I started as a Repair Engineer at Aviat Networks way back October 2000. This is a new environment for me after coming from a Semiconductor/Manufacturing firm. Aviat Networks is more of a Telecommunications industry that is totally different from my previous company. We serve SMART and GLOBE to provide their end users ability to communicate thru text, calls and act as a super highway for Internet Access. Aviat Networks pay a good amount of salary plus the numerous benefits that we received which I never knew existing in a corporate world. We only work until Friday compare to the Saturday and sometimes (even Sunday) with my previous employer. I remember telling myself that I will make sure that I will give this company a 101% of my capability.
My defining moment was when I was promoted as a Supervisor in just 3rd year of my career in the company. I believe in my heart that God puts me here. First, I'm not the best Electronics engineer to be in the position. There are many talented and smarter Engineers than me. Second, one of my colleagues is even our no. 2 in the Electronics Engineering class and I'm probably the no. 22 out of our 25 students. I was one of the employees to be promoted Supervisor in just my 3rd year in the company. Probably, the bosses can see thing in me that I cannot see in myself. Honestly, I never expected to be promoted that easily. One of the best guess I can give is probably I can easily adapt to new things and the maturity in handling difficult situations. I may never have the excellent talent in providing the best technical solutions to an issue surrounding the quality of the products. But I created an innovative process that change the way we do things. I introduce a technique on how to increase our output by 300%. I removed all unnecessary process that slows us down in serving the customers.
