Then the OJT time comes, and I felt no excitement anymore about it. 

Just recently and until now, I realized that I never wanted to have my OJT and never wanted to do my OJT this summer. I have been really exhausted and tired because of the tons of school works that has been shouldered upon me. I just thought that summer is the only therapy that I could have to forget and escape all the heavy loads that I have in past school days. Well, my OJT ruined that thought. 

Though I was never willing and never happy about it, I still forced myself to apply for my OJT. Applying was fun and hard at the same time. You will feel like you really are applying for a real job. I send my resumes to the companies I want to work with via email or in some companies I just apply walk in.

This made feel excited. The experience that I got in applying for my OJT made me realized that it was never easy to apply for a job; you should be patient and hardworking at the same time. Well that’s what I learn when I go to the companies that I applied. I was motivated to pursue and focus for my OJT. Motivated to find the right company that I think will fit to my talent and abilities. So, I sent my resume to all companies that I think will help for my OJT.

The excitement becomes a frustration when I have got zero calls while many of my friends are already been contacted by the companies they applied to. But hope is what Rogue Magazine gave me when they responded to my application, only hope and nothing more.

Frustration becomes depression. I got really depressed when school is going to be over and I still have no sign of luck in my OJT. Then opportunity knocks, I’ve got a message from a publishing house asking for my interest of being an Intern in their company. So what will you do if an opportunity comes in your life? Of course, you take it, and so I take it.

Now I have an OJT for this summer. Yet I don’t feel satisfied to the company that I’ll be working with. And aside from that I still missed the old days where I used to spend my summer doing things you do when it is summer. I don’t know if I’m going to be happy but I wish I could.

However, no matter how ruined my summer will probably be because of my OJT and how unsatisfied I am to the company I’ll be working with, I will still find a way to make everything fun and enjoyable. I still believe that there’s always a room for fun, so I’ll reserved a room for it."



PS: Just this morning, i got a txt from my classmate that I'd be having an appointment in ABS-CBN on Monday, April 1. I hope that this it! This is really for real. :) Please pray for it :DD
