I was in Cebu when my first job as a graphic designer all started. My friends told me to apply at Golden ABC which happened to be the owner of my favorite casual wear "Penshoppe" and "Oxygen" clothing. On the day of my interview, I was so excited that almost my whole personality was inverted into a different me. I came there overdressed like I was going to attend a wedding ceremony. And on top of that I was wearing a pair of flat shiny shoes that never in my entire high-school life have I worn that. As an artist, I am comfortable wearing clothes that suite my mood. I wear anything which are complementary in colors-- maybe gray and black, black and white, orange and blue or maybe black all the way.
Anyway, my interview was quite impressive though my interviewee found me funny about how I dressed that day. The bottom line is that I was accepted as a graphic artist whose responsible was to design their posters, hang tags, packaging and bags. It was once in a lifetime experience because I got to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for the first time. Unlike at school, we just used Corel draw and paint for our graphic projects.
Big thanks to my mentor, Joe Talisic, for taking time to teach me how to use designer softwares such as Photoshop and Illustrator since it all started there to where I am right now.

Good thing that I still haven't known you during that time. I think it was okay for you to be overdressed because it only meant that you really prepared much and as long as you didn't appear like you were going to a burial ceremony (LOL!!!).
