Career and Opportunities in the Field of Marketing and Operations

Name: Alcayde, Mariah Irish R.

Section: ABM 12-1

   My takeaway from our recent webinar on Career and Opportunities in the Field of Marketing and Operations is that I learned about college business and management programs and courses that I might pursue, as well as the opportunities under the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, BSBA Major in Marketing Management, and BSBA Major in Operations Management courses. The opportunities under those courses are exactly what I want to do after I graduate; those are my dream job. The most common opportunity is the entrepreneur, Mr. Lambino said that all people can start a business and create a new product, he also said that “Walang empleyado ang yumayaman, karamihan ng mayayaman ay may business, kagaya ng Doctor.” that is not what his specific said but that is what I understand on what he said. This webinar has been quite helpful in assisting me in deciding what degree I will take, what profession I want to pursue in the future, and which employment is most suited to my course. This allows me to conduct more study into what I want to achieve and what I want in the future, allowing me to make better-informed decisions and avoid regret.

   I enjoyed the webinar, particularly the part where Mr. Lambino assigned us seatwork to complete and respond to. The task was difficult yet challenging, which I liked, however, no one on our Zoom meeting participants got it right. Mr. Lambino explained his PowerPoint well, and he also provided some examples. At first, he listed the various opportunities and careers available under the various courses, which I thoroughly enjoyed because I'm interested in learning more about the jobs or opportunities available to me after I graduate from college. I didn't learn enough because he simply read several opportunities without explaining them, but I can just search it up on the internet. I think that several of the presentations, such as the one concerning student discounts at MCU, are unrelated to our topic of Career and Opportunities in the Field of Marketing and Operations. 

   The second topic he presented was the Benefits of Management Science, which I mainly understood since it was about business, specifically the CVP, or cost, volume, and profit, which is the major basis for determining if a company is profitable or not. As I previously stated, I appreciated the seatwork he provided us since my answer was close to the correct answer; yet, I am not confident in what I have solved; but, that is okay; at the very least, I know what to do for the next webinar, which I should answer confidently. I hope that the next time he explains things more thoroughly and provides more examples and exercises so that we don't become bored or drowsy.
