My on the job training last summer held at the Department of Agrarian Reform. April 17, 2008 which I started my OJT at the DAR they assign me at the PMEU Department. PMEU stands for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluating Unit. Mr. Rowel Flamiano was my boss and he also a programmer on the said department. First day of my OJT in the PMEU has a lot of mix feelings that I feel. It’s because I’m very excited and also nervous, excited because I want to learn and develop my skills and enhance my knowledge about new things to be discovered, nervous because of traits and atittude of my boss.
First week of my OJT is the hectic week because I started my work as a encoder. I encode no. of areas of a land which is difficult to understand. They using a data base for storing additional files. It is hard time and stressful to do that because the files has a lot of mistakes and need for changing. But it’s ok, because I have learned so much about their database system.
Second and third week of my OJT was a busy day for me because I entered their system called ARB. ARB stands for Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries. It came from Maynila, the main department of DAR. ARB system is a difficult one because if you have remaining table to be encode it shows that you should fill – up atleast a period and you can proceed to another table. Their system shows an error if you have a mistake in a word and no. It is also one of their problem is lack of information in their data and it connects to their system. I’m thinking so much if that system and of course it cause me of having a headache and I feel tired and hungry because of working on their computer. Then I learn how to use their (Presto Image Scanner) because it’s needed to ARB system. The picture and signature of the people that need in their system have a very important to do with. I apply my skills in Photo Shop it is because the photo’s that stores in their files needed to change and edit.
In my last day of my OJT that’s June 12, I felt happy and sad. Happy because I finish my work in DAR and I’m very lucky to have a boss like Sir Rowel, Mam Vivian, Mam Moñean and to all the staff and employee of DAR , they are good to me and they always in my side if I have a question to them about my work. Sad because, I will miss my work and also the bondings that I will treasure in my memories.
