August 24, 4 days ago, marked my 9th year with Enova. I have
always joked about this by saying “This is my longest commitment in a
relationship”. I have been in 5 totally different companies, in different
sectors in the corporate world. Yet FM chose me and I love working here at
ENOVA.
So 13 years ago, I could not think of what I really wanted. I
just knew I was good at something, probably in marketing, but not limited to
anything. I have always thought I would end up in the advertising field. Yet
one thing led to another, not a single advertising company took me. I would
always resort to resigning, thinking because I was not happy. I tried tons of
opportunities. In my first job, I stayed for 6 months, the second was one year and a
half, 3rd was months, 4th I could not even recall. I
could not seem to get that important leap of faith. I even thought I could have
taken engineering in college.
However, one thing I learned through the years is that it is
important to stop for a while, to prioritize yourself, and eventually think of your targeted milestones, and pray. Pray
not just to nail or get an interview, but a job that I will love, that I will be
passionate about. I do trust god's timing, it is always on time, always Pray for a job that can give at least a work-life
balance. That company has a great working environment, a company
that compensates their employees well, and lastly a supportive manager/leader. Blessed
to have these benefits all in one company.
“Para kanino ka
gumigising” a colleague once asked me. I could not answer seriously. It took me
years plus anxieties combined to finally understand what it meant, at least for
myself, and my billion-dollar answer is, I wake up for myself. Cause I love
myself. Because I am proud of myself. Because I am a good person with a heart (Pia
Wurtzbach thing). Wink wink.
