Self-Assessment and Improvement (Week 1 – January 6-10, 2020)

The first day of my OJT was a bit terrified for the reason that I never see myself working now
and I have no idea where to begin. My expectations were I would find quite challenging to do the duties
because I don’t have any practices in any office and site jobs. Because the Project Manager and Engineers
and Architects are good approaches and pleasant supervision of the people I met, It never been tough for
me to do my assigned task as have used my learning and skills that I have obtained through especially this
college, going school has always been my first benefit. On the very first day, my Project Manager and
Architect had oriented me on the rules of offices, introduces me each of them to other co-worker/Engineers,
and also the project manager had interviewed me for a short brief discussion of my scheduled. After, my
supervisor/architect had given me a simple task, it was compilation of the documentation of construction
bulletin of plans.

The task given on the other day was not really that hard, it’s just a review of their plan and
documentation and observe everyone on the site so that I have my idea when it’s comes to us to do the
actual job after graduation. I had to do site progress and inspect of actual plan. I had learned when it comes
to the actual job, you must also had a good communication skills and should be work with team.

The first week of my OJT was very effective, I had to do coming to office before of my time
despite of transportation crisis of metro manila because I know that it will reflect on my performance. I have
learned to value the time especially in working because I n reality world of industry time management is the
most important to manage by every individual person else nobody would hire you. I would recommend my
self to improve more when it comes to time management and become more confident and have trust in my
self that i can do everything without second thought.
