It’s Not Goodbye

June 19th, 2008 · by Sonnie · Ask Sonnie, Career, Personal, Salt and Light, Self Help

Today is my last day as a Human Resource Manager from my employer of 10 years.

It was a rewarding and challenging career, I joined the company on 1998 as Training Officer. I was assigned in a center at QC and handled the in-house training programs and employee activities. Likewise, I’m part of the group that conceptualize and develop company wide corporate training programs. After about a year, we were  moved to the newly renovated and expanded training center to focus on developing company wide programs.

Since I intend to learn the different silos of people management, I requested to be transferred as an HR Officer. In the process, I was given promotion to be Human Resource Manager of an affiliate company. Six months after, I was confirmed to the position.

It was a challenging and lesson filled 8 years as Human Resource Manager having experienced situations that “sharpened my saw”. Admittedly, there were unpleasant times and I have thought of giving up. But looking back, all those experiences made me a better person, and better HR Manager. Though I recognize there’s still a lot to learn and even more room to improve.

To top management thank you for the opportunity to work with your company, and the rewarding career.

To the executives that I worked with, thank you for sharpening the saw.

To colleagues and staff, thank you for the lessons learned and memories.

Tomorrow, I will begin to embark a new chapter of my career as an Asst. Vice President for Human Resources,  a new set of learnings and challenges lies ahead of me. Though I am confident of the task, please include me in your prayers.
