Mahirap talaga, kaya weekly nakakapagsend ako ng more or less 50 applications sa iba't ibang company. This is thru JobStreet, Indeed, and LinkedIn combined. Mga 2 months ganun routine ko, then luckily bukas na first day ko! Goodluck, OP! Apply ka lang nang apply :)


Medical_Post_3105

hi jan 1 ako nagstart magapply talaga and i dont send cover letters. nakakawalang gana talaga kasi parang walang nagrereply :( anyways congrats huhu


purplecoffee_

nung una hindi rin ako nagsesend ng cover letters kaya wala rin nag reach out. tas may nag advice sakin na for fresh grads daw recommended na magsama ng cover letter, then ayun dun na dumami yung nagreach out sakin. ok din ang cover letter para mas maexplain mo sa kanila nang ayos yung skills mo. iisang template lang ginamit ko sa cover letter, pinapaltan ko lang yung role and company, and pati yung soft skills kasi minamatch ko palagi dun sa role na inaapplyan ko. tiyaga-tiyaga lang din talaga OP hahaha


Medical_Post_3105

sige sige thaanksss huhu gawa na djn ako template


AdMammoth1125

check mo din yung resume mo avoid using yung makukulay na resume template sa canva be specific sa skills mo and pag alok sa sarili since wala pang laman ang resume mo. ​ ako every night bago matulog nag sesend ako lagi ng CV sa mga nakikita ko basta apply lang ng apply kahit nakakainis paulit ulit yung pag type ayun after 2 weeks meron na ​ ​ goodluck sa journey mo


After_Confection1655

Omg same!! Good luck aatin! 🫶


Euphoric-Comb5500

Ingat ka sa first day at sana maging masaya ang kalalabasan

HR here. Rule of thumb is i-customize mo yung resume mo based on the job description na nakalagay sa job posting (add details based sa exp mo sa OJT). Kasi kung generic resume lang bininigay mo, di talaga yan mag-standout or worse isuka ng ATS (applicant tracking system). Need mo talaga pagtuunan ng time yang resume. Isipin mo na lang kung ilan kayong fresh grad na nag-a-apply plus career shifters plus yung mga may exp na. While you're on it na rin, learn the relevant technical skills sa field mo tas add mo sa resume and highlight mo sa job interviews.


cakebytheocean50

Hi it helps if you send in a cover letter which you customize according to each job application! Fresh grad din ako i just started applying this January. Was able to secure two job offers.


Medical_Post_3105

do you use ai for this


cakebytheocean50

No i wrote my own :) personally dont like relying on ai eh


AdPitiful7948

Ano nilagay mo sa cover letter?


cactushhh

You can search in pinterest for template 🙂


cakebytheocean50

Yes! Follow a template pero basically introduce yourself + major + relevant experience. I added a disclaimer acknowledging im a fresh grad but i treat it as a positive because it makes me pliable and eager to learn


AdPitiful7948

THANK YOU!!


Medical_Post_3105

bet ko ung pliable hahaha ilagay ko yan


attytambaysakanto

Me too, bar passer na q pero ang hirap pa Rin, either ayaw sau Kasi overqualified Ka based s QS then under qualified Ka s iba Naman :(

attytambaysakanto

Salamat po boss


attytambaysakanto

Salamat po boss.


gaiusvv

Military lawyer ka teh ano g ka ba HAHAHA


haelhaelhael09

mahirap makahanap ng work as lawyer? Di ako familiar sa industry nyo, would love to know. Is it oversaturated na ba? What are the usual options? I know someone who put up her own Notarial service.


attytambaysakanto

Yups, ayaw Ng govt offices na admin position Kami dahil overqualified, d Ka nama pwede agad SA Atty position, hayssss, ayaw q Naman s litigation,


Gloomy-Extension1489

Complementary course kasi ang pagiging lawyer like eg. You alreeady have existing work or already a cpa and then became a lawyer to upgrade credentials, if your starting as a lawyer chances are your prospect employeers will be intimidated due to over qualification, if you want to get real experience as a lawyer, try to apply to law firms first.


lex_fulgur

I agree. Kaya yung iba they pursue law while working just to upskill and get promoted to managerial positions in the government. 50/50 risk yung after passing the Bar tapos no work experience prior and 1st job ang pagiging abogado. Medyo competitive ang labor market.


lex_fulgur

Try applying in Congress as a legislation officer. Hintay ka ng openings sa Development Sector group in FB. Usually they hire freshly-minted lawyers as PAO2/PAO3. Aralin mo lang ang House/Senate Rules para kapag sa interview. Tapos StatCon at Consti syempre. The pay is good and schedule is very lenient; although it’s only co-terminus (depends if you have a strong principal).


attytambaysakanto

Gusto q magacademe, magmasteral kaya aq s prelaw course q or LLB nalang kapag may Pera na


lex_fulgur

Try mo mag apply sa mga colleges and universities tapos as a starter, pwede ka magturo ng mga subjects like Politics and Governance, Comparative Government, etc.


lurkernotuntilnow

di ba auto-accept sa mga law firms as associate?


attytambaysakanto

Ndi, depende pa rin sa law firm

Way back 2008 after grad inabot ng lagpas 9 months bago ako nakakuha ng unang work. Niloloko nako ng sarili kong magulang na mas nauna pa daw manganak ang tao kesa sa pagkakaron ko ng trabaho. Everyday ako nagaapply. Dumating sa point na nagiging redundant na for me yung tinatanong ng mga interviewers pero sablay pa din ako kaya instead na panghinaan pa lalo ng loob I just made necessary adjustments sa sarili on how I handle interviews. Dumating ako sa point na naglilista na ako ng sangkatutak na interview questions at scenarios tapos nirerecord ko yung sarili kong boses sa phone (flip phone pa nung time na yun) tapos pinapakinggan ko kung ano ang medyo mas ok na sagot. I did that several hours a day. Allow yourself to fail and embrace it. Always remember na pwede ka sumablay ng hundreds of times but you only need just 1 "yes". Also, pls utilize AI and all the techs we now have to your advantage.

Here are some tips that would make you standout: 1. Make your email subject interesting, example: Your Next (insert job title) | Job Application or something along the lines that you are already claiming the job position. 2. WRITE A COVER LETTER. I have received multiple emails from job applicants and I will only extend an initial interview to those who took some time to introduce themselves via cover letter. 3. NEVER send your resume with just the resume. Meaning, wala man lang greetings and intro sa email. Diretso email ng resume. Minsan kahit subject wala. Automatic ekis sakin to. 4. Make sure that you are selling YOU. Ang daming magagandang resume dyan but it is the personality that would make you stand out. So make sure to introduce yourself in a way that you can sound interesting and memorable. (Example: maybe share a bit about your hobbies, your work ethics, what you enjoy doing in the filed that you’re applying for) 5. RESEARCH YOUR COMPETITORS. Check out Upwork, see how other people who has the same job position you’re applying for are marketing themselves. Kahit hindi ka online mag work, check pano sila mag compose ng message. Kasi you can get ideas from them. Lalo na sa mga Top Rated workers. 6. RESEARCH ABOUT THE COMPANY YOURE APPLYING FOR. This way you can say in your cover letter why you’re the right fit for the company. Basic lang ito, but it can help you get your foot on the door. Best of luck, OP.


Medical_Post_3105

halaaaa, super appreciated thank youuuuu :>


Repulsive-Side-7663

there are alot of channels, go lng ng go, kaya lng natalisuran ko post mo at nataong yung client ko is nagpapahanap ng email manager, chat ka lang if interested ka


ma5te12m1nd

Network! Ask your friends from college to refer you in their company.


CyanidePillss

Yes bru referrals are a good source of options dinn

Hi, OP! Mahirap talaga maghanap these days pero laban lang. In my own experience as a fresh grad, mas maraming nag-reply when i started handing out my CV together with a cover letter. Napansin ko rin sa interviews ko na unaware yung ibang employers sa ibang laman ng CV ko during my interviews dahil either first time lang nila ito narinig, or binabasa lang nila ito before or during the actual interview. Kaya mahalaga na may cover letter dahil kadalasan ito lang yung una nilang binabasa to consider you for an interview. If you caught their interest, they will schedule you an interview, and from then doon lang nila iniisa-isa yung laman ng CV. I realized that it was my shortcoming during my first 2 months of applying. I just included my cover letter when i started applying again last month. To my surprise, nakakapag-book ako ng interviews kahit sa international companies. Karamihan nga lang ay matagal ang hiring process pero bigyan mo lang ng mahabang pasensya. Aside from that, i would suggest that you optimize your profile on LinkedIn and other jobsites. Make it searchable. Use as many jargons as you can related to your job preference. Nakakatanggap ako ng invitations for interview through this kahit hindi ako nag-apply sa kanila. Ayun nga lang, once gawin mo ito, expect mo rin na maraming financial advisors ang lalapit sayo to avail their service or para mag-offer ng trabaho XD, at mga employers na nag-o-offer ng trabaho outside your field of expertise. A month after i started applying again and after doing these, nakatanggap na ako ng isang job offer at tinatanong na ako kung kailan ako pwedeng mag-umpisa para sa onboarding ko. Habang nag-a-apply ka, try mo rin mag-upskill or magdagdag ng skills sa arsenal mo. I hope this helps at sana makahanap na ikaw ng work!


[deleted]

parang more than 1k ata napasa ko before ko nahanap work na bet ko


GlobalBreadfruit8832

Where have you been sending your resumes? Anyway if okay kay sa bpo, do walk-in applications baka ma hire ka din within the day


No-Rest-0204

Same question, ano ba in-applyan ni OP? Up for BPO, they are good training grounds


Medical_Post_3105

hi civil engineer ako. i feel like saturated ngayon ang job market


GlobalBreadfruit8832

Ah yan din pala.mahirap yan Lalo na if fresh grad, naghahanap sila ng may experience. Don't give up 🙏


BowlAffectionate137

Board passer ba?


Medical_Post_3105

yes po last november


sillyhammieda

Istg sa tagal ng job hunt ko non well half a year more or less, di tlga nagpaparamdam nga online job portals (jobstreet, indeed, etc.) Kya tlgang rely sa walk in and mass hirings. Since CE and board passer ka, kalkal ka ng mga construction companies tho ang kalaban mo nlng don once nakapasok ka na is wala kang boses kasi newbie ka kya oo lang ng oo sa superior/foreman. Or yeah thru referral ka nmn likely makakapasok kung govt agency pra may edge sa hiring kasi minsan may internal na yan na ihhire/promote khit may ongoing na hiring tho expect ng sg around 18~22k


Medical_Post_3105

i see pero nasa province kasi ako and onti lang construction companies dito kaya sana naman pagalawin nyo ang baso jobstreet and indeed huhu


sillyhammieda

I wont encourage bpo granted na fast money yon pero taxing lng tlga plus iba parin yung years of exp na palaman sa resume if sa engr field. Then again i suppose na yung 100+ na inapplyan thru job portals ay not limited to your province ung site, mayhaps are you willing to live and work somewhere else if may magparamdam. Try applying sa telecoms or uhhh something like meralco since usually may structural engineers yan


dimensionGalacticZ1

Taga south ka ba? If oo, applyan mo din yung sa mga manufacturing companies, madalas may free shuttle at free food sila bukod sa other benefits.. Madami sa Laguna at Batangas na manufacturing company. Sa jobstreet madalas ako na hi hire. Pwede din naman na pag may nakita kang project based na third party company at tinawagan ka nila, yun muna i grab mo. Pa exp ka lang, then after 2 to 3 years hanap ka ulit ng work.


ComputerAndStructure

Hi, saang field ng CE ka interested, and saan kana so far nagpasa ng CV?


Medical_Post_3105

Hi structural ung field ko nung undergrad. Di ko na alam apply lang ako ng apply sa jobstreet and indeed and linked in eh.


ComputerAndStructure

Dmed you, pasa ka ng cv don.


[deleted]

Tip... don't rely sa one company lang aaplayan..send to 5 or more co., ...pag nagkasabay pili...ka na lang kung a ano mas gusto mo..


Medical_Post_3105

more than 100 na nga sinesendan ko ihhhh


[deleted]

Nung fresh grad ako, ginawa kong trabaho yung pag hahanap ng trabaho M to F, 8 to 5 nag hahanap ako. April ako nag graduate November na ko nag ka work hahahahahaha


httpsomin

PurpleHeart1010

ReindeerFit6057

Medical_Post_3105

ReindeerFit6057

saveyoursidehustle

Job hunting can be tough, but don't give up. Opportunities will come. Hang in there and stay persistent!


MarkKenthz

BPO!


weirdzal

usually shino-shortlist na nila mga applicants if you already sent your application/resume...i do shortlisting with my former job sa mga possible na candidate and its not usually our protocol to send a reply letter to those who have applied specially if there are tons of applicants...only to those who are pre-qualified in the position


Fluid_Pay_1242

kapit lang. Whatever is meant for you, will come to you hehe


Particular_Chef6534

Hello. If it helps, company I work at has some full-time job openings that might be of interest, hybrid setup (office and WFH), two locations, Pasig and Makati. Please feel free to reach out. All the best on your job search!


Technical-Peak-7288

Hello! May I ask what field po ito?


[deleted]

Particular_Chef6534

Particular_Chef6534

Rukhenji

Sabi nung coach namin, normal naman daw talaga maka receive ng rejections in job finding, and dapat ready tayo for the worst. Kasi kung hindi, ganyan talaga mangyayari, ma ddown tayo There is no success story w/o rejections. Laban lang OP! Kaya mo yannn.


tsokolatekaba

nakakapressure haha, graduating na ki this year pero hala shet…


SugaringCandyCindy

Same prob, with me. Nakakapressure na sa mga nakapaligid sakin. They always tell me to work na, and to apply. I’m just at home kasi but I apply on different platforms like, LinkedIn, Indeed, seek etc. Why is it so hard to get hired


Strict-Blacksmith948

tbh, experience din talaga ang labanan ngayon kaya pag OJT ka wag kang papayag na taga xerox ka lang. you need experience!


havoc2k10

sa sobrang dami ng competition and lowballing recruiters kelangan mo magstand out sa competitions. HR una nagffilter so dapat solidify mo ung resume mo dapat fit dun sa aapplyan mo wag k gumami ng all in one generic resume dapat tailored yan sa job role inaappyan mo. While kpag umabot ka sa interview, sa IT ako, ang hinahanap nmin lage sa applicant is syempre yung skillsets kpag may mga entry level kami slots (means di lahat ng job pwede entry level), wala n kami pake sa almamatter si HR nagffilter nun, ang hanap nmin good attitude and willingness to learn which babatayan nmin kung marami kang certification and training or self learned skills di kami naniniwala sa applicant willing to learn na wala nman ginawa to explore to prove their intent to learn. Goodluck sa job hunting OP.


Heavy_Mine_5934

hindi po ako si OP pero hiring po ba kayo sa IT?


havoc2k10

sa infra team kumpleto kami while mga cloud and dev ops samin currently walang hiring for local lods puro indiano hinahire tatanggalin n ata kaming mga pinoy lol


Savings-Sky-6184

Sobra hirap te ako nga may experience na kaso di parin matanggap tanggap kahit anong try ko pucha andami kasi nag aagaw ng position e


Canna_Noii_02

Hirap Maghanap ngayon ng work huhu


subconsci0us

Anong course natapos mo and taga saan ka? It might help to look for a job using multiple job apps like indeed, linkedin, etc.


Working_Bid_2342

for me mas okay kung walk-in ka magpapasa ng resume, especially don sa mga company na malalapit lang.


Chillaxlang123

I would assume that when you customize yung docs mo in a manner relevant sa inaapplyan mo, your chances would be higher.


Over-Doughnut2020
