My name is Raphael Anthone Santos, but everybody calls me Anthon. Named after the archangel St. Raphael and a popular Italian painter. I registered on this site a few days ago and already earned my first few points.
About me? I finished BS Information Technology last 2014 at ABE International Business College - Makati Campus. I was ready to take on the world, until I found out the very painful truth. What they're looking for who has experience in the field rather than a fresh graduate, and this system still exists after I finished my training for Web Development.
After 6 months, In 2015 I landed my first job as a Community Support Agent at eBay under ePerformax. Served the company for 3 years until I decided to leave so I can shift my career to a different path. In 2019 from May to August - learned to code at Zuitt Coding Bootcamp (formerly Tuitt). It was a refresher from the start, until the lessons were getting harder since it tested my grit & focus. After I finished my training, I search for a job post as a Web Developer. I tried my luck, but the system remains the same. Until I decided to go back where I started my career, this time with a new home.
Now working as a Technical Support Representative for one of the most popular productivity tools in the market today where I can share my knowledge & expertise on this tool. Aside of my full time job, just started to publish an article here. What else?
I'm one of the pioneers of the Ultras movement in the Philippines, and still active on this group called Ultras Filipinas as the Lead Drummer since 2012. A Photographer, Videographer, Web Developer, Car Enthusiast, Video Gamer and a proud Geek of Pop Culture.
My expectations on this platform is I can get to meet new people, get engaged with our interests and earn by posting articles & supporting each other.
Named after an Archangel? I believe you are the first saying that. I wonder about your job at eBay what exactly was asked from you. It sounds to me you have nothing to complain about and do things you like. I wish you fun here.
