Tips For The Newly Graduates

[krisnathan24]

Find a job that you like. It may be related to your course or not but just don't let time pass by not having any job. Mahirap na panahon ngayon. Just gain some experience.

wag munang maghanap. pahinga muna. takte simula 4 na taong gulang nag-aaral ka na tapos magtatrabaho ka agad? pagnakatrabaho ka na halos wala ka nang panahon para sa sarili. kaya bago sumabak sa tunay na mundo, relaks muna

 

huwag matakot mangahas. ito yung panahong ayos lang magkamali, ayos lang lumipat-lipat ng trabaho dahil kinakapa mo pa kung ano ang gusto mo talagang gawin at kung ano ang meron sa mundo.

 

sa simula ok lang na magcompromise sa sweldo. ganun talaga. sa simula karanasan muna ang talagang pakay ng karamihan. saka na ang malalaking sweldo.

if there is a good offer, grab it...

I second the motion, completely stay away from credit cards. Its a real headache.

 

I third the motion. don't be lured by its appeal.

 

Please don't ever wear jeans when you're applying. Don't tell me, "eh sa call center naman ako mag-a-apply eh." Come on. Every time I see applicants in jeans, I cringe. I'm not saying wear a suit, but you know, at least wear slacks.

make sure to have your MBA specially if you didn't come from the Big 3 (U.P., Ateneo & La Salle).... no, not Masters in Business Adminstration, but to be practical, May Backer Ako. name of the game... simple reality... :thumbsdownsmiley:

Network. Expand your connections and get some "backers" if you can.

I work in an "equal employment opportunity" company but I notice that the people with connections almost often get the job.

 

If possible, make your resume one-of-a kind to separate it from the rest.

 

"Dress for success" in job interviews. Need I say more?

 

Research on the company and the job you're applying to before your interview.

 

Be prepared for common interview questions. Look for a list on the web. If possible practice being interviewed beforehand with a friend.

 

Smile!

go to the basics, dress properly for interviews and check your grammar...

[Masternone]

Turo sa akin, submit ka lang ng submit ng resume ko sa mga company. Tapos pagdating sa interview be confident, dress mature and be polite and on time. Lastly be a professional.

Tips for newly grads:

 

1. Erase everything you've learned in college (unless you will put up your own business) - you wont need them when hired.

2. Use more your commonsense than your book knowledge.

3. Asnwer questions straight to point. Never bullshit, admit when you don't know it...when asked "what time"- say exact time, never maaga, hapon, like most pips do. Remember, working is all about information transfer/sharing. The more objective you get the more effective and efficient you get.

Invest in post grad studies. It will pay off. This days you can hardly get by with just relying on you college degree. Its also difficult to earn promotions and career growth without one.

 

If you have the right talent for it, apply for a post-grad studies abroad. You can learn a lot and earn at the same time just for studying

[shrike]

in everything you do, do it with PASSION. may makakita man o wala. do it for yourself.

 

never ever embrace mediocrity, if this is the norm sa workplace change it, if you can't change it, leave.

 

never sacrifice principle for ambition.

[Alucard]

Study, study, study........(Yup, its a never ending process)

Socialize....(Expand your network)

 

Try to get as many interviews as possible......(You'll definitely learn alot of things like typical questions ask by interviewers etc.)

 

Once you're hired, stick around for at least 3 years, yun eh kung kaya mo at kung medyo ok naman ang napasukan mo.....(It will look good on your resume)

 

Don't lose hope.....(kahit di ka graduate nang UP, eventually you'll land a job)

[tik]

Be sure that you can back-up your resume.

 

HUWAG nyo isama naman ang mommy nyo sa job interview. please.

try to look for a job that you'd love.. or would grow to love
