Introduction
On-the-Job-Training or OJT is job training that occurs in the work place. It is part of a college curriculum that aims to train and orient students about the work and their future career. It is very important not only to teach students their chosen career but to show students the reality about working.
Students should not take OJT for granted because if you will get a high evaluation grade, your employer might hire you when you graduate. Your background OJT is very important when applying for a job. Oftentimes, employers will ask you the relevance of your training to your course and to the position you are applying for. It will be your training ground. If you still have no idea on what is meant to be a worker, OJT will give a hint of career realities. Your OJT superior might as well recommend your skills to other companies whom he knows.
It will give you a sense of confidence that you can use when applying for a job after graduation and also help you to make career choices.
Students should realize the importance of OJT on their future career. Having a good performance during OJT is very important especially now that there's a tight competition towards job seekers and the high qualification of companies.

Right after the interview, she gave us some advices regarding on how to pass a real job interview. We learned a lot from her, she gave us some tips and dos and don’ts for a job interview.

Conclusion
At the end of the on-the-job training period, we experienced many things and learned from it. We gained knowledge about the work in a radio broadcasting company. We learned how competition happens among radios stations, their strategies, on how to conduct a survey, how to please the listeners, and we also learned how to operate a board in a DJ booth. It is very important to learn these things because these are the things essential for us to know about this kind of work.
Throughout the training, we experienced dealing with different kind of people around us, with the listeners, bosses and most especially with our co-workers. It is important to a group of workers to have camaraderie so that they can work well and attain their goal.
Through this OJT, I saw the difference when you are in school and in the real world. Most of the time you just learn theoretically in school while in real world, you actually experience and apply what the trainers taught to you.
