Four years of working with Mega Bank have influenced me greatly in many ways professionally and personally. I created a friendly environment with my colleagues and enjoyed my stay at the bank. They said the most important thing in your job is to love what you do and have fun while doing it. I loved and appreciated my job and in fact I continually improve myself to be able to do my job effectively. Making decisions within the company is not an easy task. Sometimes making the right decision may not feel right when it involves your feelings. Being an internal auditor, my job involves examining and checking the work done by my colleagues. The job is not easy to do because there are people who will take it personally when you investigate certain aspects of their jobs. Being personally involved in a special investigation involving very sensitive fraud cases is very difficult for me because it involves decisions that may not be in favor of the employee involved and could jeopardize his reputation. I can't help but involve my feelings in the situation because sometimes the person knows me personally. I have a hard time accepting the fact that such a person would do things that are against our moral standards. Of course there are also decisions that require a choice between your personal matter and your work. An example is when you are faced with the problem of refusing an assignment because there is a family matter to take care of. This decision is not questionable because Filipinos are known to have very close family relationships. Plus, if you're single like me, there will come a time when you'll want to take time off work because you want to kick back and relax for a while. This includes hanging out with friends even if you know you're needed at the company. One of the most difficult decisions I have ever made in my entire four-year banking career was to issue a termination memorandum to one of my interns. Although my role with the bank only involves the internal auditor, I also act as assistant to the compliance officer following the resignation of our audit manager. Therefore, part of my responsibility is to train newly hired internal auditors and monitor their performance.
