CCK Emmanuel A. Ocampo

“I have never seen myself working with Agile before, but one of my old colleagues told me to visit the office in Makati, and it was not easy applying for a trainee since I was not competent enough back then. As a catering cadet since June 2018, I was responsible for all the kitchen works and cooking for the employees and officials. Then I met Atty Imelda Barcelona, a woman who is so strict and a perfectionist, who never fails to point out my mistakes and never stops correcting them in a proper way. One thing that I will not forget was when she discussed then she listed on the white board all of the mistakes that I have made and she explained to me how I can perfectly improve them. Hence, I will never forget that day and I will always instill in my mind all the lessons that I have learned from her and with Ma'am Star who is handling the catering cadets. Moreover, I was able to practice my profession when I first join Cordula Jacob then Nell Jacob and lastly Nordic Bern where I always do my best to show all the learnings I have gained from Attorney. Now that I’m on my fourth vessel, I may say that with Agile, you are not a simple seaman worker but they really value the potentials of their employees. Proud to say… within 3 years, they appreciate my experience and now I was promoted and will join Nordic Geneva from a Mess Man to Chief Cook. I am thankful to all of the operational team who valued my work, Ma'am Star, Ma'am Marga, and especially Atty. Imelda Barcelona.

 

I am wholly grateful for what they have given me and I will continue to prove that the trust that they have vested in me will be worth it & successful and will not be wasted. Thus, I would to say the through Agile, small steps in the right direction can turn out to be the biggest step in your life.”
