when it rains… it pours
sabi nga nila… when it rains.. it pours…
maybe it would be good to start this blog on how i got the job..
way back in 2004, mark and i went here to manila right after lolo died. mga 3 months pa lang kaming kasal. both of us were trying hard to find a job.. maybe because i came from the province and stayed there for about a year, i had difficulty going to makati. though i used to work there before,, parang biglang di na ako marunong magikot ikot. so the easiest way was to look for a job via the internet…
and "lina" from job street helped me find one… i was lucky to be accepted as one of the health aides for one of the hospitals in kuwait… they were just awaiting for my papers then… although i wasnt really ready… imagine my marriage is just 3 months old… it breaks my heart just the thought of leaving him behind… and my paranoia sinks in due to my past relationships… but when i think about the other side… i know it would be best to help my parents and it would be start for my own family…
half-hearted as i was… i asked mark to go back to aklan to get our things… i decided it would be best for him to settle with my parents… while he was gone, i asked lina for help… i was curious about the booming call center industry… and while surfing, i stumbled upon john clements…
days after, i was already scheduled for an interview. I asked God to give me a sign… to whether if it is God’s will for me to work abroad or if its God’s will for me to stay behind…
He answered me… Its His will for me to stay behind… I was accepted at HSBC as a processing executive… I was one of the few who didnt have any call center experience…
THe training days were unforgettable… I was probably one of the weakest… I got intimidated with my batch mates… They all had the accent and they sounded really really well… I even found myself crying during examinations cause I felt I wasnt good enough… I was already in the brink of giving up…
but in my heart, God was whispering… reminding me… "I gave this to you right? You prayed hard for this… trust me… you belong to this job"
and because of that, i worked hard.. harder than everyone I ever met… and god gave me another blessing… I got promoted to an AMO position in just 8 months…
after promotion… God tested me… I was then diagnosed with ASCUS Cells in my cervix.. ascus cells were cancer cells… and because of this, i probably had the highest absenteeism rate among the AMO’s. I thought again of giving up. I got demotivated and neglected my position… I hard a hard time balancing life and work…
One year has passed… and Im still an AMO… I started to notice people moving up the ladder and I was left behind.. I was happy for them, but I was sad for myself…
God gave me this job as an answer to my prayers… I should make HIM proud…
With that in mind, I started working for HIM. Hoping that each act and work I make will glorify HIM in my own little way… I wasnt even after the money…
I wasnt even after the promotion… I just wanted to make HIM happy… cause all this time I know I was selfish…
And after one year… god opened his windows on me… Poured out an overflowing blessing.. and I can’t even contain it. He let it rain!
I proved to my self that all things are possible in God…
Last week, I was again promoted.. Senior Assistant Manager for Operations…
Cool…
its not the title… its not even the increase… that amazes me…
Its God’s will and god’s plan for me…
He’s real… He works with me every single time…
People are asking me, "so anong nagbago after you got promoted?"
My answer: Simple lang… I have to make my boss Happy… and my new BOSS is Jesus…
I really dont want to sound so religous or anything with my blog… believe me, I am not… But faith works… and prayers will be answered…
Just have faith… Jesus hears your prayers!
