Hi, I am Marinela 21 years old. When I was 16 years old I started to take a summer job to earn money for the coming school year and I got a job in municipal as a encoder with the help of my grand father. All 16 years and above students are allowed to apply in SPES. (Social Program of Employment for Student) or SPES is a program of DOLE to help those students need financial assisstant. When you're application is approved as SPES you need to fullfill the 30 days of working and 8 hours per day. And the total of your salary in 30 days is 7,500 (before way back 2016, i don't know now how much is the salary for SPES the last time I heard the salary is higher than 7,5oo). And in additional information you connot get you're full salary , the 60% of your salary is from the company where you work and the 40% is from the DOLE. If you want to know more about SPES you can search it. I am not professional I just want to shate what I've experience before. And I would say that being part of SPES is very helpfull for me . Because of SPES I experienced to work in fast food restaurant. In my 2nd time as SPES I assigned as a Service Crew, before I started to work in fast food restaurant I am sp nervous I practiced myself how can I treat the customer because I don't have an Idea how to interact to those people that I donnot know. In my first day it was so hard for me but I did my best and when the days past I starting to have a confidence to talk my co-worker and managers. Working in fast food restaurant is really memorable for me and I've learned so many things especially time management. I met different of people and I learned how to handle the situation without panic. Because of my hardwork they hired me as a Regular crew and I grabbed that opportunity because I started to love my work and I feel that if I left I am sure that I missing the moment and the people . But after a year and half I resigned because I cannot able go to my work because of busy schedules in schools.
I am so sad when I decided to quit because I missing the people and the moment we spent together. I missing the moment that every payday we go to buffet or unli restaurant to treat ourself for pur hardwork . Having a lot of friends is so happy bun not all friends you have is true to you . Other friends that you have are fake but it is up to you how can you handle them . After 6months of resigning to my work I started to find again another work but same restaurant but different company . I work in a franchise of the restaurant I've worked before and I can say that it has big differences esp. Salary and meals but I am happy because I met new people and friends. But after 7months of working in that restaurant i decided to quit. Why I quit? Because the schedule is so hard to the point that you cannot be able to go home because you're crew mate not show up to her schedule and you need to fullfill her duty of don't have available to change in your position . To the point that you are sick you need to work because you donnot have a choice . So i decided to quit because my body started to get weak and my eyes need to check up to the eye specialist and my I am anemic also so my mama and papa told me to quit and I quit. Thats all
But now I want to work again I miss working and I want to be productive. Haha Here in our house All day sleep , ear, cellphone, play games, watch tv etc.
