Tips For The Newly Graduates

[Cool Fool]

Stick with what you love. If you have to leave, resign properly.

[crimsonred10]

give your best shot...remember first impression last long......

[Cap™]

never be pressured by other people. Believe in what you can do before immersing yourself in things. Know the difference between a job and a career

[cytus]

Tip: don't waste your money as soon as you get your hands on your sizable amount of cash. Always spread your money by investing or starting businesses. If you're busy with your work, choose a business that requires little management and hire someone to manage it.

 

Also, avoid credit cards unless your salary can afford it.

 

Car expenditures (gas, maintenance, etc) should only take up at most 10% of your income. If it exceeds 10%, then you might consider commuting instead. This also applies to you choice of public transpo (don't ride a taxi if your monthly cost for it exceeds 10% of your income)

 

Choose your friends. Don't hang out with people who have different goals too often. Diversify your network of acquaintances as it may help you in you job/business.

 

Choose a job that is relatable to your course, but think outside of the box if the field is already oversaturated. For example, if you're a nursing grad and you can't get a job as a nurse both here and in abroad, try looking for work where you can apply the skills you learned in school, like in a massage parlor

wag choosy sa first work then try to research the bracket for the job salary.

[Duel of Fate]

Kung di nyo kelangan ng pera immediately (ie tag gutom na pamilya mo, may cancer magulang mo etc) then go for passiob over pera. Dont go for a "meantime high paying job" because makakain kayo ng system. Master and learn everything u can, make as many mistakes as u can and always try something legendary for ur career. Pag nagawa mo na lahat yan, pera na ang hahabol sayo.

Learn how to communicate well.

 

And by this, I don't simply mean make sure that your grammar is correct and you don't make misspellings. What's more important is you know how to say what you want to say well and be understood well. Minsan kasi, kahit na gaano ka kagaling sa trabaho mo technically, minsan hindi nagiging OK sa mga katrabaho mo kung 'di mo masabi nang maayos kung ano 'yung gusto mong sabihin, or kung hindi mo maipaliwanag nang maayos kung ano 'yung kailangan mong ipaliwanag o ituro tungkol sa trabaho mo.

 

(Kasama din dito 'yung choice of words sa sasabihin mo...the wrong choice of words could also break your career, so choose your words well especially if you have to communicate in a very sensitive situation, e.g., kapag napagalitan ng boss, kapag performance evaluation mo, etc.)

I'll share what one of our senior exec shared with me (I could have sworn he read it somewhere but I can't recall so benefit of the doubt to him. Besides the way he delivered it was so appropriate for the situation at that time). Here's what he said (he's 62 na BTW - you'll know why I had to share this as you read on):

 

"When I was growing up I thought I should go out and change the world, as I went and learned about the world in my younger years I realized that I should just change my country, but it was also difficult so I figured I'd make a change in my town. As I grew older I realized I cannot change my town so I decided I will change my family, late into my years I learned that I cannot change others nor my family so I decided to change myself.

 

Now I am an old man and I learned that since I changed myself I was able to change my family, in turn we made a stronger impression in our town. This made our town so significant that our country started to notice and we were able to influence the country and who knows maybe later on...the world"

 

Young grads, before you go out to the world and blame everything for your success and failures, know that your future stats from what you change from within. There are bigger things in the world than us so we must learn to find our place in the world to understand how we can contribute. Not all of us will become CEOs, political leaders, technocrats or business moguls but this does not deny us the right to make a significant impact to society.

 

I am not a fan of telling people what to do but I am always happy to show people the opportunities that they can grab. The rest is up to you, be happy with what you chose and be honest with yourself with how you measure success.

 

Yun lang po..bow.

 

I thought this sounded familiar too. So, I had a look around, and it seems it's attributed to an unknown monk in 1100 A.D.

First of all, congratulations for completing the easiest part of life.

 

Now, work, don't complain, first stage is to learn everything you can in tour future employment.

Wag feeling entitled. Just work. Talk less, work more. Let your performance make the noise.

 

Good luck.

wag ka muna mag work. tumambay k muna ng kahit ilang months. kasi once na magkatrabaho ka na mammiss mo ang bakasyon haha

[gregglion]

^ Agree. Kumbaga recharge ka muna ng ilang months bago sumabak sa pag-aapply and work.

[mamangkantutero]

Nangyari na rin sa akin 'yan. Pagkagraduate ko, 2 months bago pa ako nagkatrabaho, so sabi ng ermats ko wag daw akong masyadong ma-depress, ienjoy ko lang muna ang "bakasyon" ko. Then nung nagtatrabaho na ako, naisip ko, sana pala inextend ko muna ang bakasyon grande ko

There was a time nung estudyante ka na ganadong-ganado kang mag-aral o kaya tumuklas ng mga bagong mga bagay-bagay (na school-related, hehehe). Maybe in one or two subjects kung hindi man lahat, lol.
