On The Job Training [3rd week]

On the first day of my 3^rd week here in DCInvest, the tasks that I am supposed to do are stack up. I have to do my progress report during my 1^st week and 2^nd week as an OJT. In the morning, I scanned a lot of Tax Certificates, BIR certificates and official receipts then after that, I’ve emailed it to Ms. Maricel M. Jawali using DCGroup email address. The ongoing time is very hectic, while having data encoding about their inventory of company’s computer assets, I have to encode a Certification of Employment for the EV Department on trucking management. Gladly all I have to do is copy of what has been written on the old copy of certification and just change some personal and important information of the new employee. These are name, date of employment, online examination results (the percentages and total), another information is all about its’ new work such as type of work, truck to be use, plate no. and tax certificate no. The next hours, I’ve fax the purchase order of HRD to Office Supplies Depot.
 The 2^nd day, June 14, 2011, I was absent due to adding and dropping of subject. I have to cope up with my behind subject which is Software Engineering. The 3^rd day of my 3^rd week was a bit mess and busy day. In the morning, my co-OJT, Ms. Lovable Lalaine B. Fabela and I we’re assigned to distribute a SUN cellular billings to different department of this company. At first, I find it easy because all we have to do is to give the billings to the assigned personnel for receiving of bills of every department but later on it become very tiring. Since some people listed on the billings are independent, which means they are no longer part of the department’s liabilities so what we have to do is to search all over the company’s premises of where is this person taking his/her office hours. In the afternoon, I was taking in charge to backup all the obligatory files of one of the PC Unit of MONDE-NISSIN dept. After that, Sir Xavier Babatid, who is the IT technician and at the same time our supervisor instructed me to reformat the said PC and install the considered necessary software like QuickBooks Pro, Microsoft Office, Remote Administrator and Team Viewer.

The next 2 days of this week is all about setting up the new arrived 10 Lenovo Idea Pad net books for the employee of Smart Matina. At first we have to install the operating system which is Windows XP and did the partitioning of its hard disk into 80000. Later than that we have installed software for instance, Avira Antivirus Personal, Remote Admin, MS Office 2003, Adobe Reader, Team Viewer V.4, USB Disk Security, Compatibility Pack for MS Office, Google Chrome for browsing the internet and set the power user. At the end of Friday, I did the data encoding for the final re-transmittal of 10 Lenovo Idea Pad net books to Smart Matina.

On The Job Training [2nd week]

This week is all about technical support, troubleshooting and graphics design. Same with last week I also do reformatting some laptops and software installation. There are times also that I am task to do encoding especially when the IT Dept. is doing their inventory regarding on the computers of this company have. Later on, the EV department requested to edit a photo for the Electric vehicle tarpaulin and stickes and I do the honor.
 The tarpaulin was all about advertising their electric vehicle which is a NO GASOLINE POLLUTION vehicle and a tag line of “Sakay na!”. The sticker is for the contact information when buying an electric vehicle. In doing the photo editing I used adobe Photoshop CS4 and I also used CMYK color on it instead of RGB so that when printer out, it’s not pixilated. Nonetheless, I’ve set already the image for tarpaulin, the first is 16” x 47” and the other one is 20cm x 65cm, with the sticker size it was 5” x 16 “. On Saturday, the pictures are being finalized and ready to be printed out.

On The Job Training [first week]

The first week of my on the job training is not that much productive, since I started my duty on Wednesday I only have 4 days to do. As a neophyte, I do first some observations of how this company and the environment evolve inside its premises. As to what I observe, the business transaction of this company is all about distributing different products to malls, groceries and small stores. This involves product name as follows: UFC, MONDE, EUROBAKER, SMART, EV and etc.
 In the part of IT department, people there are not what really those people whose work is to do hard coding. Instead, IT department do database support, technical support and networking like reformatting issued PC’s and laptops of the company to their employees, software installation such as Microsoft Office, Team Viewer, QuickBooks, Adobe Reader, Remote Admin and Antivirus like Avira. These are the software commonly installed to old and new PC’s which are essential to the company’s daily business transactions.  My second day is all about file handling, since the MJ (Mead Johnson) department needs extra help for their accounting process since they are competing with the deadlines, I was task to separate their sales with an official receipt dated October 2010-present from the old sales and it takes a whole day for me to get the job done because it’s not only 10 or 20 stores record to encounter, it is more of what I think. The third day is more on technical issues like troubleshooting on printers, WIFI set-up and one IT technician have discussed to us regarding on the network problem of Euro Baker. With that, my learning from Network Technology 1 and Network Technology 2 are being recalled but still the problem remains unsolved because the server of euro baker provides a static IP address which is, for me, vague to imagine of how the gateway, IP addresses and routers or switches affect each other.

 By the next day, Saturday, is all about troubleshooting. Regarding with the Inventory System which is our project for our whole OJT period in this company, our data gathering is not yet enough to develop a project proposal and feasibility study because we are still waiting for the ongoing inventory that this company is doing.
