Enabling Global Filipino Professionals to seize opportunities to move the world
NOVEMBER 25, 2022
For 24-year-old Reiner Manio, getting a job is never an easy task yet he admits that he never lets an opportunity pass by without even trying.
Reiner is one of the applicants hired by MSC Crewing Services Philippines, Inc. during the recent job fair coordinated by PTC's Talent Acquisition team. He arrived a few hours before the closing of the oneday activity yet his eyes sparkled when he was given options as to whether he would like to apply for a job on land or at sea.
"Nakita namin yung post ng MSC sa Facebook, at nakita namin na there's a lot of opportunities na nakalagay doon. Sayang naman kung hindi ko susubukan, so I grabbed the chance since I already have my Seaman's Book, basic training and certificates. Talagang hindi na namin sinayang yung mga opportunity na binibigay sa amin ng PTC," said Reiner.
A graduate of Tourism Management at the Our Lady of Fatima University Pampanga, Reiner worked as a front office agent for almost a year at the Best Western Metro Clark. He was able to apply what he learned from school and gained experience by interacting with customers, which he enjoyed doing.
He added, "One day one of my colleagues asked me if I was interested to work onboard ships and my quick response was YES because one of my dreams was to work on a cruise ship. That was when I started working on my basic training course and certifications. I stayed in Manila for three weeks to complete my requirements and it was not easy, I had to work a lot for this."
Reinier hopes to complete his final requirements and finally fulfill his dream of working on a cruise ship. "To the whole team of PTC who paved the way for this job fair, thank you so much for the guidance and assistance, from the registration to the final interview. Sobrang smooth yung naging experience namin dito at sobrang mababait lahat na talagang wala akong nakitang kahit isang masungit na tao dito. Sobrang salamat po sa napakaraming job opportunities na dinala nyo para sa aming mga Kapampangan!"
Indeed, great opportunities such as this rarely come by but when it does, we should definitely take the chance, and make the most of it. For sure Renier is on his way to becoming a Global Maritime Professional.
