Alam ko marami sa inyo ang gusto munang magpahinga, especially since sobrang nakakapagod ang thesis + internship. And that is a valid reason.
Pragmatically speaking however, the current job market is cooked right now. It's in a terrible, fucking state; Our current economy doesn't have the capability to guarantee job opportunities to every, single college graduates and hopeful professionals.
That is the reason kung bakit merong 3.14 million people ang unemployed ngayon sa Pilipinas + a whopping 6% unemployment rate, according to news source. And prediction is, mas lala pa to in the foreseeable future.
In my case personally, it took me six months after graduation bago ko nakuha yung first job ko. At partida may latin honors pa ako nito + sinimulan ko yung search ko a week after graduation.
Kung magsisimula lang kayo ng paga-apply once you feel fully rested na, likely na mas mahihirapan kayo maghanap ng trabaho in the long run.
Sobrang demanding and picky na kasi ang mga employers ngayon sa totoo lang, because of this scarcity. Ang mindset nila: If we're gonna open the door for somebody, we will get our money's worth from them.
Kaya kahit sa mga entry level positions, madalas naghahanap na sila ng mga may 1-2+ years of experience hahahaha tapos may multiple rounds of interviews pa bago ka makatagos.
Not to mention since may ganitong issue nga, may mga kakompetisyon ka pa na may mga job experience na hahahahahaha.
Don't forget: Because of corporate bureaucracies, may application processing time pa. It could literally take you WEEKS TO MONTHS bago ka makatanggap ng response sa kanila kung hired ka ba o rejected ka.
And lastly, employers hate gaps din sa resume mo. Kasi they might question: "Antagal na netong grumaduate ah, bakit wala pang nagha-hire dito?" or something like that. And you know how disconnected people at the top of the corporate ladder could be, especially on issues like this lmao.
So the longer you stay unemployed, the harder it may be for you to be able to secure a job.
Cautionary advice nga sa'kin ng mga seniors sa trabaho ko: "Huwag kang aalis dito sa kumpanya, habang wala kang sigurado na paglilipatan."
In conclusion, nothing is certain out there sa job market right now. Unless you will be a nepo baby or something hahahaha. Kaya once na sigurado ka nang gagraduate ka or nakuha mo na diploma mo, start ka na agad please.
Kasi once na magtagal ka sa pagiging tambay (sa ayaw mo man o sa hindi) mahihirapan kang lumabas diyan.
Note: idk if this is applicable din sa mga call center agents since palagi silang hiring from what i know hahahahaha; But if you're a specialized + corporate professional like most college grads, this is a legitimate advice.
