This coming June will be my 3rd year with Trend Micro and I am proud to say that from the previous companies I’ve been with, Trend Micro is the best. Best people to work with, no office politics and I did not even feel that I am just an ordinary Level 1 engineer. Trend Micro is like a family to me.
I was assigned to Team Delta and I can say that I am very lucky that my mentors were Sir Balle and Ms. Julia. Our team that time was always on top and we always get excellent feedbacks (of what I’ve heard) because of what we call “Delta culture”. Culture that we need to pass on not just only to our future team mates but with other consumer teams as well. I see a lot of us grow and I am always happy for them. Seeing them grow motivated me to apply as well for “any” given opportunity. Obviously, I did not get "any" position. Funny, because I came to a point that I ended up telling myself that I am now contented as a Level 1 engineer and I just want to enjoy what I am doing.
Just one day when I woke up, a question popped up on my mind and that is—When will be the time that I'll be happy for myself?(career wise) Honestly, it's not a simple question at all. I’ve been happy ever since when it comes to love life and yet I feel that something is missing. That is—self accomplishment.
I started to evaluate myself. I tried to look back and recall those days to check what happened especially with my previous applications. I'm confident that I'm good but I started to realize that I can be great. I have overlooked what I really love to do. I do not want to answer calls for the rest of my life (lol). Then I said to myself: What you reap is what you sow
After a few months, I got an e-mail from my Team Lead, Ms. Anj about the opening and I didn't even think ignoring this opportunity. I guess it just all boils down to what I really love to do and how prepared I am to take this opportunity.
Now, I am applying for System Engineer (Self Service) because of these reasons:
1. I want to be happy for my own accomplishments so why not take the risk
2. I want to contribute my knowledge and skills in further improving the Self Service process. I believe my High CSAT will help a lot because at the end of the day, our only goal is to keep the business high and to achieve that our company needs more happy customers
3. I want to learn and discover new things
4. I am confident that I am prepared with my overall metrics
5. Lastly, I wanted a new laptop (lol)

this was inspiring... i used to be contented with where I was but then I realized there's more for me out there! good luck on your endeavor! i like the part "i wanted a new laptop (lol)"
There is always a room for betterment for each and everyone. This proved that you are now paving that way on your life and you are now accepting that change, that you are ready whatever it is that may be out there given the opportunity.
I like the part that says you can be great. I remember Indian people, and why they succeed in life. They have only one thing in mind about all these, "Good to great."
Keep it up, and I am hoping for a good news about this. I know you can do a lot because I was with you in the past and I know what you can do and your great contribution not only to the company but to the team is highly-essential for our learning, and I guess it's time you soar high and get what you want. Make it happen raqz! :)

wow... deltan din ako ... looking at the pic, am standing on raqz's left. I've felt warmth on my 2-year stay with the Delta family. Growing through it, it seemed like I was molded perfectly not just by my team leader/manager, but by the group itself.... a very precious chapter of my life. It was almost like "not a work" for me. Good luck sayo, raqz! We'll be celebrating!!!
