Jers Raymundo

I know most of you scrolling through my profile is trying to save time and be more productive so let me cut to the chase.

Friends and colleagues call me Jers, a 21 year old alumna of Polytechnic University of the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in English. I just graduated last May 2019 and proceeded working weeks after that so, just like every fresh graduates, I'm trying to glide through life and see what life still has in store for me outside of the university.

People said we should get a job we're passionate about so it wouldnt feel like working. But as for me, it is either we take our passion and make use of it, or we make use of whatever it is that we currently have and find something in it that we could be passionate about. So, as someone who loves writing and has excelled in it both in highschool and college, I thought I would love my part-time job to be something that wouldnt make me count the hours left until the end of my shift. In addition to this, being in quarantine took most of our sources of income: my father lost his job while mine is unstable so more than passion, I want to earn enough for the needs of my family.

I know this is a cliche we're all tired if hearing but I am willing to learn and strive to be the kind of writer you need me to be.
