PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE IN ACER PHILIPPINES, INC. ;))

on-the-job Training done! Hurray! ;))

Yehey! Finally! 250 hours! I'm done ;) bwahaha.. ;)

I really find it hard looking for a certain company to have my 250 hours on-the-job training. If you don’t have any connections then your resume might be ignored most especially for companies with high regards when it comes to trainees.

At first, I was very intrigue when I entered in this company and get interviewed by the HR Manager. I am really confident that I will be working in this company. I was oriented by the HR Personnel and got toured inside the company. As I go and walk in front of the employees, with the big boss and others, I told myself that someday, I will be also working in this kind of company, one of the most outstanding Top 10,000 companies in the world. I told myself that I will be a confident team player and I will have my dedication and loyalty in this company for I will be hired here someday.

As I go there and had my first day, I wasn’t able to do the job ahead of the time assigned because I was still adjusting in terms of the environment most especially my colleagues. 

As I was engage in bookkeeping, filing, encoding and computation of subsidies and claims by different companies, I realized that accounting is not that easy if you did not learn anything from your background in the school, or in your Accounting Subjects.

            When my supervisor gave me my assigned task for that day, I was shocked because she placed bulky files in front of me and told me to collate those invoices and order numbers. She didn’t told me exactly what will I do in the files after this and after that so I just followed the sequence and the other files and folders there for me to get my job right done and on time.

            After some days I spent there, some of my colleagues always go to my room and give me some drinks and cookies. Yes, they are very kind and very friendly. They always tell me that I shall not be shy to them, “go there if you want, have coffee in the pantry and feel at home”.

            I just also observed that the employees there are very serious when it comes to working time. If it is time to work then they are all busy working, no talks, and no chitchats. They just talk if it’s already break time. During break time I and my co-trainee always eat at Mcdonalds, Sbarro, and Goldilocks. Sometimes we are eating inside the office if there is any delivery for the employees.

            As my practicum hours get very near to be finished, I told myself that I will really miss working in this company. As I had my last three days there, I was assigned to do some accounting works that are really hard if you are not an open-minded person to analyze each and every detail of that paper. I was again shocked but still I enjoyed that one because I felt that I am already an accountant for almost 250 hours of our on-the-job training in Acer.

            I really had fun and enjoyed my stay there in Acer Philippines, Inc. I am proud because I brought Centro Escolar University and  School of Accountancy and Management’s name in their company with integrity and with the desire to work there as one of their employees after graduation.
