[maniaclara]

incidentally, it's incorrect to say "newly graduates". incorrect grammar po.

you either say "new graduates" or "newly graduated" nurses, teachers, lawyers, doctors, etc.

 

peace.

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.

 

 

The newly hired girl in the office must have read and followed advise number 1. She must have erased everything her teacher told her in her grammar class, kaya she doesn't know how to use "he" and "she" in a sentence.

Working in recruitment here's what I can offer for advice:

 

1. Make sure your resume is well written and well presented. Keep it organized and only put in RELEVANT information such as technical skills (ie known programming languages for Computer Science people). I'm not sure about others, but putting in your weight, height, and even your parents' names are irrelevant. If you're a fresh graduate or don't have any working experience, you can put in your achievements from college. Keep it short and sweet and highlight only important information, there's no need to make the interviewer's head ache with a wall of text. 

 

2. If invited for a job interview, prepare beforehand! Do at least some background research about the company and the position you're applying for. Prepare for possible interview questions. Also, while you can put in your resume that you're hardworking, adaptable, and all those other traits, but prepare concrete examples of you being hardworking, adaptable, etc. from your past so you can back up the things you put in your resume. It'll be a big plus factor for you if you can provide good examples.

 

3. Make yourself presentable during the job interview. There's no harm in asking your interviewer beforehand if you need to be in business attire or if you can come in smart casual, and always remember to put your best foot forward. 

 

4. If you fail a job interview, don't take it too bad! Take it constructively, try and go over what happened to see why you didn't pass and improve on them.

 

Hope these tips help.

Pag natanggap na sa trabaho, 'wag ubod ng angas.

[king25]

Good advice un kay amante

[cocoy0]

Be humble and accept correction. Matagal na ang mga kaharap mo sa trabaho na iyan. Ikaw kakagraduate lang. Kung may mga bagong ways to do things, sila ang may alam nun, hindi iyung 5-year-old na textbook mo. Pero don't be afraid to think and express what you think may be good. Otherwise, bumili na lang sana sila ng robot.

graduation is bittersweet...

 

 

when you wake up the next day, you'd be then officially unemployed.

[Mr. Mister]

if you get a job at one of the big companies eg IBM, Philamlife, Meralco, ABS-CBN, etc...., stick it out with them, wag ka na lumipat....unless Call Center yun.

[zener]

experience lang muna.

[ZariHemi]

for me don't go to an interview with an empty stomach.

make your resume readable and interesting (do some research about resume)

show the interviewer that you really want that position.

show some intellect with your answers

don't exaggerate your answers please be friendly.

and for newly grad don't expect to much for your first employment take it for experience it will really help your growth out there in short make your hands dirty.

 

and lastly do some research about the company you want to apply for

[xavier_xerver]

Try to look for a job that is related to your course.

 

Accept the related job even the salary was low, basic steps to get work experience.

 

Be thankful if your seniors gave you advise, and things that need to improve.

 

take it step by step and you will reach your goal....

[erika123]

Resume shouldn't go beyond 2 pages. Just put there what is necessary.

 

First jobs are not about salaries. They are about gaining experience for the field you are really interested in. Go for that big company that can provide you with great exposure and relevant functions.

 

For interviews, be confident and answer truthfully. And for heaven's sake, close your cellphone while being interviewed. Kakairita kasi ang intiinterview mo tapos ring ng ring yung phone.
