Ellaine Queen O. Radam – Office Administration

Hi, I’m Ellaine from the “City of Smiles” Naga City Bicol, Philippines. I am the youngest among the three siblings. I grew up in a simple family, living a simple life. My mother is a housewife while my father is a driver. I graduated with a Degree in Business Major in Entrepreneurship. I am happily engaged now to my longtime boyfriend and soon we will be married.

It all began when I was in high school. I’m an active youth advocate, leader and achiever too. At the age of 16, I was elected as Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Chairman in our village (Barangay). My main responsibilities were to initiate programs designed to enhance the social, political, economic, cultural, intellectual, moral, spiritual and physical development of the youth. It was an honour and a life changing moment for me.

After my 3 year term, I decided to continue working in the Office of Punong Barangay (Barangay Chairman) as an Office Clerk. I performed admin works, daily/monthly reports, organising, coordinating and planning of meetings, events and programs.

During that time I was also studying in college pursuing my degree in business. I was a self-supporting student; I worked in the morning till afternoon and attended my class after work. It’s not that easy being a working student, I didn’t have much time to rest because of full load subjects, deadlines and workloads. It was very hard at first, but eventually I became used to it. It helped me to become more motivated, inspired and determined to finish my studies. Finally, after 5 years I earned my degree and it was all worth it!

After graduation, I started wandering the world and exploring new things or new places. I decided to go and work abroad as a Sales Associate in one of the widely known hypermarket retail chains in the Middle East. As a sales associate, I was the one who was in charge of promoting and providing for the needs of customers as well as targeting our daily and monthly sales quota. During my stay there I realised that working abroad is not totally for me, so I decided to go home for good. Coming back to my own country was the best decision I’ve ever made.

One month later, I was hired as a Cashier/Inventory Control Assistant in a big appliance store near our place. My work mainly involved money handling, daily/monthly reports, admin tasks, inventory and customer service. I left the company after 2 years, because I wanted to pursue again my career in the government. After several months of waiting luckily, I was hired and assigned to the Traffic Management Center of Public Safety Office – LGU Naga City. I perform admin tasks, inventory, reports as PowerPoint presentations, editing traffic signs and maps in Adobe Photoshop, and coordinating meetings and events as necessary.

After years of working, I realised that there’s a lot of opportunities working online. That’s where it all started for me deciding to look for a job. I wanted to pursue working as a Virtual Assistant. Although I’m a newbie I am confident that my office based experience and skills would be a great asset to your company.

I’m the type of person who is very eager and determined to learn new things. I can multi-task, work under pressure – and I’m highly motivated when it comes to work. I have a positive attitude and a genuine heart.
