Disclaimer: I do not claim to be an expert for all the skills and capabilities I have mentioned, but I am confident that I am good at them. I can even confidently say that I am better at them than most.
Being a student at the University of the Philippines Los Baños, I can say that I have had more than my fair share of not only dealing with paperwork, but other academic tasks and activities as well. Under their BS Biology program, we were taught and trained to be hands-on with our methodology. Majoring in Wildlife Biology also gave me the necessary skills and knowledge when conducting fieldwork for my studies and research. And being a cadet and graduate of the University's Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) further enhanced my skills in thinking and acting reasonably and calmly while under pressure, because the University's ROTC program takes pride in ensuring that they would produce highly reliable Philippine Army Reservists that are more than ready when duty calls.
I may be an undergraduate, and yes, I have not been able to finish my studies, but the skills and knowledge I gained from my stay in the University gave me the capability to be able to effectively accomplish the tasks assigned to me when I was accepted for work by my previous employers.
For most of my working years, I have been employed under government offices. Initially, I was a clerk, and rescuer, at our Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. This was where I began to fully utilize my skills in not only writing and presenting reports, but also in planning and conceptualizing by contributing to the plans by the Local Government to enhance their capabilities when it comes to Disaster Risk Reduction, Calamity Preparedness, and Humanitarian Aid.
Then, when the COVID Pandemic Lockdowns were implemented, I was reassigned to our locality's COVID Isolation Facility under the same office, where I served not just as a clerk and front-desk personnel, but also as healthcare worker/provider for the COVID patients that were brought to our facility. All the while, during the weekends, especially after the lockdowns were lifted, I reported and participated in the various activities conducted by our Unit in the Philippine Army Reserve.
Finally, after working as a clerk, rescuer, and healthcare worker in our Municipality, I left my hometown and enlisted in the Philippine Army, where I was accepted as part of their Special Enlistment Program. This is the program where the Army scans through the details of Candidate Soldiers (CS) in search of those with skills, talents, and capabilities that the Army needs. It was here in the Army that I was able to fully show, and utilize my skills, talents and capabilities, especially in the field of writing, transcribing, editing, data entry, research, content production, and Voiceover talent. Due to these skills, I was assigned in the Research, Production, and Dissemination Company of one of the Battalions of our Regiment, where I was assigned as writer, and broadcaster for the Unit's online radio program. I was also designated as Team Leader for Research, and content producer for the Regiment's Social Media Unit. And I was often being tapped to serve as voiceover talent and narrator for the AVPs and audio recordings being produced, not just by the Philippine Army, but the other Branches of Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. All was well.
Sadly, my stint in the Army had to end due to unforeseen circumstances. Nonetheless, I was Honorably Discharged with flying colors. At the same time, this gave me the opportunity to further explore, develop my skills, and gain more experience in various other fields.
So if you happen to be searching for: a writer, may it be for scripts, reports, inventory of equipment, letters, or requests; an editor for the books, articles, scripts, reports, or letters that you wrote; a transcriber for the meetings you have participated in or for the subtitles on your videos; and a voice actor to give life to your AVPs, I am here.
