COMPANY INDEX Your way to your future starts now!

ABOUT THE COVER Alyssa, Matteo, Pasquale, Isabelle, and Mia – students with different goals and different paths of achieving them. They represent different schools, year levels, degrees, organizations, teams, cultures, barkadas, families, and passions. They represent you, the student so eager to learn as much as possible, knowing the Ateneo is the nest you’ve come to be nurtured and prepared to see and take on the world. Fly High: Soar to a Bright Future calls to mind the image of birds taking their shaky first flights. They know that despite all the adjustments to be made and mistakes to learn from, the only way to go is up. This year, we wanted the career fair magazine to be more that just about finding jobs by forcing yourself into the mold that your workplace dictates. We wanted to empower you, the student, right where you are standing, no matter your ideas about your career are so far. You might know exactly where to go, or haven’t even thought about leaving Ateneo, but we welcome you to celebrate your possibilities on a journey in which you have only seen the dawn. Fly high, and into exciting, new directions. All the best, Kenzie Du Editor-in-Chief Paulina Villaflor Associate Editor-in-Chief

To our dear graduating seniors, Have you ever wondered how eagles get to those high altitudes and why they always seem to be gliding rather than flapping their wings like other birds? Eagles are large, heavy birds and they necessarily have long and large wings to carry all that weight. Because those wings are heavy and difficult to flap, the chest muscles have to be strong and powerful. Eagles expend a lot of energy every time they flap their wings. Once airborne, they use thermal columns in the air, soaring from warm column to column, to gain the high altitudes they need. And from those lofty heights, they glide so they can cover long distances. Ateneans compare themselves to eagles in the largeness of their dreams and ideals. The achievement of those dreams requires tremendous power-skills, intellect, passion and values. Yet we realize that if we can soar these great heights, it is not only because of the power of our wings but also because of these powerful columns beneath us, the people we love and respect. As you begin soaring into the future and to heights unchartered, may you keep in mind and heart the power God has given you. And may you wield that power not for your own high and glory but for the well-being of others. I can only think of that as the reason God gave you the wings of an eagle. With my best wishes, I remain very truly yours,

To our dear students, This year’s Career Fair theme is “Fly High: Soar to a Bright Future,” which I find to be appropriate to the Ateneo, and which I also find very inspiring for you, who are about to leave the nest and begin new lives. Where to go? How to start? I can imagine that these are the questions in your mind right now. I can also imagine that you want to get it right at the first try. Who knows? But for most people, my advice would be to try to keep a balance between idealism and practicality. Choose a general direction and, just go. Start by taking off and spreading your wings. It’s natural to have a goal in mind, an end we are working toward. Keep in mind that every situation is an opportunity to learn, and every person is your teacher. As you fly along from place to place listen well to yourself, and keep in mind what you learned at the Ateneo. Develop your talents and skills so that they may eventually allow you to find the place where your needs, as well as those of many others who benefit from your work, are sufficiently and satisfyingly met. I wish you all the best of luck as you take flight and soar! John Paul C Vergara PhD Vice President for the Loyola Schools

NEW DIRECTIONS 2015

The Office of Placement and Career Services Staff together with the Execom, Reps and Apps have been working hard to ensure the success of the Career Fair on January 20-23, 2015. I hope that you, the Graduating Batch of 2015 will take this opportunity to participate in this year’s Career Fair and connect with the participating organizations and companies. One of the most important services that the Office provides our students is the opportunity to know what career options, job and practicum opportunities are available, and the chance for you to be known by people in the world of work. As you begin to fly high and soar to your bright future, take courage dear graduates. You have the spirit of St. Ignatius in your hearts. To the Office of Placement and Career Services Staff, Execom, Reps, and Apps, thank you for all the work you have been doing for the success of Career Fair 2015. To Unilever, and our other partners in business, social development, education, and government, thank you for partnering with us. May this Career Fair 2015 further strengthen our linkage and partnership. Carla S Siojo Director of Office of Placement and Career Services

To the ambitious Atenean: There is no doubt many of you will flourish in whatever career paths you choose. Ateneans, after all, undergo a rigorous curriculum, which hopefully prepares you enough for the world out there. Job seeking for the most part is about placing oneself in a rewarding environment. But the world out there needs, too, people who can make a difference. Not to the bottomline but to the bottom of the pyramid. These days we need people who can make that difference. May you choose well. Jayeel S Cornelio PhD Director Development Studies Program

We grow and flourish into the fullness of our humanity through the wealth of goods and services that have been produced by others, many of whom came before us. But just as we are enriched and made whole by the fruits of human labor, so, too, do we attain our dignity through the work that we do. And just as it is inhuman for people not to be able to work, so it is inhuman for us not to contribute to the production of goods and delivery of services while enjoying their benefits. Gandhi himself identified wealth without work as one of the evils of the world. Take courage then, and exercise wisdom and discernment as you face your future and determine what you want to do with your life, when you will have joined the ranks of those who contribute to the wealth of our people, that others, too, especially those who will come after you, might live and flourish. Remmon E Barbaza PhD Acting Dean School of Humanities

The years spent in Ateneo may perhaps, for you, be the best years of your life. While in Ateneo, you would have experienced much happiness and perhaps some sorrow, much success and maybe some disappointments. But through it all, you have survived and learned to love the school that is the Ateneo. Leaving something that has been one’s home for the past 4 or 5 years may seem daunting; after all, many Ateneans see college as their sanctuary. But could it possibly be that the best years are yet to come? You will leave Ateneo with some trepidation, unsure of the future and what it holds for you. But there is so much out there to experience! I would urge you to look forward to your future and embrace it. Face this new stage of your life with anticipation, excitement, and the confidence that you can meet the challenges the future will certainly hold for you. Be strong, be good, do well, and make your school proud. And as Ateneo sets you free, go with the knowledge that you have all you need to face life’s challenges. Make the most of the gift that you have been so fortunate to receive, an Ateneo education that has made you a person not just for yourself, but for others, your family, your community, and your country.

Dear Graduates,

Dear Graduating Students,

The years have revealed to me that I know almost nothing of each of you and that no matter what I say, it is certain that you will all experience both success and failure in the same way that you will all know joy and pain. I also know nothing of what you will remember after having gone through 7000 class hours in the last four years but I do know that you will remember what will be most essential for your careers. I know that the scientists among you will remember the scientific method even as they forget formulas, the IT people will remember the algorithms even as languages change, the mathematicians will keep the logic even as theorems are forgotten and the engineers will remember how to innovate solutions as existing systems fail. And as for me, I trust that even as each of you have learned and interpreted his or her life lessons differently, Ateneo has given you all that is essential for you to find happiness and success in living a good life for yourselves and for others.

What an interesting crossroads in your life you are upon! Many exciting possibilities await you. But it can also be daunting. I trust your Ateneo education has equipped you not merely in landing a job, but more importantly in deciding precisely what type of work you are called to do. Out there is a specific niche that only you can fill. To help match you to that waiting post, the Office of Placement and Career Services is here. You can walk into their office any day. But they have also organized the Annual Career Fair, which aims to present a wide array of career options.

I wish you all the best. Evangeline P Bautista PhD Dean School of Science and Engineering

Students of the School of Social Sciences need not feel left out because the Career Fair provides opportunities for all Ateneo students. If you don’t find the information you need, do not hesitate to contact the Office of Placement and Career Services. Be assured that we want only the best for you! May God bless you as you join the world of work! Filomeno V Aguilar Jr PhD Dean School of Social Sciences

So, face your future with certainty and self-assurance. “Go confidently in the directions of your dreams! Live the life you imagined.” —Henry David Thoreau Anna A Mendiola PhD Officer-in-Charge John Gokongwei School of Management

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Pao Yuloque, President From a baby chick, we’ve now grown to become a true blue eagle. You are probably thinking, “Now what?” You are confused and you do not know what to do with your life. Don’t fret, be brave. Ateneo has prepared you. Since day one, “Lipad,” said ORSEM. Don’t just fly, fly higher, fly farther – magis. Fly with a purpose. Fly back down if you have to. You were blessed with big strong wings so that you can fly more people, not just yourself, toward a brighter future.

Claudine Tolentino, Secretary General It’s the time of the year when you start seriously thinking about what you’re going to do in the 5-month summer break or after graduation. You are probably wondering (or even scared) of what is to come, but don’t worry! Your Ateneo education has provided you with the skills and knowledge to take on any task that you wish to do. At first, it may be terrifying and your anxiety level is at its peak, but once you’re up there, it will be an experience. Good luck and soar, Atenean!

NEW DIRECTIONS 2015

Sam Sebastian, VP Finance and Marketing Four (or more) years of stay in Ateneo is definitely no joking matter. Congratulations on all your successes, seniors! As we all embark on the newest chapter of our lives—as working adults—I wish us all the best in the coming eventful months. Advance happy graduation!

Kyle Meguizo, VP Logistics For the past years of our lives, we have been relying on other people for support—emotionally, physically and financially. Now that we are finishing our senior year, things will change and we will soon become adults. We will soon become citizens of our nation and become part of the workforce. We will no longer be relying on our parents. It is time for us to learn how to be independent. This stage is a critical one for our future because our whole life will depend on what we do starting today. This is when OUR life starts. Happy Job Hunting, Seniors!

Ellan Estrologo, VP Creatives The Ateneo has always instilled in all of its students, the value of Magis. For those who don’t understand the gravity of this value, it may just be another foreign word, but for Ateneans, it is a way of life—something that transcends their college life in the Ateneo. Eventually, every Blue Eagle needs to leave the hill he stands on. It is my sincerest of hopes, for all us Blue Eagles to soar high and to achieve all the successes we have dreamt of!

Cedric Laohoo, VP Programs & Technicals Congratulations, fellow Seniors! The past four or five years in Ateneo have been crazy, but I’m sure that all of us have learned (and cried) a lot along the way. As you start new chapters in your lives, I wish for you all the best. Good luck and continue making Ateneo proud!

Jamielyn Ty, VP Communications As you venture out to the real world, there are many apprehensions. It maybe because you still don’t know what you want. Don’t let your younger self choose the future for you. Don’t get overwhelmed with what other people say about the real world. As Rick Warren said, “Happiness is a choice. You are the only person who can make you happy. You are as happy as you choose to be.“ Do the things you love, that make you happy. I wish you luck, seniors; but most of all, I wish you happiness in life!

John Natividad, VP Human Resources My fellow graduating seniors, this is it. I know the prospect of facing life outside of our beloved school seems daunting but we know that we have been extensively prepared for this. Together, let us now work on finding our niche, our sweet spot in the ‘real’ world. Hopefully we can pursue a field in which we are not only passionate and good at, but more importantly, where we know we are most needed. Make a worthwhile impact! Congratulations and I wish you happy trails.

CAREER CULTURE Our college years can be our training wheels in more ways than one. There are so many things that we can achieve learning from, and these aren’t limited to classroom, seminar or internship settings. Training can come in all forms. Here are a few aspects of the college life you can consider to enrich your college experience and develop yourself and your skill set even more. Every experience is one you can learn from, and prove helpful when discerning what is up next for your life.

ACADEMICS Honors Grades aren’t everything—but a kwatro or honors on your transcript sure do look fantastic. They are indicative of how well you did while in school and how seriously you took your studies. As we all know, there are factors other than personal intelligence that affect grades: circumstances, and even luck. High marks won’t be the basis for getting into your dream job but it will help, as it gauges not how smart you are, but how smart you study and work.

•

NEW DIRECTIONS 2015

Double Majors/Minors Your college journey isn’t just a one-track affair. Throughout college you will be moved by or interested in fields other than your concentration. It’s best to not be defeated into thinking, “That’s really different from my course.” Take the opportunity to explore and consider shifting, double-majoring, and minoring. It could potentially introduce you to a whole different set of skills and talents that you were not aware of until you decided to pursue your interests.

Competitions Representing Ateneo in local and international challenges nets you the opportunity to work in a pressuring but mentored environment. You are likely to gain concepts from your classes, especially your majors, that you never thought that you would be able to use! Learning through your mentors and being motivated by coming out on top of the competition can do great wonders on work ethic development. Most of all, you get to meet intelligent and driven competitors—much like yourself!

ORGANIZATIONS Active Participation Ateneo’s organizational culture is a big part of a student’s life, even with the demands of academics. It’s difficult to find an Atenean who doesn’t have an organization. Whenever you are a core member or a project head, you will realize that the tasks you prefer have a pattern—this is indicative of your skills and talents. You can utilize these projects relevant to the career field you are interested in.

Executive Board Taking this serious step requires a lot of commitment, and you’ll need to examine your reasons for wanting to be part of your organization’s leadership. If you are sure you want to dedicate yourself to your organization and its advocacies, then maximize your experience by aligning yourself to the values and the messages the community wants to tell the campus, and to make friendly and solid connections with the people you work with. Like-minded people who share your goal will be good friends and partners for life.

EXTRA-CURRICULARS Exchange Program The JTA Program, Study Tour, and other such student exchange programs offer an opportunity to open your world. Studying in another country broadens your horizon. Being a person open to different cultures and scenarios is very attractive to an employer because it indicates the skill of adaptiveness, useful in dealing with people and events of other cultures. If you feel like what’s at home is enough for you, you should leave your comfort zone (literally) and have your breath taken away by how vast the world is.

Varsity Sport is one of the greatest teachers of discipline, in an individual and in a team. Our superstar Alyssa certainly loves the sport, and equally balances her academics with her passion. It has taught her true time management, a skill that is very important in life. Sportsmanship applies in many apsects of life, and in our careers, we will find ourselves striving to be the best among all while supporting each other’s growth. Anyone skilled and passionate enough to play is generally cool, right?

Making the most out of your internship experience the preparation

PREPARE PHYSICALLY

PREPARE MENTALLY

PREPARE EMOTIONALLY

To prepare physically is to prepare your body for the experience. As in traveling, your body must be in the best condition to not miss out on any part of your trip. I remember how we felt so regretful about our family trip because my sister suddenly had a fever the moment we arrived. The activities we could do became limited. Similarly, one should be physically fit to maximize the internship experience. To maximize is to take advantage of the opportunities that the internship experience offers which aims at one’s personal development.

To prepare mentally is to prepare your mind for the experience. Your internship will certainly need a lot of skills, from the basic decision-making to doing the “job” itself. One should also be ready to go beyond one’s capabilities to develop new skills. During the said company anniversary, I did things which were unimaginable for me to do before. For instance, I still remember how I stood firm in front of an uncontrollable crowd. Along with the sight of other interns not doing their job, I gathered up my strength to draw the crowd back in to their respective venues. One really needs to prepare for the unexpected such as this.

To prepare emotionally is to learn how to control your feelings. This may be considered the worst memory of my internship but it was also one of the best lessons—gossips. Given the big number of student trainees who come from different backgrounds, gossip as well as conflict are said to be unavoidable. The worst part would be that you are the subject of the gossip. Handling this kind of situation really depends on one’s personality. Given my personality, I chose to ignore these gossips given their nature (that they are not grounded on facts).

You can prepare physically by eating a well-balanced diet, by exercising regularly and by getting enough sleep.

•

NEW DIRECTIONS 2015

You can prepare mentally by having your mind set that you will be up for an experience and by having an open mind to everything your internship will offer.

You can prepare emotionally by setting yourself into the right mood as you begin your internship.

the experience

To experience is to let yourself open to the experience itself. As an Atenean, I have always believed that I am already receiving the best education and training in order to succeed in the “real world”, as they call it. But, the best way to learn about that “real world” is to be in it. As in driving, the best way to learn how to drive in the Philippines is to drive in the roads itself. The internship is the driving school that will properly teach you how to maneuver around the field you want to pursue. The internship experience is an opportunity to apply what you have been learning these years in college. One avenue is the work stated in the job description, which I call the “expected work.” In my case, the work included in my job description were sourcing of student applicants for the Student Training Program, updating the graduate list of student trainees, updating the list of contact schools, updating the list of schools for Campus Job Fair, and downloading of applicant profiles from the Jobstreet Account. These tasks were assigned to interns of the Recruitment and Selection arm of my department. However, my “actual work” turned out to be a combination of the “expected work” and some additional tasks. 24

•

NEW DIRECTIONS 2015

The additional tasks were a lot more difficult because of their spontaneity, one of which was to interview the student trainees myself. The task became part of my job description. It was the most challenging yet the most fun task because, personally, I love meeting new people. It is true that the task was not agreed upon but this is also the task that made me realize the things I have been learning these years in college. As a Psychology major, it was the first time I was able to see the theories and concepts I have been learning in action. It seems like it is during times like these wherein one can show what he or she has been learning. This is where the difference between the well-prepared and the unprepared lies. We were seventy trainees in our practicum site who come from very different backgrounds, beginning with the schools or universities they are attending and extending to the skills that are being showcased in their practicum work. Many people expect so much that they believe that student trainees from the top universities like Ateneo will surely outperform the others. However, that is not necessarily true all the time. To some extent, it holds true because of the knowledge and training these outstanding students have

been receiving all this time. But, what can make the difference is the preparation made by each student. This reminds me of some colleagues who came from a private college who seem to not have the proper mindset that they tend to always let others do the work. They have always believed that our mentors would never notice it but, it also surprised me, they do because they look into their interns closely. Contrary to these students who were of higher expectation, two students from a public university were even able to inspire me to do better. Knowing that I cannot do certain things, they try to do it for me instead. Although less is expected of them, they try their best that they are even willing to do what the other freeloading student trainees are supposed to be doing. With the right mindset and right attitude toward their practicum experience, they are full of energy every morning with smiles on their faces. It was indeed very encouraging.

the personal impact

The internship experience may not be able to change you but it definitely will leave an impact. Change may be too soon to say as something one gains from the practicum experience. Even now, after six months, the change may be too early to speak of but there was clearly an impact. The impact is that one will move oneself to think of the change. The internship experience had a clear, direct impact on the way I see the corporate world. When asked about why I wanted to go to an internship in a corporate setting, I would always argue how I want to know if I am fit for the corporate world. I am thankful for this experience for making me realize the importance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;organizational fitâ&#x20AC;?, a self-explanatory term in Industrial Psychology. Sadly, I found myself unfit for my practicum site. My internship experience was truly fulfilling but my personality does not fit well with the culture of the organization. This is the reason why during the last days of my internship, there were times I hesitated going to work. What was holding me back was how I did not like how things were working out in the company. I know that there is no perfect company but, surely, I know that I would not be able to do

my best in that company. This does not necessarily mean that I do not fit in the corporate world. But, this clearly shows me that I should work for a company I believe I could do my best in. The impact is personal. The impact is what the experience was trying to tell me. Aside from telling me that I should be careful in deciding which company to work for, it hits me directly as an individual. Having experienced working in a group, if not everyday, almost everyday, it surely called for a change. Realizing how I preferred working alone even in the organization I belong to, it made me regretful after feeling the joy of meeting new people. Surely, there were and will always be people whose personalities with ours simply match and there were, and will be, who do not. But, what matters is that you willingly work with all kinds of people. In other words, what it tells me is that working in a group is an experience, an experience that moves people to go beyond what they alone can do. I myself was able to do things in my practicum which I could not do before.

the person to change but the impact has surely left a longlasting impression. Seeing the things I can do and I cannot do, I realized so many things about myself. I remember how I promised myself after I reflected upon my internship experience that I will try my hardest to improve one step at a time, one day at a time. Unconsciously, I have been working on it this school year. I have been continuously challenging myself to discover more possibilities ahead. I began dreaming with the right attitude and mindset. With this, I feel very grateful for my internship experience. I have been discouraged many times along the way but the impact was so powerful that I am hopeful in every moment.

The impact is long-lasting. The impact may not be able to move 25

MONEY MATTERS Financial sustainability should be a goal for all students who are forward-thinking about their career and lifestyle after graduation. There is so much more to it than simply getting your savings out of your childhood piggy bank, and putting it into a bank account under your name. If you are sweating bullets at the idea of not having an allowance and being completely independent, then you’ll be put at ease that there are things you can do today that will help you out in the long run.

Getting Started as a Student Get organized about your finances This doesn’t just refer to your bills and coins—don’t leave receipts, slips, forms, and other finance-related documents lying around. Seeing them physically will remind you of how much you’ve spent, what you’ve spent on, and what important dates are there to take note of (for example, late surcharges are very sneaky). There is power in those visual representations that make you more aware and wary of your purchases. Take advantage of technology and download one of the numerous transaction-record apps on your phone or on your desktop. You get to have all that information accessible with a tap or a click, and you get to go paperless.

•

NEW DIRECTIONS 2015

Have a spendings priority list For students, it is easy to get caught up in a spending spree, especially when one is doing school or org work, or hanging out with their friends. More than planning out your budget, you should add non-monetary value to the things you buy. Which is more important to spend on, versus which is more urgent? Weigh out these factors, and use the list consistently when you are out shopping. School requirements are important, and so is that anniversary gift—these two might push a few more expenditures down the priority list, and you now have an idea and order of what to purchase. Try to treat your favorite Starbucks frappe as more of a reward than a necessity for those long, hard weeks.

Think sell, lend, or rent before buy It is better to think things through before pulling out your wallet, even if you are certain you need that item in particular. Impulse buying, or buying because you are too lazy to find another workaround can be very costly to a student. Use social media to your advantage to find good friends who might be willing to cut you good deals. When you in turn lend out to your friends, make sure to list down all the people you have lent to/borrowed from to avoid losses and bad blood.

GET GOING AS A GRADUATE Invest To make your money really grow, you need to put your money somewhere other than your bank account that gives a meager investment return. Investing can be done in many different ways—stock market, real estate, funds, and so on. Daunting as it might be, taking calculated risks are sure to have good returns if you study them well enough and keep optimistic. Warren Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is quoted to have said, “Never invest in a business you can’t understand.” Your portfolio of investments will be reflective of who you are. It is a very personal endeavor, and while you must learn from experts and stay updated on world trends, it will always be your call that determines either your triumph or your setback.

Avoid debt as much as possible You now have your own money, and the use of your funds comes by to you even easier. The freedom you feel with your money has been well-earned. The credit card can feel like the ultimate weapon to fix sudden problems. However, the problem doesn’t go away—and sometimes it gains even more things to worry about in the future. As much as possible, find a way to avoid having debts. Debt has a tendency of accumulating, so keep it a rule-of-thumb to avoid having to resort to methods that can potentially hold you back financially.

Keep learning about personal finance The world of finance is just as dynamic and ever-changing for everyone, everywhere. There is always much more to learn. It is pretty intimidating, even for students belonging to the field of financial study. If you want to keep up and learn how to go beyond saving and growing money, you must seek out the knowledge on your own. Keep yourself updated through searching online, reading books, and attending seminars. There are many different perspectives and experiences available, but the ultimate goal is to find a finance management style that works for you and makes your investing enjoyable.

It does not matter what your profession is, but what is important is that your personal finance does not hinder you from reaching your goals and living the lifestyle you set out to achieve. The money that you find yourself saving and growing does not compare to the reward of finding empowerment and motivation in your ability to support your individual self.

WRITING A RESUMÉ Don’t judge a book by its cover (letter). However, the resumé is a necessary step your employers need to take to assess your compatibility with the job and the company. Avoid thinking of your resumé as simply a transcript of records because it is more than just a list of your grades. Do not aim to simply impress the manager or recruiter who will look through your submission. Make it your number one mission to be able to communicate your skills and experiences, highlighting who you are and what you are capable of.

A career portfolio is a collection of the above documents and more, meant to back-up any claims made in your resume.

GET IT RIGHT A resumé is a 1-to-2 page document summarizing an individual’s background and skills.

STICK TO A FORMAT If it is your first time to put together a resumé, then it would be best to find a good format to follow. The LSOPCS provides one that can jumpstart your resumé writing. Keep the formatting consistent. Make it a point that it’s flowing logically and is visually pleasing. However, for resumés and portfolios alike, don’t use a design that is too distracting or complicated.

A curriculum vitae (CV) is longer than a resume, as it details more about the individual, other experiences aside from work experiences, and can include a photo. A cover letter is a personal letter which you’ve written addressing the employer. It is meant to complement the more objective application documents: the resume and the CV.

A creative portfolio is used in the creatives field, a collection of works intended for the perusal of the client. These tips also work for these documents! Today, online digital formats are becoming popularly used. A LinkedIn Account and a place to host your resume and portfolio online are good to have in tow as well.

KEEP IT SIMPLE It might be more important to highlight the biggest, most important contributions you’ve made in projects, relevant to the position or the interest of the employer or client. If you are

looking to apply for different positions, consider making a customized version for each, with simplicity of your input in mind. Keep them recent as well, as it is a better reflection of what you have accomplished and developed the past few years. BE HONEST If you can hold a full basic Spanish conversation after your FLC semester, then congratulations on your skill! If not, you might be leading your employers on when you say you are fluent at it. Be 100 percent truthful about your claims, or it could become a problem when they hire you for a skill you do not have. Employers can easily spot job aspirants lying about their application documents so watch out! PROOFREAD Spellcheck will not be enough for this. For such a short document, it is important to read through and organize the thoughts, grammar and spelling properly. Even a single mistake is a glaring error to the reader. Being meticulous about your resume is proof that you are serious about wanting the position or the project.

THE INTERVIEW We know the basics—practice your lines, dress properly, be there early. Lots of things can happen in a one-on-one interview. Cover your bases by remembering to do these: Do your research. If you are really interested in the job, then you should already have crossed this off your list. Find out more about the company, organization, or institution you want to work for. See how well you fit in their vision and mission, what their job opening or department demands, and recent events concerning their business. During the interview, you can relate yourself to what the business is going through and what it needs. Don’t rely on your school. There is a tendency to assume a person’s work proficiency according to their university or degree, but in the working world, such a detail hardly means anything. You might have worked hard for that Ateneo diploma, but your diploma won’t work for you. Never assume that you are ranked high on their list just because you come from a prestigious school or course. 34

Do think about your answer to “X years from now...” We have all been asked this question, and we all hate it. However, be reminded that this question is important to determine many factors about us. Our answer can tell much more than our planning skills; It is also telling of the determination, the intent of your goals and how the job you want takes you there. Don’t fidget! It is easier said than done, but there are ways to get around the physical manifestations of your nerves. The only sure-fire way to

do so is practice your answers, your eye contact, and keeping still. Body language says a lot about how much you prepared for the interview and how confident you are as a person. End Notes When the interviewer indicates that the interview is over, don’t breathe a sudden sigh of relief to betray your nervousness and bolt out the door—continue to sell yourself as you exit the meeting. Don’t make meaningless small talk; give a short summary of why you believe you are fit for the job. Your personality and skillset are the ultimate determinants for getting the job you have always dreamed of, so learn to be confident and persevering.

WOMEN ARE NATURAL MULTITASKERS It is oftentimes said that while men work hard in the workplace, women have to work harder. For many, this statement maybe a debatable issue, but for Gina Lorenzana, the statement has little bearing. Women are natural multitaskers, she says, and are thus able to juggle tasks and have everything done at the same time, be it in the workplace or at home. She should know. Lorenzana is vice president for the personal care division of global consumer brand Unilever. As the head of the largest division of Unilever Philippines, Lorenzana deals with the everyday issues today’s modern woman faces—from her family’s needs to how she presents herself to the world. Much of the company’s success, she says, lies in truly understanding who their market is, and the uniqueness of today’s Filipino consumers, as against their counterparts in other parts of the world. Lorenzana describes Unilever Philippines as a “truly multilocal company.” Its vision of creating a better future everyday, she says, is a testament to how the company has evolved through the years, faced the challenges and emerged even stronger.

Unilever Philippines started as an oil milling business and was known then as the Philippine Refining Company (PRC). It was established in 1927, and had always been known as a manufacturing leader introducing new technologies into the country. It started with margarine production in the 1930s, which expanded into nonsoap detergents, shampoos and toothpastes. In the 1990s, the company started focusing on environment-friendly products and introduced the first 100-percent biodegradable detergent bar in the Philippines. During its peak the company produced nearly 100,000 tons of coconut oil annually. In the 1990s, the company officially changed its name to Unilever Philippines Inc. Today, it is a leading manufacturer of laundry detergents and soaps, shampoos and hair conditioners, toothpastes, deodorants, skin care products, household cleaners, and toilet soaps. It also manufactures food and ice cream. Its roster of brands include Axe, Best Foods, Block & White, Breeze, Clear, CloseUp, Creamsilk, Domex, Dove, Eskinol, Master, Pepsodent, Pond’s, Knorr, Lady’s Choice, Lipton, Rexona,

*Lifted from a feature story authored by Kim Lokin of Manila Times

Selecta, Sunsilk, Surf, Tresemme and Vaseline. According to its official corporate documents, the company is also one of the top 20 taxpayers in the country, even as it employs over 1,800 people directly as well as provides for jobs for 10,000 more as distributors and suppliers. It is also one of the few companies in the industry that has succeeded in keeping majority of its manufacturing base in the Philippines. To say that managing the number one personal care company in the country is a daunting task, is a huge

understatement. Lorenzana knows this only too well, that is why she has become an expert in managing

her schedule, so she can be on top of all the activities happening in her workplace, wherever she maybe. “I usually check my emails at 7am to get a head start, understand the issues I need to tackle, and my meetings start by 8:30am.” Like most companies, she says they have also moved to a more agile work environment where they are able to work from anywhere because of technology. It also helps, she says, that she started with Unilever as her first job, as a marketing management trainee. Over the years, she developed a solid career in consumer marketing and strategy development, having worked her way up through various marketing roles. Today, Lorenzana describes how their business in the Philippines has evolved. “One of the great things about the Philippines is that the Filipino has a very open view about the world and that has enabled us to have high standards for ourselves, and that inspires me because as they have higher standards, they also look at ways to improve themselves.” One of the differences of the Philippine market, she points out, is that “she not only wants to be prettier and better, but the inner confidence that allows them to go for what they want or aspire for in life. This is different from other more developed markets, where beauty or hygiene is the end-all.”

social awareness into how they market their products, while at the same time contributing more help and giving back to the communities through sustainable programs such as their recent TeenWeek, which aimed to help develop 1 million teens to be more confident and future-ready through positive reinforcement, pushing them to be the best teens they can possibly be. They also implemented a nationwide “sachet recovery program” to collect millions of sachets for recycling or reuse into construction materials. Lorenzana says to date, they have successfully collected 15 million sachets. Of these, 4.7 million were shredded and converted into 44,000 cement pavers and hollow blocks that now form pavements and pathways in 30 public elementary schools. For Lorenzana, the challenge in being a female executive lies not so much in the workplace alone, but in balancing career and family. But nowadays, there is a growing number of female executives who are successful in doing so. According to the World Economic Forum, women in the Philippines rank among the highest in the world for their participation in the economy and politics. If anything, this is certainly one of the best signs that women in the country are stepping up to the challenge, and winning the game.

Unilever, she says, has also developed more depth and 39

Alyssa VALDEZ

4 BS Psychology

Her role as team captain of the Ateneo de Manila Lady Spikers to their first championship title in the UAAP Women’s Volleyball speaks volumes of her character as a leader. Alyssa Valdez had already been popular at the start of her volleyball career, but the historical win catapulted her to household-name status. She arrived at the photo shoot venue fresh from the 2014 ASEAN University Games in Indonesia. Despite the recent competition and the completion of her thesis, she was all smiles, laughing at how she will arrive at that afternoon’s training in full hair and make-up. When asked about how she isable to handle the pressure of being a full-time student while being a famous

athlete with endorsement deals and another season coming up, Alyssa relies on one of the skills she has trained throughout her college stay: time management. “It’s really important to know your priorities,” Alyssa shares on her philosophy. The day of the photo shoot was like any other day for her, juggling her different responsibilities and fitting them perfectly to attend to all. The reigning Most Valuable Player plans to take up her MBA degree after gradution to further her knowledge. While many seem to think her future is set in stone, Alyssa believes otherwise. “I actually think I don’t have enough experience in the real world. Even if I have laid out definite plans already, everything

is still uncertain.” Despite having a degree in Psychology and being a volleyball superstar, Alyssa shows no sign of settling within her comfort zones. Alyssa also says that the annual LSOPCS career fair has influenced her approach toward career decision-making. “I was helped in preparing my resume. I also became open to new possibilities because of the job fair,” she says. Alyssa has been dominating the court ever since she stepped on it and we won’t be surprised if she’ll soon be flourishing in life once she steps out of the Ateneo.

With graduation looming weeks in front of him, Matteo Gancayco says that he never got into a long-term plan for his college years. “I just had the general idea of trying my best to be a Management Engineering graduate, with honors. I wanted to make my parents proud. I really just hoped that it would balance with my org life,” he explains. Striking the balance between academics and work for student organizations is a struggle for every student, but our senior LSOPCS Ambassador pulled through: he actively participates in the Ateneo Junior Marketing Association and Management Engineering Association, went on Junior Term Abroad in Lyon, France, took on an internship at HSBC, participated in UAAP Season 75

as a Blue Tanker in the champion Men’s Swimming Team, and is one of the stall owners of Biguettes at the JGSOM Student Enterprise Center. He keeps his dreams of honors alive by being a consistent Dean’s Lister through his college life. Despite not having a plan for the past four years, he has had more endeavors than most Ateneans have even attempted in their stay on campus. The different fields that he has had experience in will definitely be of help in developing a holistic skill set. Just as he had grabbed all opportunities during his stay in the Ateneo, his experiences will guide him through the sudden decisions and chance encounters of the working world. This includes seeking guidance

from the LSOPCS: “They have helped me with internships, and I will be working with them for more job opportunities.” A short vacation between graduation and employment is his means of celebrating his achievements in college but it’s certainly no excuse for him to simply slack off. Matteo is actually eager to set out on his career path and even pursue further studies. Work and play aren’t the only things Matteo knows how to balance. He looks to his future after university with both confidence and humility. “I’m confident, but I feel that we live in a very competitive world. You can’t be comfortable with where you are just yet - you have to work harder.”

In 1926, a small sales organization then known as Palmolive Company commenced operations in Binondo, Manila. The following year, the merger of Palmolive Soap Company with Peet Brothers was consummated. In 1928, after a slow start, new vigor was added to the Palmolive Peet Company through another merger, this time with the Colgate Company. This signaled the start of accelerated sales growth in the Philippines as well known Colgate products were added to the product range. The rapid growth of various markets and an ever increasing demand for Colgate-Palmolive products necessitated full scale production and in November 1951, the late President Elpidio Quirino inaugurated the P3 Million Manufacturing complex in J.P Rizal Avenue, Makati City. With aggressive marketing plans, the Company continued to grow. New variants of Palmolive Soap and Shampoo and other new products were introduced in the market which brought the Company to new heights. Today at Colgate, we are changing the face of global business. As providers of some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading brands, we are experts in conducting operations on a worldwide scale. We are constantly learning from one another and, more importantly, from the people we serve. Our lean structure and diverse teams ensure flexibility to respond to changes quickly and rapidly. Our vision, simply put, is to become the best truly global consumer products company. This means not only having the best products, but selecting and developing the best people within all divisions and across all functions. Working in a fast-paced environment we are challenged to meet consumer demands swiftly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. We think globally, work cross-culturally, and deliver results. Developmental assignments and on-going training ensure that people acquire the skills and experience necessary to reach their career and personal goals. As Chairman, President and Ceo, Ian Cook, says it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For more than 200 years, Colgate people and Colgate values have been at the heart of our success. We are proud of the powerful strategies and sharp focus which drive our success today. Thanks to all Colgate people, our consumers and business partners, for their contributions in helping us to become the strong, focused and truly global company we are today.â&#x20AC;?

Though Pasquale’s journey in Ateneo is not quite over yet, he has already sensed how much he has changed over time in college. “I’m looking forward to my final year! Every subject I’ve taken so far has been key to forming a more holistic sense of myself. I’ve learned much since I was a freshman,” he explains. The junior ambassador is a go-getter: He actively participates in both the Ateneo Biology Organization and the PreMedical Society of Ateneo. He is also part of the Ateneo Futsal Club, making time for his sport and passion. He has also found opportunities beyond the Loyola Schools: he attended a summer program in Columbia University in New York and is currently seeking an internship at MD Anderson, Texas. “I plan to proceed to medicine and become a doctor. [But] I haven’t figured out exactly what I want to specialize in yet,” he shares, a sentiment many other juniors relate with. However, this doesn’t get Pasquale down, who believes that there is still so much to do and learn in the following semesters. He then adds,“I’ll see where life takes me.”

Having gone through a lot of experiences that lead to who he has become today, curiously enough, it was a whole different part of the curriculum that affected him the most in his Ateneo stay: “My most significant personal experience in Ateneo would have to be the NSTP course during sophomore year. I was tasked to teach a kid English, Math, and Science. This experience really opened me up to the realities of the society around us,” reveals Pasquale. Relaying his empowering experience to another, he is excited to continue his education beyond the confines of the classroom and into the world.

Isabelle

“Looking back, freshman year for me was a time of adjustment, and it was challenging.” This is how Isabelle Fernandez described her first ten months in the Ateneo, highlighted by her uncertainty of being in the right course. Along with the growing pains of becoming a full-fledged college freshman, last year’s LSOPCS freshman ambassador seemed lost amidst everything happening in her life. However the lost and unsure Isabelle is gone as she has certainly matured and warmed up to the college life. With a year under her belt and friends and orgs by her side, school becomes a little less stressful. Isabelle’s decision to go to the Ateneo and into the medical field was aided by her desire to help others. She takes this decision seriously and knows what she wants and needs for her current responsibilities, and for her further studies. Despite only being in her second year, she is already sketching out her game plan for life. “The LSOPCS has helped me in knowing my options when it comes to the med schools I will be applying for. It is also nice how they provide us with career paths that we will personally enjoy and at the same time ensure a good future for us.” Our sophomore sweetheart is not all about work, even as a hard-working pre-med student. Her passion for working and playing with children not only inspired her choice of career, but also is a driving force for her participation in organizations such as Kythe-Ateneo and California Summer Camps. “I love anything that has me interacting with kids. Kids make me happy and I want to do anything I can to make them happy as well,” she excitedly adds. The commitment to her cause and determination for success colors Isabelle’s future as bright as the smiles on the faces of the people in her life. 50

A freshman just starting out might take college and career as two separate worlds that should come in a consecutive order. Mia Claudio might not have yet defined a path to take, but she has always been guided by her love for art. Because she grew up in an “Atenean family,” the Ateneo and BFA ID became the natural choices to her. “It’s a course which caters to my passion for art and design, and at the same time, allows me to hone my creative capabilities and apply them in very practical and meaningful ways,” she explains. Mia describes her current freshman experience as “full of discovery.” Prior to her entry to college life, she was active in ---extracurriculars, such as being part of badminton and cheer dancing varsity teams. She participated in the world youth organization Children’s International Summer Villages (CISV) and spent most of her free time attending painting classes at L’Arc en Ciel Atelier. These may be the inspirations to her plan of joining her batch’s Junior Term Abroad program, and continued participation in the student organizations Ateneo Junior Marketing Association and GRIDS.

While still being open to the many possibilities within her field of study, Mia is determined to excel in her chosen course. “I’m not entirely set on any particular career yet,” she confesses. “I’m clear on following the path of fine arts. Maybe I could explore the realms of fashion, marketing, or graphic design, but for now I am still in the process of learning, seeking and experimenting.” Her determination and serious dedication to the arts are qualities that will lead her to a successful and fulfilling career. “Being a freshman, I’ve only recently become familiar with the LSOPCS and the Career Fair. But going through the motions in college and my career paths, now I know where to go and find help!” Her journey up the hill has just begun, but Mia is already set to soar. 53
