I was checking on my Facebook page a while ago when I saw pictures that brought mixed emotions. It was my first job. Gosh! I just realize how much I miss them and how much I miss having a real job, making friends and creating memories.
The very first job that I got was a marketing assistant in a microfinance industry. It has been a few years ago. I guess that was in 2012. My role is to market our product to people, organize them, make them understand what our vision and mission are and to help them in creating small businesses in order to make their lives a better one. It was quite a tough and challenging job. There are quota sets and you should have at least 90% portfolio of your clients. But despite of the hardships that I encounter in that job, I learn a lot of things. I learn how to become a leader and a good follower. I learn how to understand people in different walks of life. One thing that I miss the most in that job is the possibility of meeting new people and friends each and every single day.
While I was working there, I was given the opportunity to travel to Dumaguete City for 2 days. We had a company training there and I was one of the representatives. To be honest, that was the very first I get to travel far away from home and the very first time that I was able to be on board in a small boat. It was quite a scary experience but then I had so much fun. I can still remember how happy I am at that time. Also, I can still remember the laughter we had shared with the people that I met during the training.
As I am looking at the pictures, tears just can’t stop from falling. I know I am overreacting but it seems like I really miss them that much. They have been great friends. No, let me correct that. They have been a family to me too. We have separated ways now because unfortunately the industry did not make it and they just need to let us all go. It was a very sad moment for all of us. But, we just need to accept that in life “goodbyes are really necessary even if you don’t want to”.
