K. L.

◈ Studied BS Management, Major in Accounting (slightly different course)
◈ At Ateneo de Davao University
◈ Graduated 2013

Why did I choose : The very reason why I chose this course is because I've seen my brother fare well in his career being a graduate of BS Management. Right now he is a high-earning employee, manager, to be specific. Seeing that his course gave him the key to such a wonderful opportunity, I was enticed to take up a course similar or related to what he took. Now this course, Bs Management, was something I found that fit perfectly to my own criteria and which was also a bit more challenging than my brother's course as it has a major. In the same way the course my brother took helped him, I was hoping that this course would also lead me to a fulfilling job and prepare me for the big competitive world after graduation.

About my college education: I learned to be more knowledgeable in the aspects of business management and accounting. I did not find any subject difficult. Accounting was enjoyable for me. I pass all the subjects but a few in our class repeated taking the exams. It is very important to have an ambition and to be determined in being the best one could be.

My current job: I am now an administrative assistant in Aboitiz Power Co., assisting the administration manager; I am now handling logistics, personnel travels, and other administrative work.

Am I using what I learned in college: I learned to be always excellent in every task I do and not to count my labor. This helped me in my current job in the sense that I am able to handle all the pressure and take it as a challenge or chance for self-improvement, rather than see it as a way to dislike my job because of the high demands.

As an administrative assistant, I have to always perform at my best. In the same way that the school has inculcated in me the sense of "doing more" or being excellent, I also do the same in my job which helps me become a better, more significant employee each passing day.

How long did it take to find a job: After graduation I was hired in Rizal Commercial Bank in Davao City as a teller.

Do I recommend studying : Major in Accounting is good in learning the basics and concepts of good management of a business. Studying this course is preparatory to having a high-paying career. Likewise, it gives a neophyte in business the practical background to understanding accounting, auditing, personnel management, and making feasibility studies for a business project.
