Do I mean the word EXCITE literally? honestly no. EXCITE means for us is Enhancement and eXpansion of Capability in Information Technology and English. It is a project created for teachers in elementary and secondary level to help them develop and improve their knowledge in the said area, and we are fortunately enough to be part of the EXCITE team.
At first, I really don't have any idea of what the PREVAT building is for. Our dear teacher and Supervisor Engr. Roy Andrada texted us if we are available to apply and if we are, we just need to go to URS Morong by Monday which is September 5, 2011 at PREVAT building. So I started to wonder, what is that building and what does that acronym stands for. (haha, so funny because I forgot to ask Sir Roy of what kind of job we will be applying for, because I was so amused by the proposal and the chance to work together with Billy). So last September 5, 2011, me and Billy went there to apply but unsure of what exactly the position we are applying for. We just learned from our teacher before in college, that it is related to being a computer laboratory facilitator because we stop by at STI first before we went to URS Morong. When we arrived at URS campus, we asked the guard where the PREVAT building is. After logging to their record list, we continue to the said building and wait for our interview. The rest is history! lol. :D And by the way, now we know what PREVAT stands for, Province of Rizal Educators Value-Added Training Center.
We didn't expect to be accepted there that quickly, but since they urgently needed an IT Assistant (that is the time that we became aware and become clear to us our position and what our job exactly is) we are lucky to be hired. Not to mention, we are indeed so lucky that they accepted both of us, because we are already aware of the possibility that they will not accept two person in a relationship together to work in the same company to avoid connivance and other reasons possible. But we are not hiding also our relationship and they are aware of it. That is why we are so thankful to them, but we are also making sure that we will be professional to the point that what we have will not affect our performance in a negative way. We will not take our job for granted since this is an interesting job for us, it is related to our course and we already had an experience being a mentor before for out of school youths. But of course, there are big differences from before. Up to now, we were able to adjust and cope to the working environment and at the same time learn something new that will enhance also our skills and improve more.
This will be our FIRST job and at the same time FIRST job together. (Aside from our last job experiences that is temporary.) Tomorrow will be the start of our 3rd week at work and we are looking forward to a much smooth, less worries days that will have a good result overall.
Gambatte kudasai! ♥
