Training as an Added Feather to My Cap Part 2

Just received news that there were no slots available for me for that Mechatronics course. It could have been a very great class because five of my very good classmates were on that class. But my friend offered me another course in Taguig. It will run for three weekends only, and after that I will receive my certificate. The course is Instrumentation and Control Servicing Course NC II, a subject that I failed in college. This one's also sponsored by TESDA. I think I need to take this course to compensate for that subject that I failed. Anyway it's for free, so why not? And again, this training could be an added feather to my cap.

Training as an Added Feather to My Cap

I just had a chat with a very good friend of mine this morning and she told me about attending a technical training while we were waiting for the right job to come. This training is free and in fact gives out allowance of P60/day and that could be disbursed by the end of the training. That really was a very good call, considering that I was just watching the days go by without me having a job. All I did the past few weeks was checking on my e-mail for the latest job postings... and tweeting... and checking on my Facebook account... and updating this blog... So now I've found a way to use my time productively, and I can in include this in the trainings attended on my resume, an added feather to my cap that is. This free training is a project of Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to help unemployed people increase their chances of getting a job by adding or enhancing their skills through free training. My former co-worker was already on the first batch of the Mechatronics course so my friend and I are waiting for the start of the second batch due Oct. 12. I just hope that there are still available slots for us both. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'm gonna tell this to my mom when she arrives this afternoon.
