More
than 500 graduating students gathered at the Activity Center of Centro
Escolar University, Makati for their annual Job Hunting Seminar, on
October 25, 2016. With the theme, “Branding on Campus: Maximizing Career
Opportunities,” the seminar aims to help graduating students gain a
competitive advantage as they go out to pursue their respective careers
after graduation.
The first half of the seminar featured
two of the country’s most sought-after motivational speakers of this
generation – Pambansang Inspirasyon Lloyd Luna, and Pocholo “The
VoiceMaster” Gonzales.
After an intermission number, the
VoiceMaster came onstage to talk about “Personal Branding for Students.”
He began his talk with an introduction of what he is doing – as a voice
artist, youth advocate, storyteller and a motivational speaker. The
VoiceMaster entertained the crowd with his repertoire of character
voices, hugot lines and humorous banters.
The VoiceMaster then transitioned to the
meat of his talk – about finding one’s purpose in order to establish
their brand. He emphasized how important it is to discover one’s passion
and purpose, in order for them to do work that is meaningful and not
just do work to earn money. He reminded the young people that they are
not “young” forever, and that it’s never too late or too early to pursue
what they would like to become. The VoiceMaster also told the story of
how he, at the young age of 16, discovered his passion for voice acting,
which later on became the catapult to establish his brand as the
VoiceMaster.
The VoiceMaster also shared his “8 to be
GREAT” – or the 8 qualities of people of greatness. He explained that
one’s success in his/her chosen career or profession does not rely on
how you write your resume, or how you dress up or answer questions
during an interview. Rather, being great has to do with building
character, so that they don’t just ace their job application, but their
career as well.
The VoiceMaster closed his talk with his
Pochology: Availability is the best ability. He challenged the students
to be open to opportunities for them to express their passion and
skills.
