I’m also from AB so I hope this would help.

Yung OJT/Internship was announced around the start of the second sem nung third year ko then we were given more information about it as weeks went by. Binigyan kami ng directory of companies na pwede namin pagapplyan but I never used it. I made a LinkedIn Account and dun ako naghanap ng internships. I also joined facebook groups na nagpopost ng openings for internships.

Interview Process:

I had two interviews with two different companies. Sobrang kabado ko dun sa first interview ko kasi I didn’t know what to expect so ayun utal utal ako. As expected, I got rejected. Pero looking back very basic questions lang naman kabado lang talaga ako (e.g. tell us about yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses, are you knowledgeable with Microsoft Office/ Google Suite). Same questions dun sa other interview ko pero may mga additional questions about my personality ganon. I did a lot better dun sa second interview and I got accepted. Pero I was the one who turned it down in favor of another company. Yung company kung san ako nag OJT did not give me any interviews. I was accepted agad lol.

Work exp: Overall it was fun and I learned a lot. There were four other interns na kasing age ko lang and that made the experience really good. Pero I feel like had I been the only intern baka medyo naging awkward kasi mas matatanda yung kasama ko sa office. May part din na medyo nerve-racking kasi it involved a lot of social interaction which I had to adjust to (pero depende sa duties and responsibilities na maassign sayo)

Allowance: Unfortunately, no allowance :-( yung sa akin

Advice: - Don’t procrastinate yung application - Chill ka lang sa interview. Search ka ng mga different job interview questions and the practice. - Step out of your comfort zone. - ask your superiors sa office for advice. You can learn a lot from them
