Stepping stone

Good day everyone ! Feeling good today ? I hope you are. Every day is a good day for everyone. Feeling positive*

This time I'm going to write about my life as an intern in a great company called Prometric. This is the place where my 1st internship started and it was an awesome experience for me in my life. Feeling good*



Let me share with you all about this company, Prometric. I like to keep it simple and deliverable to everyone so below are the points about Prometric. Read more
  • US company in the test administration industry for more than 20 years
  • A company where delivers good quality exams throughout the world
  • Operates a test center network which composed of over 10000 sites in 160 countries
Time travel back

Beginning of this year, my lecturer has organized me a work placement in Ireland. My 1st job interview was in Drogheda which was 45 minutes bus ride away from my town, Dundalk. Some of you may think this is far but when you are here in Ireland, this is the nearest of all. Smiled* 

At that time, I was totally prepared for the interview except for one thing. My attire wear! Feeling anxious* My good friend, Rohini looked at me and speechless. She told me that attire wear is one of the most important aspects to go for job interview. First impression. Note to myself, shopping time ! Laughed*


In the end, I didn't get the job but my friend, Balazs did. He is a good friend of mine. At least, I knew what it feels like to be interviewed by professional geeks. Feeling noob*

Few weeks later, I received an email from college that I have another job interview from a company called Prometric. This time, I managed to get myself a proper attire. Feeling satisfied* I looked so office lady and it surprises a lot of my friends. It was my first skirt I bought since I do not know when. Can you believe that ?! I can't believe on myself either. Laughed*

Where it all started

I remembered that time was a cold afternoon day. Rohini and I were so nervous and excited at the same time. We needed to prepare a presentation for them to show what we did at college so far. Luckily we have our backup secret weapon. Feeling relieved* Always have backup plans. We did superb good during the interview and we got the job ! Feeling great* Finally.


Here it is, Prometric. I love the working environment here. Simple and modern. I just love the colours they used. Life should be simple yet colourful. Feeling blessed*





Behind the scenes

I love the people in Prometric because of their friendliness, humorous, originality and as idealist people. I have learnt a lot from them about being a professional at work. 

 










Now, let us meet the PPM the fantastic four ! Smiled* I love the team so much. There are my mentors, friends, colleagues, teammates and inspirational people. Hugs* I'm going to miss them. We may be a small team but we can overcome any obstacles just like a snap of a finger. Finger snapped* So bring it on EPSO, SCHS ! Sorry team, I only can think of these two. Laughed* 


Meet Brendan, he is the manager in our team. He really amazed me because he can managed a lot of tasks at one time. Even though he is a really busy man but he always keeps himself calm. I wonder does he have any extra memory cards in his brain ? Laughed*

Emmanuelle, the team leader. She is our mom in the team. Winked* She takes care of me really well. I love her being around. She reminds me of my mom in a way. Giggled* I love her cakes !

Laura, the opposite neighbour. I like being around with her. She is nice, loves to sing with the radio, often forgets her appointments, talk to herself and a lucky charm person. We always chat when we are free and once we started, there is no ending. Laughed*

Last but not least, Conor the IT successor. He loves to eat and jokes around. Sometimes he talks to himself and likes to tease people. He is a joker because he creates fun atmosphere in our team. Laughed* I always laughed about it.

Thanks for all your supports and guidance for the past 9 months. It has been a great experience for me. I will never forget about it. Hugs and Kisses*


This is not the end but just the beginning of my journey. I believe every one of us has a second chance in life. Failures don't born naturally but man made them. It is all depends on ourselves how much you want to change your life to a better one. I hope you all out there who failed once doesn't mean is forever. Keep working hard and you will see the outcome. Winked* Trust me, this one is genuine.

Believe you can & you're halfway there

I'm not good in giving speech so I want to give a great big thank you here to everyone in Prometric for giving me a big chance to learn. I hope maybe one day I can work with you all. Thanks for all the memories we have created and the laughter we shared. In future, Prometric will be going to fly up high to the sky of success. Cheers ~


With Love,
