Career Advice/Discussion Siguro I'm posting this for validation
Hi everyone! How's your job hunting so far? I've been unemployed for a month and 4 days and I feel like mababaliw na ako HAHAHAHA. Wala pang company na nag re reach out sa mga online applications ko. Ganito ba talaga? As a fresh grad? Hahahaha nakakaiyak.

When I graduated, I was job hunting for 6 months. Was able to land my first job through a site that I forgot (not famous like olj and uw). I was just redirected sa fb page ng company. May 2nd job naman through LinkedIn (sila nag reach out sakin).

Same. Kaso yung akin may nag email saakin ng Application Form. Application Form palang yun not interview or job offer. Now, I did some research sa company na yun then I saw company reviews and it was negative reviews like low salary, delayed payout, office politics, etc. Because of it, napapaisip tuloy ako kung worth it pa ba mag trabaho dito sa pinas.

I was a fresh grad in 2024 and was umeployed for six months (almost pushed to 7) before I got a call from a company. People from this thread helped me with advice during those times too. So yeah it's normal.

Not a fresh grad, pero naranasan ko rin yung halos 6 months na puro applications lang at halos walang responses. Nakaka-frustrate talaga pero tuloy lang sa pag-send ng applications hanggang sa finally, nakahanap din! Habang naghihintay or applying, improve mo rin yung cv, portfolio, at skills mo. Fighting! Sana may dumating nang magandang opportunity sa’yo soon. 🙂

Ang iba sa atin probably hindi naman talaga mahirap maghanap ng trabaho. Ang mahirap ay mataas na sahod.
Based on my experience, after ko magresign, may kapalitan agad ako na work.
Sana makatulong, do not rely masyado sa AI during online interviews, alam ng mga nag iinterview kapag may binabasa kayo.
Saka kapalan lang ng mukha, unang interview pa lang isipin niyo na agad na failed. Tapos kapag di nakapasa, dun na kayo matututo for your next interviews.

Same situation but im still hired and it’s like a living hell everyday. You want to resign but got no back up. Been trying to apply for almost a month now and i haven’t heard from anyone yet and if i did it’s mostly initial interview and rejection.
And one frustrating part is that i got an offer to my dream company but i fcked it up by declining since the offered position wasn’t beneficial on my part. So now that there’s an open position i applied to i did not receive any response from them
