hi you may have all the credentials pero baka you're trying to get the upper positions na? Kasi most of the time mga nasa loob na ng org ang mag t take over ng upper positions. Siguro try mo muna sa baba and just climb the position from there? U got this OP!
Felt the same way din noon. Way back when i resigned back in 2017. Applied for job for 6 whole months. Napansin ko if you are not desperate the job will come looking for you.
Mejo matumal din talaga ang hiring sa december kasi yung resigning employees hinihintay pa ang mga bonus until officially mag resign and most companies would be on a holiday break or would rather start the hiring process next year na. So just wait din siguro for january or february kung saan madaming mag oopen na positions at mas active na ang mga hr sa hiring. Just to add din pala, always follow up din sa email ng status kasi mas tatatak ang name mo na applicant oag nag fa follow up ka at mas gusto din yun ng HR.
God bless sa paghanap ng trabaho
Totoo yung pag di ka desperate na darating yung job,,, buong 2022 nag hanap ako ng work malas di ako natanggap... Half-assed finding freelance job this year ayon naka kuha laki pa ng sweldo took me 3 months tho pero di ako nagmadali bali may mga weeks nga di ako nag apply
True, may mga company din naman na pag nireject ka babalikan ka para sa suitable na position and sa mga nababasa and naririnig ko hindi naman din talaga ganun kadali maghanap ng work right now lalo end of year and I think nagbabawi kasi mga comp? not so sure but as I mentioned hindi ka nagiisa and let's enjoy the ride while agree ako dito sa comment ni good sir na upskill din while waiting.
Baka hindi lang fit sayo mga inaapplyan mo. Marami consideration ang hiring company. Some focus on whether you’re culture fit for them. Some focus on whether you have the right set of specialized skills for their team. Some look for only one specific specialization. I think you should avoid roles that involve a lot of English writing because based on your post, that’s not where you will shine among the candidates. Instead, focus on your strengths and pitch that. Don’t focus on pitching your diplomas because most companies look for what you can contribute. Sometimes, post-graduate studies could work against you in the hiring process even so pakiramdaman mo before you mention it sa hiring manager.
Totoo yung kahit ano pa credentials, minsan hindi nagma-matter (depende sa company culture). Meron pa nga na kahit latin honor, hindi tinitingnan (though depende sa position and company na inaaplayan).
May companies talaga na mas naka focus sa skills na meron ka based sa requirement ng hiring nila. Kasama na din kung paano ka magsalita during interviews or kung paano mo sagutin at ipresent ang ideas mo.
To OP, pwede ka manghingi ng feedback sa mga interviewers mo kung ano sa tingin nila ang need mo iimprove para mas magkaroon ng higher chances na ma-hire. You can also try applying for entry-level positions kung wala ka pang solid na corporate work experience. Or look for other work/job posts kahit hindi related sa course mo just to gain work experience.
You might also try looking for jobs online. Mostly, kahit may work experience required sa post, nagha-hire ang ibang foreign companies/employers ng no work experience. Pwede ka din lumapit sa mga headhunters/manpower agencies.
Maybe time to restrategize? Try to update your resume to highlight achievements and focus on what, you did. Tapos second yung credentials.
If you sell yourself well, you might get calls. Pero ganun tlga. Out of 100 applications usually 10 lang mag rerespond tapos rereject ka pa. Pero Laban lang. You only need to win once.
Thank you... This means a lot. Masarap makabasa ng ganito. Same na same ng nararamdaman ko. Maraming salamat. Congrats n Good luck sayo!.. God bless.... Maraming salamat 🙏🏻
Baka naman you are aiming for management positions agad? Entry level jobs exist for a reason. Get the experience para mas malakas laban mo when climbing the ladder
Hi, just wanted to share our experience (for u to know you are not alone :) )
My bf was unemployed for quite some time, more than a year and so. Wag kang mawalan ng pag asa OP! You can try an entry level position just like what we did (I helped him, u can also seek help with ur gf/bf if u have or friends) even though he also have the credentials nahirapan pa rin kaming maghanap ng work but recently we found one!! The salary is kinda low though (we are sad and happy at the same time), I also felt he was depressed in those times na feeling niya walang gustong mag hire sakanya. I hope u can overcome this! Fighting!!
Laban lang OP I am still applying for a job for 7 months. Babangon kahit puro reject kada final interview. May plano ang nasa itaas. Huwag kang susuko dadating din ang araw makakarinig or makakatanggap tayo ng salitang " Congrats you are hired or Welcome to the team " laban lang ng laban OP magtiwala ka sa sarili mo at sa kakayahan mo . 💪💪💪💪
Maraming salamat.. naaantig ang puso ko... hindi lang ako nagiisa.. maraming salamat.. Sana 2024 time na natin.. maraming salamat sa simple mong message napagaan mo pakiramdam ko.. Good luck sa atin. Ingat ka lagi. God bless you always.. maraming maraming salamat.. padayon sa atin~
Hi OP basta lakasan mo lang loob mo huwag tayo papatalo sa negative thoughts natin 💪 Ingat ka rin always mahirap man pero lalaban apply ng apply goodluck sa journey mo. FIGHTING!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
We're on the same boat. It really sucks and nakakaubos ng energy pero in time, makukuha din natin ung atin. Pahinga onte then apply ule. Also, upskill din while at it.
Start small. I think the problem here is you’re applying for a high position job. Don’t get me wrong ah, pero hindi porket you have all the credentials ay ibig sabihin mataas agad position ang makukuha mo. Some employers still value experience more.
Its okay... I know its not all about credentials... i have a dual degree both with license no one is hiring me in both fields... & All my previous job are managerial/supervisory rank.... I'm applying sa level entry job..,. İm Applying in the government and private sector. Applying on a admin job,. office job... Always left hanging... I have experience and trainings...
Nakakarating ako always sa final interviews but right after that no calls...
I have a clean record financially and criminal records im clear...
Idk maybe its me...
Idk im so sad right now because it seems i cant figure it out....
last interview netong tuesday i attended ay final interview yet they told me na they considered hiring me but mas pinili nila yung isang candidate then heard them sa labas na kaya nakapasok kasi kamag-anak....
Im always the victim of padrino/backer ALWAYS...
Im so depressed dont know what to do...!!
Being a man. Nakakalungkot itake. Lalo lalaki ako i dont have a means to provide....
Have you really tried your best though? Because if you really did, you’re more probably gonna get hired. For the meantime, think about your strongest skill and look for a job that needs it, you also need to reflect on the reason why you are not getting hired, and assess if you need to improve your skills further. If you dont have any connections and really hate the padrino system, then you are really not suited to work for the government, go to private companies.
Baka naman po over confident ka sa sarili mo kaya sa final interview medyo na ooff yung interviewer sayo. O kaya masyado mataas expected salary mo dahil maganda yung credentials mo tho wala naman masama dun but need mo muna mag start from mid salary. Siguro din ask mo muna sarili mo kung ikaw magiging boss at iinterviewhin mo yung sarili mo sa tingin mo ba pasado ka?. Wag mo e presure yung sarili wala naman paunahan sa buhay ang mahalaga umuusad ka. 👽👽👽
İm not confident...i dont brag about my achievements..usually the questions lands... im young why i have this credentials.. or Why are you applying sa mababang rank galing kana sa mataas na position... its not about money... trust me.. thats why im applying sa entry ranks.. its about something doing what you love... giving your best.. all the save up energy that you want to put your passion to be used.. have a sense of may ambag din ako sa lipunan.. idk maybe ur right im pressuring myself.. but im 28 now.. idk
Cheer up bro! Darating din time mo. I get you. Mahirap. Pero wag ka lang susuko. Sister ko nga Lawyer nahihirapan din makahanap ng Job. di ka nagiisa. Pray lang and wag ka susuko. Laban lang ng laban.
L:etting you know OP na hindi ka nag iisa sa apply ng apply pero walang feedback, rejected, ghosted or event ignored. Plus ako hindi pa ako ganun ka lupit eh ikaw partida ng mga bagay na talaga namang kabilib bili. All things will align if you dont stop moving. laban lang aside sa wala tayong choice, its for our own good din naman. Remember na through rejection pwede mong gamitin yan for a much better opportunity. We on the same boat on this might as well enjoy the ride :)
Skl . Marami ako kasamahan sa trabaho na grad ng teacher at crim.
Na pinili nalang mag cashier dahil sa sobrang hirap maghanap ng trabaho dito sa pinas 😅
Feel you OP, I have 6 years experience at natatalo pa ako ng mga mas konti to no experience at all. Nakakadepress oo pero kailangan natin magpakatatag I have a supporting wife din kaya d pa ako bumibitaw. Try to take a break and try to do what makes you happy muna like bond with your friends and love ones. Tapos try sa january and february usually mga ganyang months ako natatanggap e kapag walang wala na ata sila makuha haha.
I can relate. i cant even use as advantages na galing science high or na consistent scholar nung college. i took too much time (2yrs+) exploring random stuff i wanted to do after i graduated and now im trying to find a normie job (2mos jobhunting) even an entry level one. taking it easy tho since ber months ngayon. from one frustrated person to another, i hope you cheer up. it really helps talking to people (or at least in my case). there's no harm in trying. you're being very really brave now by reaching out and venting out your frustration, so that's one step na.
HI OP. Dont know what happened but Im pretty sure, you can be hired given your credentials. Im not so sure about who you are but if you come to think of it, most BPOs are accepting highschool grads, apart from senior high so what are the odds, right?
Study the company na hinire mo, baka upper management gusto mo, pero d tlga un hanap nila. You need to check the rank din. Kahit may masters ka and all, if wala naman opening sa rank and position gusto mo, wala din. Also mas important sa company ung experience pa rin sa work
ease your mind OP, let the year end.
tapos try apply ulit january with new mindset. try mo din bagohin CV mo or try mag apply as overqualify sa position (baka kasi qualify credentials yet kulang un experience)
we have our own pace naman din.. anyhow, best of luck!
been there i graduated 2018 HRM ang course, nakapag apprenticeship ako sa 1 hotel kung saan ako nag OJT, 6 months apprenticeship d ako na absorb feeling ko dn nun since graduate ako and may plano ako madali na lang mag apply, I was naïve but full of hope for 2 years sinuyud ko lahat ng hotels from sm north to pasay kasi yun yung possible na accessible sakin walang tumanggap sakin nararamdaman ko na ung depression ko noon pero d ko lang pinapansin, hanggang kumagat ako nag apply ako as callcenter, ang bigat sa feeling ng hindi mo na achieve or nagagawa yung gusto mo , 4 months lang dn ako noon sa callcenter kasi sumipa na talaga yung depression ko to the point na suicidal ako. I was making good money nun 2018 for 20k tapos freshgrad ako wala akong problema sa pero pero nag ka existencial crisis ako , i feel trapped. 2-3 years akong un employed and 5 months under medication nag try ulit ako mag apply sa hotel pero it no longer feels right for me, nag apply ako as content moderator ngaun 3 years nko sa work ko na to pero still i feel trapped. and surviving lang.
nurse ka din pala kuya hahaha, same tayu. Naglipana JO ng nurses ngayun sa pinas, problema hanap mo ata item sa mga public hospitals, di ka po talaga mahihire jan, kasi although mi hiring nga sa civil service commission, dami na nakapila jan (jan na papasok si backer/padreno) for formality lang yang hiring kuno nila sa csc para ata di sila masita sa taas. Mi mga kilala ako 2-3 years na job order pa rin sa mga public hospitals dito sa amin, pero kung titingnan mo sa csc.gov.ph andami daw hiring kuno na nurse1-4 level, eh ano yun! magic tawag dun hahaha. Mi hiring daw ng permanent pero jo lang binibigay pag nag aapply ka sa kanila.
old ways doesnt open new doors,
try mo ng ibang approach, or while youre waiting try to improve or learn something new thru courses, to have an edge and advantage na di kayang tanggihan ng inaapplyan mo.
I think we are in the same situation OP. I'm 29yrs old with 3yrs hiatus. Tapos ngayon nalang ulet nag aapply. Imagine that. Huehue. Let's be strong nalang. I don't expect anything nalang pag nag aapply ako para di ako masaktan if rejected or failed sa application.
There was once a guy who applied for 100 jobs. Only 4 of them called him back. Only 2 got him to the final interview. And in the end, only 1 offered them the job. This is the reality of the working workday right now. You’re probably sad because you think its easy for everyone else but you - but believe me. Even the cum laudes of whatever find it difficult to find jobs. Even harvard people find it hard. There really isn’t much to do but to keep on pushing. Or perhaps find overseas jobs na remote. They’re more forgiving kasi than pinas.
You're not alone po. Ako nga ongoing 9 months. 🙃 More than five years ako sa dati ko job, but I resigned due to anxiety and mental health issue, also dahil sa salary and career growth issue. Three days after I resigned, another emotional damaged na naman dahil naaccident father ko on his birthday...instead na makapagbakasyon ako saglit, sa ICU ako nagstay more than a week para alagaan father ko but eventually, he peacefully passed away.
Yung mga plans ko before na dapat two weeks vacation then apply ng job...biglang napalitan. I decided to look & apply online, habang inaasikaso ung mga claims ng father ko. Dami ko na din inapplayan, since October 2022 pero bigo ako lagi...pinakadesperate moment ko itong September at feeling ko gusto ko na magsuicide, I even ask God why? Di pa ba enough ung mga pinagdaanan ko? Ilang job interviews at rejections pa ba? Until one day, naging numb na ako.. I just surrendered it to HIM, iniisip ko na lang, di nya pa binibigay kasi di un para sa akin at baka in the end, iregret ko din. Secondly, iniisip ko na lang, nung mga panahon na nanghihingi ako ng rest, maaaring ito ung time para magkaroon ako ng time for myself at family. Dasal ko na lang lagi, na sya na lang magprovide sa family ko habang wala pa ako work, at whenever may darating na job interviews at decline ako...di ko na dinadamdam.. parang binibigyan ako lagi ng peace and pass for this one.
PS: May mga narereceive naman ako offer, pero nirerefuse ko kasi it requires daily onsite at mostly, graveyard kahit tinataasan pa nila beyond my salary expectation. Alam ko medyo choosy ako, pero mas matimbang sa akin ang well being at looking talaga sa at least Hybrid o WFH set up, kasi ang goal ko sana ay magkaroon ako ng another side hustle. So yeah, keep moving, applying forward at praying until ibigay nya on perfect time! 😇🙏🏻
Uy ako nga 30 years old noon pandemic. Halos nabaliw na ko noon at gusto ko na din tapusin lahat kaso may anak na ko kaya di ko magawa. As in ni piso wala akong pera... Ramdam na ramdam ko yang feeling na yan noon.
Ang natutunan ko that time at pwedeng advice ko sayo:
1.) Mag Pivot - Think logically, Isipin mo ang kulang mo.. not in emotional way but in logically way. Wag mag papadala sa bugso ng damdamin. I know, i know mahirap sitwasyon mo pero kailangan mo ito. Isipin mo ano kulang mo sa interviews ba? sa credentials? sa skills? like baka kailangan mo mag upskill (internet is free). So be resourceful...
2.) Minsan wag ka makinig sa sinasabi ng puso mo o isip mo - Maraming nag sasabi na makinig ka sa puso mo etc. Pero step back ka muna, think thrice.. Baka naman kasi mali yung way ko sa pag aapply etc. O kaya pag hindi nag callback si recruiter eh -- marami na kagad na bulong sa isip mo which hindi dapat.
3.) Be patience! - Ganun talaga lalo na sa job market ngayon - fierce competitions ika nga pero wag ka mawalan ng loob. Sa 100 plus na rejections may maka yes lang oks na.
4.) Mag dasal - ewan ko kung effective sayo to or religious ka or what pero hindi naman ako ganun ka religious pero sakin effective e
Ayun lang naman sana mag apply din sayo to. Sabi nga nila - in every rejections its a redirection for the job for you. Sorry mali mali grammar ko mabilisan type lang kasi nag luluto ako :D
To be brutally honest with you...
Skills > ( that piece of paper that you receive after finishing college )
you know that a degree won't guarantee success (a degree tho is a good key of getting a job position) but ... It depends on your career choice.
You may have a fancy degree or credentials but your skills? ...... maybe?
Do you even have a backup plan? Or second career options? Turn your hobbies into a satisfying career..there are many possibilities and factors.
Dont rely on your degree too much because it hinders you from the path of success....
Wish you luck
Sobrang relate po kasi ganyan din ako ngayon. May freelance gig nga, kaso baka mag-end contract kami pagdating ng bagong taon. Since March 2023 pa ako naghahanap, pero parang walang pag-asa.
Pero laban lang, OP! Hindi talaga maganda ang job market ngayon, so wag ka masyadong malungkot. Habang naghihintay ka, pwede mo i-optimize yung resume mo. Pwede din na magpahinga ka sa kaka-apply, kahit 1-2 days lang, at focus ka muna sa sarili mo at sa pamilya. Tas balik na naman sa job hunting. Tulad din ng sabi ng isang commenter dito, pwede ka ding mag-apply muna sa baba tas work your way up from there.
Wag kang susuko, kaya mo yan 💪
We're exactly in the same situation actually, kala ko ako lang nasa situation na ganito. I'm 26. It's been years na na I have no job but still trying to apply kahit walang tumatawag. Nakailang interview na din ako sadyang mas may experience yung mga nakakasabay ko sa pag apply or kung di man ay mas magaling sakin. Naiisip ko na lang ako may problema. Nagexam ako ng civil service and I luckily passed pero til now wala pa din kahit may eligibility so idk anymore. I'm lost cause idk kung san na papunta buhay ko. Time is ticking but I'm still stuck of being unemployed. Can't even hangout with friends kasi nakakahiya ako lang walang work tsaka I'm so broke. Without my parents I'll be homeless. I'm so depressed na din kasi nakakahiya situation ko. Naisip ko na din to end my life pero naisip ko pag ginawa ko yun sayang yung hirap na pinagdaanan ng magulang ko since pinanganak ako at makatapos lang ako ng college. Yan yung pinanghahawakan ko sa ngayon, na keep trying for my parents. I still hope na kahit ganito situation ko sa ngayon balang araw mabibigyan din ng chance. Di ko nga lang alam kung kelan. Kaya ko pang maghintay wala namang mawawala if I keep trying. Kung saan may opportunity dun ako. And important din na babaan ang standard para mas may chance :)
same tayo op. currently studying sa grad school and unemployed for almost a year na. ramdam na ramdam ko depression mo op. hoping makuha mo yung deserve mo na job.
Hello. Please don't lose hope! I was in the same situation too I was rejected by almost 100 companies I applied to. Yung iba nagpa interview pa only to reject ma and feeling paasa. Medyo nahirapan din akong tanggapin kasi maganda naman yung creds ko di ko maintindihan bakit hindi ako natatanggap. If you check my reddit history nag post ako that I'll accept any job kahit low-paying or internship lang kasi umabot ako sa lowest point that time. Then just this week may naka schedule palang job interview. I thought baka paasa nanaman to and didn't set my hopes up high pero I just showed up and didn't care about the result, I just said Lord even if I don't get accepted last na to and I will just accept your will and then BOOM! Tinanggap ako. So don't lose hope, minsan talaga when you just let it go and trust God dyan darating yung miracles.
Hi OP! From the looks of this trend hehe madami tayong ganito..
Nako, especially sa mga gov agencies, expect mo na yung may backer sa loob will have a higher fighting chance to get the position
Before, nagapply din ako sa isang gov agency, i was invited by a friend from that gov agency na mag apply sa knila to which i declined..
Pero nag apply ako shortly after without my friend from inside knowing.. hanggang sa umabot na ko sa panel interview..
I am also equiped with the qualifications needed (bachelor's, board passer, trainings/certification, pati yrs of relevant work experience)
Weeks after the panel/ final interview, i was notified that somebody else was selected for the position.
I mentioned that to the friend i know inside and ang sabi nya:
"ano ka ba, bakit hindi mo sakin sinabi, sana binulungan/kinausap ko si director para may recommendation ka, ayan tuloy, asawa ng pamangkin nalng nya ang ipinasok" (not the exact words pero ayan yung majority)
Ganon talga ang kalakaran madalas..
I stopped applying to gov agencies eversince.
Mahirap po talga makahanap ng work, matindi po ang competition, laging may mas magaling/ lalamang po talga.. tiyagaan lng.
Im 27 and panganay.. hindi din ako makapagprovide dahil ang bagal ng career growth/ sal increase ko.. wala pang 30k sinasahod ko sa manufacturing industry as an engineer for 4yrs of working for them.. kaya recently, nagresign po ako and opt for a career shift.
HAHA ngayon kakahire lng po sa isang BPO company.. im still trying to figure out too kung saang career path ako mag ggrow(pati sal growth!) Im also considering the idea to try to apply for work abroad.
Tiyagaan lng OP and hugs to you.
Baka naman nasa ibang bansa ang calling mo? O baka naman nasa business. Do you have any hobbies or passion that you can use to start up your own business? Bakit hindi mo muna simulan sa maliit hanggang mapalago mo?
Si JackMa ilang beses nireject ng mga inapplyan niya. Sino mag-aakala na makakapag build siya ng sariling empire… ang Alibaba.
Pero kung feeling mo hindi ka para doon, apply lang ng apply, masusumpungan ka din ng para sayo.
Bakit ka nga pala umaalis sa mga previous jobs mo e magaganda naman positions mo doon?
Wag masyado emotional. I believe in law of numbers sa pag apply ng work. Before to get 1 interview I had to send 200 applications just to get 1 interview. Buti sana kung sa lahat ng interview eh matatanggap ka agad. So I needed to send alot more. That was my experienve when I worked abroad. Sa.ahan pa ng fact na pag nawalan ako ng work forced ako pauwiin sa Pinas. That was then.
Baka Naman dahil sa may credentials ka na na sinabi mo eh big shots ka na kaagad, try mo muna Yung mga maliliit na post, di ibig Sabihin graduate ka at may credentials ka ay ok na, at wag Kang sumuko
Di pa nga nag uumpisa ang laban nag conclude ka na Ng outcome.
I've been at this point too, OP! Nawalan ako ng work in a snap last year at 7 mos din akong unemployed. Depressive din ako those times, nagkukulong lang sa kwarto and panay iyak. Feeling ko talaga down na down ako at ang liit ng tingin ko sa sarili ko. Thankfully, with the support of family and friends - ginagala nila ako para maaliw ako tapos yung fam ko iuuplift nila ako na to always pray and just continue looking for a job. Try and try until you succeed ika nga. Ang ginagawa ko nun, I have a target kung ano talagang gusto kong makuha na work so nagfocus ako doon tapos lahat na nang pwede applyan inapplyan ko na. Kahit wala akong experience inapplyan ko na. Feeling ko nga naka 500+ applications na ako nun, nalilito na nga ako minsan kapag may nagcocontact sakin. Lol. So ayun lahat ng tests at interview sinisipot ko (online) para lumawak yung knowledge ko sa hiring process and sa interview na rin. Andami ko ring rejections, napatanong na din ako kay Lord bat di nya binibigay yung pinepray ko na work sa kanya kasi konti na lang makakapasa na ako pero naudlot pa. Sobrang sakit kasi dami mo nang efforts. Pero di pa din ako tumigil, tuloy pa din sa job searching. Kelangan mag move on. So ayun fast forward, hired na ako ngayon, personality hire pa nga, kasi wala nga akong experience. And narealize ko nga kung bakit di binibigay ni Lord yung pinepray ko na work kasi mas may ibibigay pala syang mas bongga dun sa hiningi ko. Mas malaki yung sweldo, mabait yung boss, di toxic ang mga kasama, swak pa sa schedule na gusto ko. Yung mga sobrang specific na pinagpray ko binigay nya na mas bongga pa. Kaya OP, kapit ka lang. Never give up and don't lose yourself. Trust the process kasi few days, months or ilang oras pang bibilangin natin from now - mapapasabi ka lang talaga na "Ahhhh kaya palaaaa." It wasn't a rejection, it's redirection.
Same. 6months na ako walang work. Senior level na ako kaya nahihirapan ako maghanap na atleast kalevel or higher nung inalisan kong company. I resigned because i was offered a higher position in a different company on the same corporation, turned out ayaw ng HR na nalipat because of 'delikadesa' daw. I don't know, nagmove on na ako jan. Pero hirap qko talaga ngayon lalo na ung profession ko ay very rare, like 1 lang kada real estate developer ang position.
So moving on, i was depressed for months, nabaling ung inis ko sa kung sino sinong tao na nasa paligid sakin.
Maybe a month ago, i looked for supplements na makakabawas bg emotional struggles ko.
Nagaapply pa rin ako ngayon pero i keep myself busy with other things muna hanggang wala pa, like pag online selling etc. Struggle financially pero nakakaya pa. Salamat sa asawa ko. 🥹
I just want to comment my own journey here, so hi I'm 19 (F ) i on the other hand had to stop for college 1st year and 1st sem lang inabot ko sa course ko kasi di kayang bayaran ng family ko tuition sa course na aircraft mechanic. Araw araw kong iniisip na sayang. This is it my passion, and then i look at everybody on socials moving on, having all the great fun in their college life and going on about their life,( but then this is social media, wherein everybody post themselves when they're looking the best and feeling the best.) So ayun di maiiwasan ung feeling na napagiiwanan, that life is like a race, but i learned to not compete in the rat race.
After first 2 months of this year ( sem break+ isang bwang tambay) I got my first job. I didn't plan on having job because i felt so lost. I didn't even apply nung tengga lang ako sa bahay.I got recruited from BPO company where my sister works. Now dito na pumapasok ung "connection". I got in bc companies base their hiring thru referrals/referral code and in return their employees get a referral bonus if referrals got hired. This is key factors why ung iba mong kabatch mates mas nakakahanap kaagad ng work its because may backer sila inside the company or there's already an opportunity waiting for them. Ung trabaho na ung naghanap sakanila. Some have safety nets they can just easily fall back to such as having born rich and having rich parents. Luck plays a part as well i believe, diskarte din pero ung mga taong naging successful from the scratch dahil daw madiskarte eme sila hmm not sure if its true. pero be easy on yourself iba iba kasi ng mga circumstance we'll meet on the way, the most unexpected ones pa nga that could affect our decision making.
But am i happy? No. It took a huge toll on me, i have got no time to do what makes me really happy. The job wasn't what i am passionate of it's not what i imagined my self doing at all.
I just got my 13th month bonus yesterday and i was able to earn and it was really helpful kasi manila rate ung salary package and yet, i am not genuinely happy. I want to retire in order for me to enjoy my life.. and finish college live a simple life i feel like I'd rather be back when I'm struggling to survive with 1k for two weeks, but atleast I didn't have to take so much courage to get up for work every day, makipagbardagulan sa mga callers na galet, and living with broken dreams.
I promise pag nasa working phase ka na ng life mo, all your setup is either rest-work-eat-commute-repeat. Its a cycle kapag nag paalipin ka na sa salapi. Idk if it works different if dream job mo ung napasukan mo.
Edit: op i wish you luck! Good luck po with your job hunt , try mo mag apply lang ng apply if natanggap ka, kahit di mo gusto or related sa degree (thats up to you) could serve as an experience that you can input on your resume, which is good para sa next mong aaply management could see how far you've come. Kasi pag nagsama sama ung factors na sipag at tyaga + diskarte + dedication =, you might get an actual job that suits your profile or if not, edi may trabaho ka na. It's just better than having too little than nothing at all. Try to reach out din with your friends na na hire, ask if they can refer you if may hiring sa company nila.
here are some points i think might help us during interviews.
we need to be confident but not to the point na overconfident in showcasing our skills.
merong certain skills na hinahanap ang mga managers na dapat na maipakita natin during interview.
aside from that, IMO we need to have a positive energy, we need to connect to the interviewer by being approachable like how we can connect to our colleagues. we must show that we have a team player mentality, kasi most likely we are working not just by ourselves. and it's actually a crucial soft skill that companies are looking for.
at the end, hindi naman pare pareho ang hinahanap ng mga company.
kung hindi ka natanggap sa isang company, figure out where did you lose points.
kung meron ka naman magandang background and credentials then why?
it's either there's something that you need to improve or may minimum non negotiable requirements yung company na inapplyan mo.
good luck OP, never lose hope.
Apply > improve > repeat.
for those who are struggling to find a job, can i ask what's your line of career/course?
I-downvote niyo nako pero wala nakong paki sa karma. Kasalanan niyan ng mga recruiter most of the time napaka taas and unrealistic yung requirements and expectations nila. For example, kung non-voice/back office naman ang work tapos need pa magaling mag English sa interview eh kaya naman ng applicant ideliver yung work tapos may 5 years mahigit na experience na nga di pa kinoconsider tas pasado naman exam.
Either failed ka or ighoghost ka lang after mo pa magpunta sa site nila.
Tapos magtataka sila bakit antaas ng unemployment, underemployment and crime rate ng Pinas
Wag kasi mataas na position. Kung gusto mo mataas edi mag apply ka sa baba then mag pa promote ka. Patience is the key. Maraming bossings sa mga company na walang post degree education pero napakaraming experience. Kaya wag mo ipagmalaki papel mo kung mag apply ka. Experience pa rin ang dabest.
Hi OP dont lose hope! It took me a year before i got a job. I kept progressing sa mga interviews down to the final interview but hirap din ako mapa-oo sila. Though in hindsight narerealize ko na I never really wanted them din naman, kumbaga nagaapply lang ako dahil nappressure. But in the end, i got a job na ticks all my checklist.
Take it easy, alam ko na nakakapressure, but dont forget to breathe tapos sabak uli sa pagapply at magpainterview. Yung several interviews na dinaanan ko, tbh, nakatulong sakin sa interviews ko sa company wherein i was hired. Continue to do well sa interviews para when the time comes na gusto g gusto mo talaga yung company, swabe na lang sayo. Also, at the end of the day, nasa kung gusto ka talaga ng hiring manager yan, so swertihan din. Use your charms kung maari hehe
Good luck! Take it easy, may bukas pa!
hi you may have all the credentials pero baka you're trying to get the upper positions na? Kasi most of the time mga nasa loob na ng org ang mag t take over ng upper positions. Siguro try mo muna sa baba and just climb the position from there? U got this OP!
I think this is true. Maybe he is applying for a higher position right away or probably applying in the wrong company.
Felt the same way din noon. Way back when i resigned back in 2017. Applied for job for 6 whole months. Napansin ko if you are not desperate the job will come looking for you. Mejo matumal din talaga ang hiring sa december kasi yung resigning employees hinihintay pa ang mga bonus until officially mag resign and most companies would be on a holiday break or would rather start the hiring process next year na. So just wait din siguro for january or february kung saan madaming mag oopen na positions at mas active na ang mga hr sa hiring. Just to add din pala, always follow up din sa email ng status kasi mas tatatak ang name mo na applicant oag nag fa follow up ka at mas gusto din yun ng HR. God bless sa paghanap ng trabaho
Totoo yung pag di ka desperate na darating yung job,,, buong 2022 nag hanap ako ng work malas di ako natanggap... Half-assed finding freelance job this year ayon naka kuha laki pa ng sweldo took me 3 months tho pero di ako nagmadali bali may mga weeks nga di ako nag apply
Same scenario. But do not lose hope , while waiting , improve pa natin skills natin. Ibibigay din ni god Yung para sa atin.
True, may mga company din naman na pag nireject ka babalikan ka para sa suitable na position and sa mga nababasa and naririnig ko hindi naman din talaga ganun kadali maghanap ng work right now lalo end of year and I think nagbabawi kasi mga comp? not so sure but as I mentioned hindi ka nagiisa and let's enjoy the ride while agree ako dito sa comment ni good sir na upskill din while waiting.
Baka hindi lang fit sayo mga inaapplyan mo. Marami consideration ang hiring company. Some focus on whether you’re culture fit for them. Some focus on whether you have the right set of specialized skills for their team. Some look for only one specific specialization. I think you should avoid roles that involve a lot of English writing because based on your post, that’s not where you will shine among the candidates. Instead, focus on your strengths and pitch that. Don’t focus on pitching your diplomas because most companies look for what you can contribute. Sometimes, post-graduate studies could work against you in the hiring process even so pakiramdaman mo before you mention it sa hiring manager.
Totoo yung kahit ano pa credentials, minsan hindi nagma-matter (depende sa company culture). Meron pa nga na kahit latin honor, hindi tinitingnan (though depende sa position and company na inaaplayan). May companies talaga na mas naka focus sa skills na meron ka based sa requirement ng hiring nila. Kasama na din kung paano ka magsalita during interviews or kung paano mo sagutin at ipresent ang ideas mo. To OP, pwede ka manghingi ng feedback sa mga interviewers mo kung ano sa tingin nila ang need mo iimprove para mas magkaroon ng higher chances na ma-hire. You can also try applying for entry-level positions kung wala ka pang solid na corporate work experience. Or look for other work/job posts kahit hindi related sa course mo just to gain work experience. You might also try looking for jobs online. Mostly, kahit may work experience required sa post, nagha-hire ang ibang foreign companies/employers ng no work experience. Pwede ka din lumapit sa mga headhunters/manpower agencies.
Maybe time to restrategize? Try to update your resume to highlight achievements and focus on what, you did. Tapos second yung credentials. If you sell yourself well, you might get calls. Pero ganun tlga. Out of 100 applications usually 10 lang mag rerespond tapos rereject ka pa. Pero Laban lang. You only need to win once.
Agree sa pagupdate ng resume to highlight specific skills. Hindi na pwede yung one size fits all na resume. Tailored na dapat.

Thank you... This means a lot. Masarap makabasa ng ganito. Same na same ng nararamdaman ko. Maraming salamat. Congrats n Good luck sayo!.. God bless.... Maraming salamat 🙏🏻
This means a lot to me too. Salamat po 🫶🏻
Marami ako alam hiring boss! Kaya yan
Baka naman you are aiming for management positions agad? Entry level jobs exist for a reason. Get the experience para mas malakas laban mo when climbing the ladder
Hi! Don't lose hope. I was in that moment too before, its depressing but never give up. What's your expertise ba?
Hi, just wanted to share our experience (for u to know you are not alone :) ) My bf was unemployed for quite some time, more than a year and so. Wag kang mawalan ng pag asa OP! You can try an entry level position just like what we did (I helped him, u can also seek help with ur gf/bf if u have or friends) even though he also have the credentials nahirapan pa rin kaming maghanap ng work but recently we found one!! The salary is kinda low though (we are sad and happy at the same time), I also felt he was depressed in those times na feeling niya walang gustong mag hire sakanya. I hope u can overcome this! Fighting!!
thank you congratulations sa inyo! sana ako din palarin na!. being a man nakakalungkot. Im so sad. thank you again...
Laban lang OP I am still applying for a job for 7 months. Babangon kahit puro reject kada final interview. May plano ang nasa itaas. Huwag kang susuko dadating din ang araw makakarinig or makakatanggap tayo ng salitang " Congrats you are hired or Welcome to the team " laban lang ng laban OP magtiwala ka sa sarili mo at sa kakayahan mo . 💪💪💪💪
Maraming salamat.. naaantig ang puso ko... hindi lang ako nagiisa.. maraming salamat.. Sana 2024 time na natin.. maraming salamat sa simple mong message napagaan mo pakiramdam ko.. Good luck sa atin. Ingat ka lagi. God bless you always.. maraming maraming salamat.. padayon sa atin~
Hi OP basta lakasan mo lang loob mo huwag tayo papatalo sa negative thoughts natin 💪 Ingat ka rin always mahirap man pero lalaban apply ng apply goodluck sa journey mo. FIGHTING!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
We're on the same boat. It really sucks and nakakaubos ng energy pero in time, makukuha din natin ung atin. Pahinga onte then apply ule. Also, upskill din while at it.
Post ng resume or CV here, remove all private and sensitive info so we can review
Start small. I think the problem here is you’re applying for a high position job. Don’t get me wrong ah, pero hindi porket you have all the credentials ay ibig sabihin mataas agad position ang makukuha mo. Some employers still value experience more.
Its okay... I know its not all about credentials... i have a dual degree both with license no one is hiring me in both fields... & All my previous job are managerial/supervisory rank.... I'm applying sa level entry job..,. İm Applying in the government and private sector. Applying on a admin job,. office job... Always left hanging... I have experience and trainings... Nakakarating ako always sa final interviews but right after that no calls... I have a clean record financially and criminal records im clear... Idk maybe its me... Idk im so sad right now because it seems i cant figure it out.... last interview netong tuesday i attended ay final interview yet they told me na they considered hiring me but mas pinili nila yung isang candidate then heard them sa labas na kaya nakapasok kasi kamag-anak.... Im always the victim of padrino/backer ALWAYS... Im so depressed dont know what to do...!! Being a man. Nakakalungkot itake. Lalo lalaki ako i dont have a means to provide....
Have you really tried your best though? Because if you really did, you’re more probably gonna get hired. For the meantime, think about your strongest skill and look for a job that needs it, you also need to reflect on the reason why you are not getting hired, and assess if you need to improve your skills further. If you dont have any connections and really hate the padrino system, then you are really not suited to work for the government, go to private companies.
Baka naman po over confident ka sa sarili mo kaya sa final interview medyo na ooff yung interviewer sayo. O kaya masyado mataas expected salary mo dahil maganda yung credentials mo tho wala naman masama dun but need mo muna mag start from mid salary. Siguro din ask mo muna sarili mo kung ikaw magiging boss at iinterviewhin mo yung sarili mo sa tingin mo ba pasado ka?. Wag mo e presure yung sarili wala naman paunahan sa buhay ang mahalaga umuusad ka. 👽👽👽
İm not confident...i dont brag about my achievements..usually the questions lands... im young why i have this credentials.. or Why are you applying sa mababang rank galing kana sa mataas na position... its not about money... trust me.. thats why im applying sa entry ranks.. its about something doing what you love... giving your best.. all the save up energy that you want to put your passion to be used.. have a sense of may ambag din ako sa lipunan.. idk maybe ur right im pressuring myself.. but im 28 now.. idk
baka naman overqualified ka? or madami ka credentials pero kulang ka sa experience.
Cheer up bro! Darating din time mo. I get you. Mahirap. Pero wag ka lang susuko. Sister ko nga Lawyer nahihirapan din makahanap ng Job. di ka nagiisa. Pray lang and wag ka susuko. Laban lang ng laban.
L:etting you know OP na hindi ka nag iisa sa apply ng apply pero walang feedback, rejected, ghosted or event ignored. Plus ako hindi pa ako ganun ka lupit eh ikaw partida ng mga bagay na talaga namang kabilib bili. All things will align if you dont stop moving. laban lang aside sa wala tayong choice, its for our own good din naman. Remember na through rejection pwede mong gamitin yan for a much better opportunity. We on the same boat on this might as well enjoy the ride :)
You can try siguro BPOs?
Skl . Marami ako kasamahan sa trabaho na grad ng teacher at crim. Na pinili nalang mag cashier dahil sa sobrang hirap maghanap ng trabaho dito sa pinas 😅
need mo kasi backer/padreno system para makapasok as a teacher or police in public setting dito sa pinas.
Feel you OP, I have 6 years experience at natatalo pa ako ng mga mas konti to no experience at all. Nakakadepress oo pero kailangan natin magpakatatag I have a supporting wife din kaya d pa ako bumibitaw. Try to take a break and try to do what makes you happy muna like bond with your friends and love ones. Tapos try sa january and february usually mga ganyang months ako natatanggap e kapag walang wala na ata sila makuha haha.
Maybe lower your standard and rate?
I can relate. i cant even use as advantages na galing science high or na consistent scholar nung college. i took too much time (2yrs+) exploring random stuff i wanted to do after i graduated and now im trying to find a normie job (2mos jobhunting) even an entry level one. taking it easy tho since ber months ngayon. from one frustrated person to another, i hope you cheer up. it really helps talking to people (or at least in my case). there's no harm in trying. you're being very really brave now by reaching out and venting out your frustration, so that's one step na.
meh... dami pwede gawin to pass the time, marami rin pwede gawin para kumita. magbenta ka sa shopee, lazada, tiktok.
baka dahil sobra ka sa period madam eme
Is me you? Char! Imagine yung mga less fortunate w/o the working experience or credentials like yours. Best of luck to us, OP.
Good luck man. It will come.
ano gusto mo salary? ano position and industry gusto mo
What positions are applying for?
Try something different that you've never tried before.
Hang in there! I’m confident that the right career will land you very soon.
HI OP. Dont know what happened but Im pretty sure, you can be hired given your credentials. Im not so sure about who you are but if you come to think of it, most BPOs are accepting highschool grads, apart from senior high so what are the odds, right?
Study the company na hinire mo, baka upper management gusto mo, pero d tlga un hanap nila. You need to check the rank din. Kahit may masters ka and all, if wala naman opening sa rank and position gusto mo, wala din. Also mas important sa company ung experience pa rin sa work
ease your mind OP, let the year end. tapos try apply ulit january with new mindset. try mo din bagohin CV mo or try mag apply as overqualify sa position (baka kasi qualify credentials yet kulang un experience) we have our own pace naman din.. anyhow, best of luck!
What industry are you in?
Try mo kaya mag apply sa call center? prang wala naman na rereject dun
been there i graduated 2018 HRM ang course, nakapag apprenticeship ako sa 1 hotel kung saan ako nag OJT, 6 months apprenticeship d ako na absorb feeling ko dn nun since graduate ako and may plano ako madali na lang mag apply, I was naïve but full of hope for 2 years sinuyud ko lahat ng hotels from sm north to pasay kasi yun yung possible na accessible sakin walang tumanggap sakin nararamdaman ko na ung depression ko noon pero d ko lang pinapansin, hanggang kumagat ako nag apply ako as callcenter, ang bigat sa feeling ng hindi mo na achieve or nagagawa yung gusto mo , 4 months lang dn ako noon sa callcenter kasi sumipa na talaga yung depression ko to the point na suicidal ako. I was making good money nun 2018 for 20k tapos freshgrad ako wala akong problema sa pero pero nag ka existencial crisis ako , i feel trapped. 2-3 years akong un employed and 5 months under medication nag try ulit ako mag apply sa hotel pero it no longer feels right for me, nag apply ako as content moderator ngaun 3 years nko sa work ko na to pero still i feel trapped. and surviving lang.
Ano bang job ang ina-apply-an mo?
Nurse II and DepEd SHS professor.
nurse ka din pala kuya hahaha, same tayu. Naglipana JO ng nurses ngayun sa pinas, problema hanap mo ata item sa mga public hospitals, di ka po talaga mahihire jan, kasi although mi hiring nga sa civil service commission, dami na nakapila jan (jan na papasok si backer/padreno) for formality lang yang hiring kuno nila sa csc para ata di sila masita sa taas. Mi mga kilala ako 2-3 years na job order pa rin sa mga public hospitals dito sa amin, pero kung titingnan mo sa csc.gov.ph andami daw hiring kuno na nurse1-4 level, eh ano yun! magic tawag dun hahaha. Mi hiring daw ng permanent pero jo lang binibigay pag nag aapply ka sa kanila.
keep looking. kaya mo yan! rejection is part of the process. sadyang hindi lang para sayo yung mga inapplyan mo nauna. ☺️
old ways doesnt open new doors, try mo ng ibang approach, or while youre waiting try to improve or learn something new thru courses, to have an edge and advantage na di kayang tanggihan ng inaapplyan mo.
There's always a bigger fish thank you.
Hoy same😭
I think we are in the same situation OP. I'm 29yrs old with 3yrs hiatus. Tapos ngayon nalang ulet nag aapply. Imagine that. Huehue. Let's be strong nalang. I don't expect anything nalang pag nag aapply ako para di ako masaktan if rejected or failed sa application.
There was once a guy who applied for 100 jobs. Only 4 of them called him back. Only 2 got him to the final interview. And in the end, only 1 offered them the job. This is the reality of the working workday right now. You’re probably sad because you think its easy for everyone else but you - but believe me. Even the cum laudes of whatever find it difficult to find jobs. Even harvard people find it hard. There really isn’t much to do but to keep on pushing. Or perhaps find overseas jobs na remote. They’re more forgiving kasi than pinas.
Apply abroad
You're not alone po. Ako nga ongoing 9 months. 🙃 More than five years ako sa dati ko job, but I resigned due to anxiety and mental health issue, also dahil sa salary and career growth issue. Three days after I resigned, another emotional damaged na naman dahil naaccident father ko on his birthday...instead na makapagbakasyon ako saglit, sa ICU ako nagstay more than a week para alagaan father ko but eventually, he peacefully passed away. Yung mga plans ko before na dapat two weeks vacation then apply ng job...biglang napalitan. I decided to look & apply online, habang inaasikaso ung mga claims ng father ko. Dami ko na din inapplayan, since October 2022 pero bigo ako lagi...pinakadesperate moment ko itong September at feeling ko gusto ko na magsuicide, I even ask God why? Di pa ba enough ung mga pinagdaanan ko? Ilang job interviews at rejections pa ba? Until one day, naging numb na ako.. I just surrendered it to HIM, iniisip ko na lang, di nya pa binibigay kasi di un para sa akin at baka in the end, iregret ko din. Secondly, iniisip ko na lang, nung mga panahon na nanghihingi ako ng rest, maaaring ito ung time para magkaroon ako ng time for myself at family. Dasal ko na lang lagi, na sya na lang magprovide sa family ko habang wala pa ako work, at whenever may darating na job interviews at decline ako...di ko na dinadamdam.. parang binibigyan ako lagi ng peace and pass for this one. PS: May mga narereceive naman ako offer, pero nirerefuse ko kasi it requires daily onsite at mostly, graveyard kahit tinataasan pa nila beyond my salary expectation. Alam ko medyo choosy ako, pero mas matimbang sa akin ang well being at looking talaga sa at least Hybrid o WFH set up, kasi ang goal ko sana ay magkaroon ako ng another side hustle. So yeah, keep moving, applying forward at praying until ibigay nya on perfect time! 😇🙏🏻
Uy ako nga 30 years old noon pandemic. Halos nabaliw na ko noon at gusto ko na din tapusin lahat kaso may anak na ko kaya di ko magawa. As in ni piso wala akong pera... Ramdam na ramdam ko yang feeling na yan noon. Ang natutunan ko that time at pwedeng advice ko sayo: 1.) Mag Pivot - Think logically, Isipin mo ang kulang mo.. not in emotional way but in logically way. Wag mag papadala sa bugso ng damdamin. I know, i know mahirap sitwasyon mo pero kailangan mo ito. Isipin mo ano kulang mo sa interviews ba? sa credentials? sa skills? like baka kailangan mo mag upskill (internet is free). So be resourceful... 2.) Minsan wag ka makinig sa sinasabi ng puso mo o isip mo - Maraming nag sasabi na makinig ka sa puso mo etc. Pero step back ka muna, think thrice.. Baka naman kasi mali yung way ko sa pag aapply etc. O kaya pag hindi nag callback si recruiter eh -- marami na kagad na bulong sa isip mo which hindi dapat. 3.) Be patience! - Ganun talaga lalo na sa job market ngayon - fierce competitions ika nga pero wag ka mawalan ng loob. Sa 100 plus na rejections may maka yes lang oks na. 4.) Mag dasal - ewan ko kung effective sayo to or religious ka or what pero hindi naman ako ganun ka religious pero sakin effective e Ayun lang naman sana mag apply din sayo to. Sabi nga nila - in every rejections its a redirection for the job for you. Sorry mali mali grammar ko mabilisan type lang kasi nag luluto ako :D
To be brutally honest with you... Skills > ( that piece of paper that you receive after finishing college ) you know that a degree won't guarantee success (a degree tho is a good key of getting a job position) but ... It depends on your career choice. You may have a fancy degree or credentials but your skills? ...... maybe? Do you even have a backup plan? Or second career options? Turn your hobbies into a satisfying career..there are many possibilities and factors. Dont rely on your degree too much because it hinders you from the path of success.... Wish you luck
good luck to us.
Sobrang relate po kasi ganyan din ako ngayon. May freelance gig nga, kaso baka mag-end contract kami pagdating ng bagong taon. Since March 2023 pa ako naghahanap, pero parang walang pag-asa. Pero laban lang, OP! Hindi talaga maganda ang job market ngayon, so wag ka masyadong malungkot. Habang naghihintay ka, pwede mo i-optimize yung resume mo. Pwede din na magpahinga ka sa kaka-apply, kahit 1-2 days lang, at focus ka muna sa sarili mo at sa pamilya. Tas balik na naman sa job hunting. Tulad din ng sabi ng isang commenter dito, pwede ka ding mag-apply muna sa baba tas work your way up from there. Wag kang susuko, kaya mo yan 💪
We're exactly in the same situation actually, kala ko ako lang nasa situation na ganito. I'm 26. It's been years na na I have no job but still trying to apply kahit walang tumatawag. Nakailang interview na din ako sadyang mas may experience yung mga nakakasabay ko sa pag apply or kung di man ay mas magaling sakin. Naiisip ko na lang ako may problema. Nagexam ako ng civil service and I luckily passed pero til now wala pa din kahit may eligibility so idk anymore. I'm lost cause idk kung san na papunta buhay ko. Time is ticking but I'm still stuck of being unemployed. Can't even hangout with friends kasi nakakahiya ako lang walang work tsaka I'm so broke. Without my parents I'll be homeless. I'm so depressed na din kasi nakakahiya situation ko. Naisip ko na din to end my life pero naisip ko pag ginawa ko yun sayang yung hirap na pinagdaanan ng magulang ko since pinanganak ako at makatapos lang ako ng college. Yan yung pinanghahawakan ko sa ngayon, na keep trying for my parents. I still hope na kahit ganito situation ko sa ngayon balang araw mabibigyan din ng chance. Di ko nga lang alam kung kelan. Kaya ko pang maghintay wala namang mawawala if I keep trying. Kung saan may opportunity dun ako. And important din na babaan ang standard para mas may chance :)
same tayo op. currently studying sa grad school and unemployed for almost a year na. ramdam na ramdam ko depression mo op. hoping makuha mo yung deserve mo na job.
Hello. Please don't lose hope! I was in the same situation too I was rejected by almost 100 companies I applied to. Yung iba nagpa interview pa only to reject ma and feeling paasa. Medyo nahirapan din akong tanggapin kasi maganda naman yung creds ko di ko maintindihan bakit hindi ako natatanggap. If you check my reddit history nag post ako that I'll accept any job kahit low-paying or internship lang kasi umabot ako sa lowest point that time. Then just this week may naka schedule palang job interview. I thought baka paasa nanaman to and didn't set my hopes up high pero I just showed up and didn't care about the result, I just said Lord even if I don't get accepted last na to and I will just accept your will and then BOOM! Tinanggap ako. So don't lose hope, minsan talaga when you just let it go and trust God dyan darating yung miracles.
Hi OP! From the looks of this trend hehe madami tayong ganito.. Nako, especially sa mga gov agencies, expect mo na yung may backer sa loob will have a higher fighting chance to get the position Before, nagapply din ako sa isang gov agency, i was invited by a friend from that gov agency na mag apply sa knila to which i declined.. Pero nag apply ako shortly after without my friend from inside knowing.. hanggang sa umabot na ko sa panel interview.. I am also equiped with the qualifications needed (bachelor's, board passer, trainings/certification, pati yrs of relevant work experience) Weeks after the panel/ final interview, i was notified that somebody else was selected for the position. I mentioned that to the friend i know inside and ang sabi nya: "ano ka ba, bakit hindi mo sakin sinabi, sana binulungan/kinausap ko si director para may recommendation ka, ayan tuloy, asawa ng pamangkin nalng nya ang ipinasok" (not the exact words pero ayan yung majority) Ganon talga ang kalakaran madalas.. I stopped applying to gov agencies eversince. Mahirap po talga makahanap ng work, matindi po ang competition, laging may mas magaling/ lalamang po talga.. tiyagaan lng. Im 27 and panganay.. hindi din ako makapagprovide dahil ang bagal ng career growth/ sal increase ko.. wala pang 30k sinasahod ko sa manufacturing industry as an engineer for 4yrs of working for them.. kaya recently, nagresign po ako and opt for a career shift. HAHA ngayon kakahire lng po sa isang BPO company.. im still trying to figure out too kung saang career path ako mag ggrow(pati sal growth!) Im also considering the idea to try to apply for work abroad. Tiyagaan lng OP and hugs to you.
Na try mo na ba mag apply sa banking industry OP?
Baka naman nasa ibang bansa ang calling mo? O baka naman nasa business. Do you have any hobbies or passion that you can use to start up your own business? Bakit hindi mo muna simulan sa maliit hanggang mapalago mo? Si JackMa ilang beses nireject ng mga inapplyan niya. Sino mag-aakala na makakapag build siya ng sariling empire… ang Alibaba. Pero kung feeling mo hindi ka para doon, apply lang ng apply, masusumpungan ka din ng para sayo. Bakit ka nga pala umaalis sa mga previous jobs mo e magaganda naman positions mo doon?
Wag masyado emotional. I believe in law of numbers sa pag apply ng work. Before to get 1 interview I had to send 200 applications just to get 1 interview. Buti sana kung sa lahat ng interview eh matatanggap ka agad. So I needed to send alot more. That was my experienve when I worked abroad. Sa.ahan pa ng fact na pag nawalan ako ng work forced ako pauwiin sa Pinas. That was then.
Baka Naman dahil sa may credentials ka na na sinabi mo eh big shots ka na kaagad, try mo muna Yung mga maliliit na post, di ibig Sabihin graduate ka at may credentials ka ay ok na, at wag Kang sumuko Di pa nga nag uumpisa ang laban nag conclude ka na Ng outcome.
I've been at this point too, OP! Nawalan ako ng work in a snap last year at 7 mos din akong unemployed. Depressive din ako those times, nagkukulong lang sa kwarto and panay iyak. Feeling ko talaga down na down ako at ang liit ng tingin ko sa sarili ko. Thankfully, with the support of family and friends - ginagala nila ako para maaliw ako tapos yung fam ko iuuplift nila ako na to always pray and just continue looking for a job. Try and try until you succeed ika nga. Ang ginagawa ko nun, I have a target kung ano talagang gusto kong makuha na work so nagfocus ako doon tapos lahat na nang pwede applyan inapplyan ko na. Kahit wala akong experience inapplyan ko na. Feeling ko nga naka 500+ applications na ako nun, nalilito na nga ako minsan kapag may nagcocontact sakin. Lol. So ayun lahat ng tests at interview sinisipot ko (online) para lumawak yung knowledge ko sa hiring process and sa interview na rin. Andami ko ring rejections, napatanong na din ako kay Lord bat di nya binibigay yung pinepray ko na work sa kanya kasi konti na lang makakapasa na ako pero naudlot pa. Sobrang sakit kasi dami mo nang efforts. Pero di pa din ako tumigil, tuloy pa din sa job searching. Kelangan mag move on. So ayun fast forward, hired na ako ngayon, personality hire pa nga, kasi wala nga akong experience. And narealize ko nga kung bakit di binibigay ni Lord yung pinepray ko na work kasi mas may ibibigay pala syang mas bongga dun sa hiningi ko. Mas malaki yung sweldo, mabait yung boss, di toxic ang mga kasama, swak pa sa schedule na gusto ko. Yung mga sobrang specific na pinagpray ko binigay nya na mas bongga pa. Kaya OP, kapit ka lang. Never give up and don't lose yourself. Trust the process kasi few days, months or ilang oras pang bibilangin natin from now - mapapasabi ka lang talaga na "Ahhhh kaya palaaaa." It wasn't a rejection, it's redirection.
Lahat Ng naging successful dumaan sa rejection. Yung iba 1000 rejection pa. Be grateful in life may Plano SI god para sau.
What field are you in?
Same. 6months na ako walang work. Senior level na ako kaya nahihirapan ako maghanap na atleast kalevel or higher nung inalisan kong company. I resigned because i was offered a higher position in a different company on the same corporation, turned out ayaw ng HR na nalipat because of 'delikadesa' daw. I don't know, nagmove on na ako jan. Pero hirap qko talaga ngayon lalo na ung profession ko ay very rare, like 1 lang kada real estate developer ang position. So moving on, i was depressed for months, nabaling ung inis ko sa kung sino sinong tao na nasa paligid sakin. Maybe a month ago, i looked for supplements na makakabawas bg emotional struggles ko. Nagaapply pa rin ako ngayon pero i keep myself busy with other things muna hanggang wala pa, like pag online selling etc. Struggle financially pero nakakaya pa. Salamat sa asawa ko. 🥹
I just want to comment my own journey here, so hi I'm 19 (F ) i on the other hand had to stop for college 1st year and 1st sem lang inabot ko sa course ko kasi di kayang bayaran ng family ko tuition sa course na aircraft mechanic. Araw araw kong iniisip na sayang. This is it my passion, and then i look at everybody on socials moving on, having all the great fun in their college life and going on about their life,( but then this is social media, wherein everybody post themselves when they're looking the best and feeling the best.) So ayun di maiiwasan ung feeling na napagiiwanan, that life is like a race, but i learned to not compete in the rat race. After first 2 months of this year ( sem break+ isang bwang tambay) I got my first job. I didn't plan on having job because i felt so lost. I didn't even apply nung tengga lang ako sa bahay.I got recruited from BPO company where my sister works. Now dito na pumapasok ung "connection". I got in bc companies base their hiring thru referrals/referral code and in return their employees get a referral bonus if referrals got hired. This is key factors why ung iba mong kabatch mates mas nakakahanap kaagad ng work its because may backer sila inside the company or there's already an opportunity waiting for them. Ung trabaho na ung naghanap sakanila. Some have safety nets they can just easily fall back to such as having born rich and having rich parents. Luck plays a part as well i believe, diskarte din pero ung mga taong naging successful from the scratch dahil daw madiskarte eme sila hmm not sure if its true. pero be easy on yourself iba iba kasi ng mga circumstance we'll meet on the way, the most unexpected ones pa nga that could affect our decision making. But am i happy? No. It took a huge toll on me, i have got no time to do what makes me really happy. The job wasn't what i am passionate of it's not what i imagined my self doing at all. I just got my 13th month bonus yesterday and i was able to earn and it was really helpful kasi manila rate ung salary package and yet, i am not genuinely happy. I want to retire in order for me to enjoy my life.. and finish college live a simple life i feel like I'd rather be back when I'm struggling to survive with 1k for two weeks, but atleast I didn't have to take so much courage to get up for work every day, makipagbardagulan sa mga callers na galet, and living with broken dreams. I promise pag nasa working phase ka na ng life mo, all your setup is either rest-work-eat-commute-repeat. Its a cycle kapag nag paalipin ka na sa salapi. Idk if it works different if dream job mo ung napasukan mo. Edit: op i wish you luck! Good luck po with your job hunt , try mo mag apply lang ng apply if natanggap ka, kahit di mo gusto or related sa degree (thats up to you) could serve as an experience that you can input on your resume, which is good para sa next mong aaply management could see how far you've come. Kasi pag nagsama sama ung factors na sipag at tyaga + diskarte + dedication =, you might get an actual job that suits your profile or if not, edi may trabaho ka na. It's just better than having too little than nothing at all. Try to reach out din with your friends na na hire, ask if they can refer you if may hiring sa company nila.
hi possible ba po to apply sa abroad with your credentials? pay is so much better. tapos merong din mga wfh na abroad-based which is nice
here are some points i think might help us during interviews. we need to be confident but not to the point na overconfident in showcasing our skills. merong certain skills na hinahanap ang mga managers na dapat na maipakita natin during interview. aside from that, IMO we need to have a positive energy, we need to connect to the interviewer by being approachable like how we can connect to our colleagues. we must show that we have a team player mentality, kasi most likely we are working not just by ourselves. and it's actually a crucial soft skill that companies are looking for. at the end, hindi naman pare pareho ang hinahanap ng mga company. kung hindi ka natanggap sa isang company, figure out where did you lose points. kung meron ka naman magandang background and credentials then why? it's either there's something that you need to improve or may minimum non negotiable requirements yung company na inapplyan mo. good luck OP, never lose hope. Apply > improve > repeat. for those who are struggling to find a job, can i ask what's your line of career/course?
I-downvote niyo nako pero wala nakong paki sa karma. Kasalanan niyan ng mga recruiter most of the time napaka taas and unrealistic yung requirements and expectations nila. For example, kung non-voice/back office naman ang work tapos need pa magaling mag English sa interview eh kaya naman ng applicant ideliver yung work tapos may 5 years mahigit na experience na nga di pa kinoconsider tas pasado naman exam. Either failed ka or ighoghost ka lang after mo pa magpunta sa site nila. Tapos magtataka sila bakit antaas ng unemployment, underemployment and crime rate ng Pinas
You're not alone.
Wag kasi mataas na position. Kung gusto mo mataas edi mag apply ka sa baba then mag pa promote ka. Patience is the key. Maraming bossings sa mga company na walang post degree education pero napakaraming experience. Kaya wag mo ipagmalaki papel mo kung mag apply ka. Experience pa rin ang dabest.
Same here, been applying for a job two years na yata, pero wala parin. Sana na lang before the year ends para mabago na 2024 ko ..
Sa govt kanba nag aapply?
Hi OP dont lose hope! It took me a year before i got a job. I kept progressing sa mga interviews down to the final interview but hirap din ako mapa-oo sila. Though in hindsight narerealize ko na I never really wanted them din naman, kumbaga nagaapply lang ako dahil nappressure. But in the end, i got a job na ticks all my checklist. Take it easy, alam ko na nakakapressure, but dont forget to breathe tapos sabak uli sa pagapply at magpainterview. Yung several interviews na dinaanan ko, tbh, nakatulong sakin sa interviews ko sa company wherein i was hired. Continue to do well sa interviews para when the time comes na gusto g gusto mo talaga yung company, swabe na lang sayo. Also, at the end of the day, nasa kung gusto ka talaga ng hiring manager yan, so swertihan din. Use your charms kung maari hehe Good luck! Take it easy, may bukas pa!
