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.
