They tell us we need to talk first to the Administrative Officer then they tell us to wait for Mrs. Brigida G. Fajardo to interview us. We give our application letter together with our resume to Mrs. Fajardo she interview us and ask about some of our skills, we answered her question well and with courteous and then she tell us to go back on November 8, 2010 for the orientation.
Mrs. Fajardo orients us on what are the things that we should do on our OJT period. She assigned us to different supervisors and department.

I will forever treasure the time I have as a
