t/th

I just completed a speech training in one of the BPO companies based in Ortigas. Overall the experience was great and fun-filled. I learned and realized a lot of things. The training was comprised of topics regarding confidence-building, accent neutralization,polishing grammar skills, getting he job you want, Fil. vs American expressions and all that. I learned all of those and I am but satisfied with my marked improvement from day 1 up to our final training day. Weee!

What did i realize?

1. I tend to be monotonous when i speak. My trainer said that I am having a hard time to vary the tone of my voice given a certain conversation. I was unconsciously making that mistake.

2. With regards to enunciation, I have problems with pronouncing t's and th's. Its really bothering on my part because I only found out about it recently wih this training.

3. During interviews, I realized that being determined to get a certain job will eventually require you to lie a little bit. Its not that you're not telling them the truth, just dont tell them everything. And most importantly, smile :)

4. Ultimate Realization: I am really for NURSING. Yesterday, i applied for a "known and stable" Call Center but I was declined. With the way the interview went and how i delivered my everyline, i thought that I was in it for sure but then again I was wrong. The interviewer's remark was that I lack the staying power because I stated that i still want to pursue nursing (which was true).

Furthermore,i will use the things i realized to my advantage given another chance. It was worth the try because i gained something in return.

peace out :)
