Yesterday, I told you about the interview for my internship. I was a bit nervous, of course, but since I’ve been interviewed before, I already know how it really feels like to talk to a boss. My dad drove me and Lexie to our interview. We didn’t know how to go there.

There were other applicants vying for the same position, and the others for an actual job. The company is European-managed, but the employees are all Filipinos. Some even came from my school, which is great. At least, there is some sort of familiarity. I feel that the people are nice, some even talked to us, asking us where we’re from and what we do.

I was interviewed by the owner of the company. I believe he is British-Columbian-Filipino. I can hear a tinge of British accent from him. He was very open, but I can also sense that he is quite strict. He said that he doesn’t have a specific place for me right now, but what will happen is, I will work alongside him. He wants to train me for a more corporate position.

They plan on expanding the company and they are in dire need of people to represent their company during client meetings, which right now, he does them all. Since their company does a lot of things, it’s quite a mess in his office and his phone kept on ringing. It’s an organized chaos, I guess, which is fine with me. They do web design, printing, publishing; they also make giveaways, like backpacks, mouse pads, pens… anything that they can put a client’s logo to.

This is going to be a great training ground for me. If everything works out, he said that I may be absorbed by the company if that is the direction that I want to go to. I will actually have a job after I graduate! That means, there is less confusion about my future. I don’t want to close my doors, though.

I start on Saturday! Wow, I am an intern!
