18 Things I've Learned During Immersion

By Jacob15, Permalink

In my 10-day immersion period in the Information Technology and Communication Development Division of the Provincial Capitol, there was a lot of working that happened and in that working was a lot of learning. Let me share to you the 18 things I learned during my immersion in the ITCDD.
Don’t ride the elevator with an ignorant friend. This is a must and I tell you be safe hahaha. When you go with a friend like this, one moment you press to where your going then poof all floors are pressed. The worst part is when there are superiors joining you on the elevator and you can’t do anything anymore.
Don’t be ignorant or if you’re that kind of person, try your best to leave it at home. You must not be rude or discourteous to a workplace. Let them see you’re mentally matured to be in work.
Be Punctual. Never be late in work for it will show a bad image for yourself. (Hyprocritical as it sounds for I was never early during the immersion yet I was never late hahaha.)
Be courteous. Even though you must be friendly, never forget to be polite and respect your superiors.
Be friendly. You are in a workplace so being sociable is a must. Talk to coworkers, socialize with them and be acquainted.
Be active. Don’t lose energy in the workplace, it makes you sleepy especially if you’re in front of a computer screen in a whole day.
Show eagerness to learn. Simply because learning is never-ending. Do the work while learning and learn while working. It’s a great feeling learning something new every day.
Don’t slack around during work time. Do the tasks given to you by the superiors. Do work when it’s time for working.
Friday is Zumba day (hahaha). This lesson was taught by one of our superiors because he said that Friday is a day of breaks because there’s Zumba but the real reason is that he wanted to play video games with us.
Be open to superiors. Tell them if they gave you a task you don’t know how to do it. Tell them if you want to learn something or have questions for them.
B**ch, sit down, be humble. Learn to accept mistakes. Accept criticisms and make it as your own strength to make better outputs.
Stay Positive. Don’t drag yourself down. Think of happy thoughts and you’ll fly.
Be Optimistic in whatever way you can. If you’re not sure of what you are doing, always be confident. There’s always a rainbow after the rain.
It’s okay to take breaks once in a while. Don’t plunge yourself in working for so long, you might drown.
Be creative. Creativity is one key in making a great piece of work.
Think outside the box. Be unique as much as possible.
Have a good sense of humor. Laughter is the best medicine and it is never a bad thing to make people laugh.
No meat on Mondays. A great tip for a healthier lifestyle.


            These are just some things I learned along the way on the 10-day trip, I might have learned a lot more if we stayed a lot longer. I hope you also learn on the things I learned in the ITCDD.
