What's your job about?

Equus Software is a recognized innovator and leader in global workforce management solutions. My job is never boring— I’ve always been learning a lot of things every day from business analysis, configuration and project management, client relationship management, etc. which is exemplary in contributing to my personal growth while enhancing the company’s productivity and reputation.

What's your background?

I grew up in a rural province here in the Philippines where I attended a public school only from pre-school to college, a scholar from the nation’s taxes, a consistent dean’s lister and graduated with Latin honor, and an active youth-leader of different non-government organizations (NGO) – I’ve been living in life-worth experiences and opportunities during my early stage.

I do have some limited professional experiences already before I work here in Equus Software, as an Intern as a Project Manager and Jr. Consultant in a consultancy services firm which helps different organizations in their accreditation for Internal Organization for Standardization (ISO) and worked as a project-based employee from another consultancy services, broking, and solutions company as an Application Configuration Analyst. I can consider working with Equus Software as my first job where I was hired as a full-time employee and have been here for more than a year already, a job full of opportunities, growth, knowledge, and experiences.

Could someone with a different background do your job?

Yes, being a Business Analyst is a very diverse field where any profession can cope up with as long as you are keen on business analysis and project management while having a passion for being into technology. Equus Software also provides a very thorough onboarding to new hires which ensures the success of new employees.

What's the coolest thing about your job?

Well, working in this kind of field is full of perks and opportunities. There are opportunities to conduct international onsite visits and work in a very diverse culture and attitude of different types of employees. I was hired in the middle of the pandemic and I am looking forward to meeting my co-workers and clients in person once it is safe to travel.

What are the limitations of your job?

I’m a Business Analyst supporting the Implementation Team and working in this kind of phase of the project is somehow tough yet interesting and challenging at the same time. During this stage, a lot of business processes and workflows need to be analyzed, some can be configured using direct solutions yet some may require custom solutions. This may be the time you need some support system and collaboration on how to implement practical solutions while meeting the client’s requirements and without compromising the quality of your work.

3 pieces of advice for yourself when you were a student...

If I will be given a chance to meet the student-version of mine, I will definitely advise him to:

• Seize the moment. Enjoy all your chances, free bread, and liberty while you are still young because these are the things you will be missed when you started to enter adult life that are full of responsibilities, disturbance, and bills to pay.
• Invest in your goals. While you are still young, you should invest in your personal growth. Get to know new things, nourish your skills and talent, take some courses and certifications – these are some of the highly valuable things in your professional career.
• Strengthen your inner peace. Being an adult is full of anxieties and stress, while you’re still young, please strengthen your mental state and have a strong foundation of inner peace. This will be your sole company while striving in your day-to-day life of being an adult.
