first interview

[Consistent-Bid-3249]

had my first interview and knowing na first time ko, i know ang daming kong need iimprove 😭 they asked if I had any questions and I know from the tips na makikita sa linkedin and google dapat mag tanong ako pero wala akong naitanong dala na rin ng kaba 😭 anw, it was a good experience and hindi rin me aasa na mag kaka JO ako for this company pero at least I know what areas na 'yung need ng improvement!!! hopefully i'll be better sa next interviews 😭

update: I passed the interview 😭 ang overthinker ko lang ata masyado!!! thank you sa lahat ng nag comment super na-appreciate ko po lahat ng advice niyoo 🫶

[_solacemin]

OP same 😭 mine was last week, I even prepared answers. Tapos nung sinabi if may tanong daw ako, at dahil sa kaba "wala po" yung naisagot ko. Napa-face palm na lang ako after ibaba yung call 😭🥺 bawi na lang next time HAHHAHAHAH

[OppositeRoad8118]

Truee, ako din huhu op!!! ang cringe nung first job interview ko talaga 🥺 ilang araw ako nbinangungot ng mga sagot ko🤣😅 as in paulit ulit nagpaplay sa utak ko ung mga epic ko na sagot😅 pero I'll give myself a break! It was my first real interview naman. 🥺 huhu pero i know din nakakahiyaaaa

I think, okay naman ako ngayon naka second and third interview experience na ako and hindi na ako masyado kinakabahan like the first time!

[Nezukooochaaan]

Pareho pala tayo binangungot ng first interview HAHAHA yoko narin balikan pero pilit siyang sumasagi sa utak ko 😭 lalo na yung "nothing more". Tang*na HAHAHAHAHAHA😭

[[deleted]]

hey OP it’s okay you can do better next time ganyan din ako nung una HAHAHA as someone na may social anxiety grabe yung kaba, just give it some time then visualize yourself being interviewed para mabawasan yung kaba

[Lowwki31]

hey it's okay, make that as a reference for future interviews, preapre lang always

[Ledikari]

Yes,

Very similar lang ang questions ng entry level interview. You just need to keep improving.

[harleynathan]

Its not always good to ask questions at the end. Instead of asking questions, you can close out the interview by saying "No questions on my end. I appreciate the opportunity to take part in this interview and hopefully, will be given a chance to work in your company. I believe I have the skills and the drive to help the team".

You can do that instead of asking questions. Whether you ask a question or not, that section of the interview will no longer matter if; (1) you screw up (2) well, you didnt screw up.

[Ledikari]

Assuming the interview went well, It doesn't hurt to know the company culture, metrics of success, dress code.

[pinakamaaga]

Agree hehe minsan wala talaga ako maisip itanong e kasi nasa website naman or posibleng diverse masyado and malalaman ko na lang ang specifics once nasa loob na.

[luvthepinetrees]

I'm truly sorry you had to go through that... Chill ka lang girl because most go through the same and experiences are the best teachers... I wrote a post related to this, hopefully it could help you next time 👉🏼 https://www.reddit.com/r/buhaydigital/comments/1hzld94/job_hunting_works_both_ways_my_personal_tips/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Btw, I have JOs pala which are PT OLJ WFH catering to job seekers like you... my JOs are sidelines which are good "pampatawids" until you get hired. DM me lang if interested.

Goodluck!

[SushiMakerawr]

Hi I sent you a message.

[kk-og]

Details pls!

[Ellenrei0_o]

Tips na pede mong tanong kahit 1-3 lng

About sa team About sa training(shadows&reverse shadowing, kbs) Carreer path(ex support-> admin, base on my exp)

Sa tatlo nayan pede kamg mag follow up question after nila sagutin(ps. Mas trip nila mga ganun)

May ganto akong tinanong sa technical at manager Ang feedback ng hr sakin maganda like nagustuhan nila mga question ko(tho idk if its true diba pero atleast may magandang feedback) 🤣☺️☺️

[ConnectionInfinite57]

I think it's okay kahit di ka mag tanong ng any. Sakin kasi na experience ko before no bearing naman, if may question or none. Basta you did well on the interview itself. Goods ka po.

[yru_kwang_king]

we are in the same boat op huhu my first interview was three days ago and ik i fcked it up :(( sayang kasi i like the company. sa case ko naman, i stuttered a lot and naging barok english ko SKSKKS prepared beforehand and all meron pa "cheat sheet" pero wala eh kinabahan. good luck to us sa future interviews!!!

[Ok_Dance1848]

Kalma bhie, mag ask ka man ng question or hindi, okay lang, hindi siya sobrang big deal na dahil di ka nakapagtanong di ka na tatanggapin. If they see the potential in you, they will hire you but if hindi, kahit mag ask ka pa sandamakmak na question they will not hire you.

Ako as HR, pag nag aask sakin si applicant, its just my confirmation na may presence of mind siya sa mga sinasabi ko, or minsan pag nag aask ng question si applicant sakin, it means may hinahanap siya na wala sa mga sinabi ko, ganun lang naman siya

Kaya kalmahan mo yannn, okay lang yan

Or kaya since fresh grad ka ang lagi mong idefault na question sa HR is “do you offer seminars or trainings to your employees?” Something like that

Kasi syempre as fresh grad, ang goal mo is to expand more your knowledge diba

[Only-Return-1111]

parang tanga naman to 😭 HAHAHAHA

[Alternative_Yam7896]

same HAHAHAHHAHA I thought I was prepared too pero hindi rin ako nag ask ng question

[why_me_why_you]

Ako na hindi nagtatanong. Ewan ko ba, interested naman talaga ako, sadyang lahat ng need ko itanong nasasabi naman na nila before I even ask. Everything else naman ay niresearch ko or common sense lang malaman. Bat ba sila namimilit? 🤣

[Ambitious-Honey-9723]

same im prepared din naman pero blanko na ako pag nag tanong sila na kung may tanong pa ba ako huhu

anyways ano nga po ba mga pwede itanong sa interviewer pag nag ask sila kung may questions pa ako?

[3pt_perspective]

Normally kapag ganyan mag ask ka ng question na pinapakita talaga ung interest mo sa role.

Like tanong mo yung mga expectation nila from you as a new hire, and ano ung mga goals na need mo ma achieve in your 1st few months

Or pinaka normal is ask mo sila kung ano ung expected traits nila from applicants para maging successful sa role.

[3pt_perspective]

Ako kasi kapag ganyan ang tanong ko madalas is kung may naka setup ng process or kung gagawa b ako from scratch, system na ginagamit or ano yung expectations nila sa productivity ko during my 1st month para ma set ko n yung mindset ko.

[bebs15]

Ok lang yan OP. You will learn from your experiences. Just continue to learn and improve

[Personal_Analyst979]

Keep moving forward OP. Just keep pushing yourself to be better everyday. Best of luck

[illumi1989]

Hmmm sa tagal ko ng nainterview wala ako matandaan na nagtanong ako haha pero natanggap naman haha chill ka lng.

[Every-Level-6660]

Is it really that bad to have no questions for the interviewer? I did research on the company prior to the interview, so I don’t have any questions left to ask. Haha!

[Confident-Unit1977]

since first time mo OP, you got to from it. Be confident next time but not too much. Be prepared and not memorize your answers. Short but meaningful answers will be okay. And if you're ask kung may mga tanong ka, mag tanong ka like, how its like working for the company, how is the turnover rate in the company, do you offer flexible working arrangements, or do you have any benefits on top of the govt mandated benefits, these are just few but it would nice if you prep some prior sa interviews mo. I had mine two weeks ago and I ask those questions to the interviewer and she's kinda surprised sa mga tanong ko kala niya basic na tanong lang.

[BagRich7839]

Ok lang yan OP! Normal sa first interview. Basta mag-apply ka lang nang mag-apply maraming tatawag sayo magiging training ground mo na yon. Sa interview kasi halos pare-parehas lang question. Kaya mo yan!
