My experience in Pina Colina Resort was good. I gained so much knowledge that I can apply to my future work. I learned that working is not that easy especially in our field because you need to deal with other people that you don’t even know. We need to be kind to the guests so that we can have a good impression to them. Since this is our first time to do a On-the-Job Training, I need to adjust in the environment. Since the Pina Colina Resort is located in Tagaytay, me and my Classmates are decided to rent a house to stay while we are completing the hours of our Training.
Moving on to the “First day’, my schedule on that day is 9 am - 6 pm. My first task on that day was serving the food in Dining since our Training is specialized in restaurant. I’ve learn how to serve the foods correctly,how to greet guest nicely, how to bus the utensils and plates, etc. Our training was fun. It’s inspiring to do each tasks because we can learn new things.
There were days that seems to be difficult because the training is getting heavy. Our Supervisor ask me to stay on the Dining Area to serve 160 pax. Although I have a Dining Buddy on that day, it was so tiring because you need to bus, and clean those mess up. You just need to be patient when hard times come.
Some days are tiring but some days are not that hard. Because not all days has a guest. In our training, we also gained friends. We laughed, we enjoyed having “chika minute” to the employees of the resort. Also I love the fact that when we are going to have our break time, we can sleep at the attic or do whatever we want. We can eat foods for free. It feels like home when we’re there. Because we can still be what we are while on the training, but we need to remember the reality that were not really at home but we are on the job training.
Some days may be difficult but we can still cope to it because we still enjoying it. I also experienced the days that may seem to be super
