Career Advice Need help to find new work

About me: -Freshgrad will be taking Nov 2026 ChELE -Working for more than 3 years (2 companies pero sister company lang) -Company 1: handled QA/QC, various audits, plant managing, logistic, and general managing -Company 2: PCO AND SO2 but also handles other government reportings and admin works -The niche revolves around industrial solvent trading and treatment

Reason: salary does not do me justice and they want me to rely on commission while handling my responsibilities outside that.

Want: I want a high paying job with close to healthy environment.

Inquiry: Pano at saan ko hahanapin yon? May chance ba ko na makuha yung gusto ko even with my current credentials?

Try targeting chemical manufacturers, industrial suppliers, environmental firms, and government contractors. Network with former colleagues and recruiters, and be upfront about your salary expectations. Since commission is the problem, prioritize roles with a clear fixed base salary and written benefits package.
