What's your job about?

I’m responsible for reviewing the bank’s operations and control processes.  In one of my department rotations, I pinpointed and addressed reprocessing waste, it was an already existing long-term problem, but so far no one was able to quantify its negative impact to the bank, thus no corrective action has been taken.

What's your background?

I grew up here in Metro Manila with my parents. I was used to the busy and fast-paced city life, which was evident during my college years. Back then, I was actively involved in academic competitions, and also an executive officer in two student organizations. On top of that, I did paid voluntary internships in a couple of companies. I’m currently on my first job and I applied for it through LinkedIn. I have been with RCBC for more than a year already.

Could someone with a different background do your job?

Yes, as long as someone has high levels of grit and ingenuity. 

What's the coolest thing about your job?

What I love most about my job is working on process improvements, because I am able to improve the quality of life for the people in the bank.

What are the limitations of your job?

My job might not be a fit for people who can’t socialize well. Communication is essential in my job, I must be able to adapt/cater to the needs and preferences of multiple people everyday.
