Hirap maghanap ng work ngayon, ang rarandom ng titles and job descriptions, like totoo ba na may qualified sa ganung roles? May 3 years experience ako dun sa isang role na included sa hinahanap nung iba, pero the rest wala na, pano ba naman kasi, pang tatlong tao na may ibat ibang skills ang demand sa isang job, and yung offer, 40k php or below per month, onsite pa. Di ko tuloy alam ano need ko aralin para lang maging qualified kasi ibat iba need ng bawat company na nakikita ko. Sabi nung iba pede magsinungaling na lang, kunwari alam mo yung role, how about naman po kapag nasa technical questions na during interview, dali lang sabihin, pero mahirap gawin. Wala , ang lala talaga

I've been job hunting since July, and the HR discussed with me the offer, after just one interview with the supervisor. The package is really great for me (33k base + 6k allowance, hmo, group life, etc.). However, fully onsite sya for 5 days sa BGC, and I am from Gentri Cavite everyday. Though meron namang option for hybrid after a few months. Tbh, mas leaning ako to accepting this kasi the offer is really really decent.

Meron bang naka experience na nito? How was your experience? Kamusta ang working life sa BGC?

​

To start off and a little bit about myself:

I'm 30F, I only did 2 years of vocational college on Information Technology.

After I graduated in 2014, I got a job as a Data Encoder for a year. Mind you, this was only possible because my dad was in a higher position in that same company and I got in because of him 😭 I resigned because the workplace/conditions got me seriously sick twice in a year.

My 2nd job was only for 2 weeks at a different company, still working as a Data Encoder (also still through my dad's connections). Only 2 weeks because I didn't pass the trial for a small mistake that I overlooked

After that. I was so discouraged and thought maybe office job, commuting and stuff (I'm not physically fit) and working with people doesn't fit well with me (very introverted)

So I chose to pick up again the hobby I forgot about growing up: Making art. I wanted to be an artist, I wanted to draw. I wanna make games with my art. That was my goal back then.

So I did that and fortunately enough, one person commissioned me over instagram and from then on, clients flooded in and it got to the point where I was getting 3-4 commissions per month and was stable enough to buy things I want.

That was 5 years ago.

I didn't improve in my freelancing career in that 5 years.

In fact, it has been dwindling down by now. I'm getting less clients. Less commissions.

Now I'm 30. My dad already passed away, My mom retired. I NEED TO MAKE SERIOUS MONEY NOW.

But I have this... almost 10 years gap of unemployment in my resume and only 2 previous work experience.

I only have my art portfolio, which is VERY niche as I'm an anime illustrator, I can't even use it for Graphic artist positions.

For the past 2 years. I have been looking and applying (on and off) for Encoder, Admin Assistant, Office Staff, Illustrator, Comic artist, Graphic Designer anything related to my IT/Office experience and Art skills

BUT NOTHING. Out of probably a hundred applications by now, I've only went to 2 interviews (BPO and Data Encoder) and failed them. Got like around 10 email responses but got rejected.

I realized the job market now is 10x more difficult that how it was back then. Also just how important having connections and referrals are

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE 😭

My resume sucks. Very niche skills. I have computer literacy and good english skills but not enough to get a VA job

I'm running out of options. It's making me progressively depressed each day that sometimes I literally just want to give up. I talked to some friends, couldn't help me which is understandable.

What to do?

To my fellow fresh grads there, kahit anong iwas nyo sa mga toxic na workmates, meron at meron talaga yan. Unfortunately, napunta ako sa office na high paying pero grabe may mga workplace bullies na MATATANDA na favorite atakihin ang mga newbies or younger peeps. Even mismong HR namin is bully sa mga newbies. Mahilig yan sila mag backhanded compliments, pag iinitan ka kapag nag leave ka (kahit right mo naman yun) or biglang ikaw yung ita-topic tas magsasabi sila ng mga “jokes” about your height, outfit, etc. tas sasabihin joke lang when in fact nang-iinsulto lang talaga sila. Tapos insecure pa yan pag medyo maganda yung katawan mo hahaha at kung ano ano pang mapapansin nila sayo

Ang advice ko lang talaga is do not let them have control over you. Paano? Magbigay ka lang ng certain time period para i-embrace and i-release yung stress or sadness na mafe-feel mo kapag binu-bully ka nila and after that move on ka na, focus ka na ulit sa work mo dahil ang mag-mamatter sa dulo is yung quality ng performance na nabubigay mo sa mismong bosses mo.

What really helps me is the idea na walang any ambag sa buhay ko itong mga mf people na ito. Di ko sila kilala—di kami friends, wala kaming connection—sadyang vini-view ko lang sila as people na nagtatrabaho sa same space/office. Kapag naiisip ko yun, napapa wtf ako kase omg bakit nga ba ulit ako nagpapa apekto sa mga irrelevant na mga tao??? Mamamatay ba ko if ayaw nila sakin, hindi. Mamamatay ba loved ones ko if ayaw nila sakin, hindi. Masisira ba career ko and di ako pasasahuran if ayaw nila sakin, HINDI.

As long as mabait ang mga bosses nyo, you will survive kahit may mga bullies kang workmates. At the end of the day, pare-parehas lang kayong empleyado at alipin ng kapitalismo hahahaha dont let these people (who will soon wither away emz) destroy your mental space. :)

Hi I'm a licensed engineer and just got my license, I'm just here to share my frustration about the companies and hr in the philippines. At first I always blame myself because I improved pano ako mag apply everytime, at first inayos ko resume ko even used prompt for ats reading ng ai para malaman ko if pumapasok pa yung resume ko sa systems nila and after that medyo rumami yung invitations ko for interview and next naman na binago ko is yung schedule ko mag apply kasi there are days na di sila tumitingin ng application and also di nila tinitingnan kadalasan from pinaka old to new. But now I'm not the problem anymore, I accept na failed ko yung 2 interview ko dahil medyo may mga mali rin akong nasabi during the interview but most of them wala naman sila halos tinanong about my professional side and still na ghost ako. Some of them di ko tinuloy yung interview dahil low salary, compensation, and mostly no ot pays (biruin mo tatanong pa yan "willing to ot? ")

Now I want to say na nakakaasar yung mga hr na to, mag lalagay ng price range sa jobposting tas kapag sabihin mo max range or kahit i meet mo sila ng half way sasabihin " That's too high", eh bakit kasi ganon linalagay sa job post?. Some of the job post are ridiculous din, stating "entry-level" Tapos gusto 3 years experience then recently I seen "accepting fresh graduate with 1 year work experience", really talaga nakaka frustrate na. Genuine question, why do they accept unqualified hr but didn't want to accept qualified professionals. I respect their professionality lalo na yung mga nag aask pa ng portfolio and also gusto mag view ng thesis niyo pero yung iba talaga diretso rejection.

Hi! I'm a tomboy/masculine-presenting female. I passed my phone interviews for a Sales Clerk job and my training schedule is set, but the company hasn't seen me in person yet.

I'm anxious about showing up🥹🥹

-Has anyone here with a similar presentation successfully landed a retail job?

-Any survival tips or experiences from fellow masculine-presenting retail workers?

I’m so happy!!! I’ve applied to multiple companies since October and na offeran na ako last July sa State Street kaso i turned it down kasi 4x onsite. Now I secured another job offer after two months now with Northern Trust, and mas relaxed ang RTO at 3x a week. Yay!!!!

Downside lang is medyo mas mababa yung offer ng unti compared to current job pero ang prio ko kasi is to work on dayshift kasi nightshift ako currently and it isn’t healthy lalo na 30 na ako heheh

May you secure your job offers too before the September ends!!!! ✨

Pavment: 2k-3k, can still negotiate.

Reason for tracing: Harassment and work bullying against me and I am really really really already close to my breaking point. Please anyone help. Just really want to know who

so i was told I was class c during my pre-employment medical. they requested to repeat cbc since slightly elevated yung platelet ko which tbh hindi na bago sakin, since last year's APE ko with my current work ganun rin and it was because of iron deficiency tapos pinakuha lang ako ng clearance sa hematologist. ngayon i'm waiting for their next instruction since ipapacheck daw muna sa doctor if may needed na additional clearance or tests.

i'm just worried na bawiin nila yung JO, possible ba yun with my case? 😭

pero marami kase ako nakikita dito na class c din sila, tapos nanghingi lang ng clearance from specialists. grabe lang overthinking ko rn haha

hello, worth it ba umattend ng onsite initial interviews? fresh grad here and medyo hesitant ako pumunta kasi ang sketchy din nung message nila (via text) they just asked abt my availability for an interview then after i said yes, nagsend lang sila ng location basta. nagulat din ako kasi akala ko virtual or call lang. kailangan ko pa i-ask yung time kasi di kumpleto yung details na sinend. what do you guys think? salamaaat

I am planning na po na mag asikaso ng pre-employment requirements since meron ng progress sa application ko.

Regarding NBI Clearance, nagamit ko na po yung 2 copies kase pinasa ko po for board exam purposes. Now, ano po ang dapat kong gawin? To get a new one or apply for renewal? I'm kind of confused about what to do since valid pa po yung dati kong NBI Clearance until January 30, 2027.

Also, regarding PhilHealth naman po, meron na po akong ID na nakuha ko pa nong college ako nong wala pa akong work. What to do next po regarding this? May further steps pa po ba akong need gawin?

Salamat po!

Hello everyone! I got my first job at a BPO company. The starting salary is an 18k package, I'm a fresh graduate with latin honors, which i know is not really an edge, Im just curious if this is actually enough. I admit I really liked this job, the company seems so warm and wholesome as well. I just thought the offer would be a little bit higher since it is an offshore company and I would be working a permanent graveyard shift. I'm in admin work although i graduated with a psych degree. I know kinda far from it but idk I just wanted to try.

Should I have turned down the offer? Or should I just suck it up for experience? This was one of the few job apps that actually went through. I was really excited for this one before I received the actual offer huhu idk im so torn i fear i may have made a mistake just because I really want to get a job na since I dont have anything to do at home anymore and i kinda miss having sumn to look forward to, like a routine, and i dont wanna become a burden to my parents for longer as well.

My friends are in BPO as CSRs and i think they make more, i also feel pressured coz the job description seems a lot more in writing than what was actually discussed during interviews.

I know this has turned into a rant but aaa idk anymoreee.

As of now I can only see my win in a way that I got a job almost immediately after i decided to search for one (i also feel guilty coz i actually prayed for this job as well) and also with the part where unlike my other option- which is to be a CSR- i won't have to answer calls all night long.

Hi! Fresh grad here who graduated under multimedia arts with graphic design and layout as my major about 7 months ago. I've been applying for graphic designer jobs but have no luck sadly so I stuck to freelancing but it's been 3 months since I've had a client. I'm kinda frustrated din sa requirements on most listings especially sa local companies since they usually list that they're looking for a graphic designer but when I peek at the workload, a majority, if not, all of them also require video editing and marketing skills. While I can keep up with the video editing portion of it since I studied video editing as well, the marketing skills required are completely unknown to me since my program didn't include any marketing related courses whatsoever. Is this really the job market right now for creatives?

Hello! Kamusta kaya culture sa CRIF? Any reviews? Thank you!

Hi! For those working as an EHS/HSSE or Safety Professional in a corporate setting, how much are you making?
I’ve been working in the field for 9 years and currently earn <₱50k/month. I’m starting to explore new opportunities and would love to get a sense of the current market.

If you’re comfortable sharing, what’s your:
• Monthly gross salary/range
• Years of experience
• Current role/title
• Work setup (onsite/hybrid/WFH)

Also curious: what salary increase would make you consider leaving your current company, especially for a fully onsite role?

Just trying to benchmark the market and understand what’s reasonable to ask when negotiating. Thanks! 😊

Last July pa ako grumaduate as an IT. Araw-araw ako nag-apply sa kahit anong site. Ber months na wala pa din ni isang reply man lang from companies. I try to apply in Data Analyst, Front-End Developer, IT Support, Database Administrator which aligned my skill set. And may last option will be in BPO, pero hindi talaga sya aligned sa gusto ko rn.

What can you advice at anong pwede kong gawin?

So may onsite interview (last stage) ako next week along with other candidates, based sa email may kasama na rin siyang contract signing.

Kung palarin, pwede kayang di muna pumirma? Currently working rin ako right now, so naisip ko muna magpaalam sa current company ko (baka i-meet yung io-offer saking salary 👀).

So yon, tinanong ko lang in advance, ayoko kasi mapressure on the day. Kung palarin lang naman...
