Internship Reflection

As part of our requirements, we have to undergo an on-the-job training for 300 hours. It took me more than a week to find a company that will accept me as their trainee. I found two companies that has vacancy and that were PNB or (Philippine Nacional Bank) and DBP Legazpi Branch (Development Bank of the Philippines). I chose DBP because I live in Legazpi and it is 1 ride from home to DBP and 1 ride to school. Aside from that, one of the employees was my father's former workmate also the other employees were so accommodating and in fact, they were the ones who insisted to do my OJT with them because they need a trainee to automate ad lessen their works.

For more than three months, it became my daily routine to wake up early even if the office is just one ride away from my house, also I was not used to wake up early because on my previews years, some of my subjects starts at 9:00AM or even 10:00am it was a huge adjustment to me. Every morning, I see to it that the office is clean because many clients always go in and out of the office, the lights should be turned on, always check the transaction box for new documents to be filed, and always check the outgoing box of madam on her table. I am always tasked to bring files to different departments for signing. Sometimes I get tired, but they always gave us free snacks. My primary task is to check the clearing entries on the terminal number machines for skipped transactions. There are times that when there are a lot of clients we are allowed to help the cash department. I always volunteer to help on the cash department because I want to learn everything and to expand my knowledge on the field of finance although I am a marketing student, It did not bother me at all, but there are times that after my duty in the morning, I go to school in the afternoon every Tuesdays and Thursdays to attend my major subject but sometimes I have no idea what to do I feel out of place. But that did not bother me at all.
