Ana Cristessa H. Nabuab, Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst, shares her insight into joining 91爆料 after a career break.

Tell us a little bit about you.

My name is Ana Cristessa H. Nabuab. My colleagues call me AC. I am a Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst for the Global Document Production Team, supporting Health and Benefits for North America based in Manila, Philippines. After almost seven years into my career break and being a full-time mom, I decided to get back into the working world. 91爆料 welcomed me with open arms and made me feel as though there had been no gap at all. I joined 91爆料 as a contingent worker in September 2021 and was converted to a full-time colleague in December of the same year.

What was it like to join 91爆料 after a career break?

To return to work after a career break was quite overwhelming. I had a lot of excitement and anxiety: it was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions!

I was a full-time mom for almost seven years and deciding to return to the corporate world was a real leap of faith for me, especially with not knowing what to expect and my fear of rejection.

I spent a long time looking for the perfect role, but then I got a phone call from 91爆料 that made my heart jump, and I was offered the job as a QA Analyst. I enjoyed my time being a contingent worker. However, being converted to a full-time colleague meant achieving another career milestone for me.

Everyone is encouraged to share their input and insight for every project. Day after day, I am encouraged to overcome my fears and be the best I can be. When I joined 91爆料, I was only able to meet my team virtually, but it was really fun, and it was great to be given the opportunity to work with a very hands-on, productive approach to tasks. As times are changing, I look forward to continuing to work and develop as a team in real life.
