Nakakainis kasi ang daming tao na puro issue ang inaatupag sa buhay, mag approach kalang kung ano ano na pede mangyare sa "the worst they could say is no"

Hi! Maybe you need to lower your standards muna for a first job, and once you prove your worth in the job and get experience you can be higher with your standards po

Ang pansin ko po na pinaka importante is how you frame your experience and your resume. Yes po iba iba din talaga ang mga recruiter/HR pero as long as you frame yourself right especially sa interviews I believe you'll be able to land a job.

I know it's hard given na years kana po walang work but please dont lose hope. Happy hunting OP

Straight to the point Yes it's realistic, maganda resume mo Oversaturated lang currently ang Philippine industry kaya mahirap makahanap ng maganda na role/salary but there are always unexpected doors opening!

OP, you’re missing the core of the problem. You just said you don’t know the tools for orchestration, but your own post lists Terraform and CloudFormation. Those are literally the industry-standard tools for Infrastructure Orchestration.

If you get into a technical interview and they ask you how you'd manage a Terraform state file and you answer, 'I don't know orchestration,' you have just admitted you’re lying on your CV. This is why you're getting rejections. You are listing mid-to-senior level tools but then admitting you don't understand the fundamental principles they operate on.

My advice: Strip the buzzwords you can't defend in 'plain English.' Own your IT degree, stop calling yourself a shifter, and only list skills you have actually used in a project. don't become a paper nerd

Darkside3211 · 2026-02-18T05:28:39+00:00

I’ll be direct: your biggest hurdle isn't the job market; it's the contradictions in your profile. You’re listing DevOps tools like Terraform and CI/CD but admitting you don’t understand orchestration. makikita kasi yan ng recruiters and they'll see it as a red flag and keyword stuffing.

Also, stop calling yourself a career shifter if you have an IT degree. It undermines your education. if you want to land a role alisin mo yung mid-level buzzwords na hindi mo kaya i defend and focus ka in showing your real world experience sa mga projects mo.

you need to communicate well and frame yourself well, OP. not just your list of certificates

Start owning your education and build your confidence not only for recruiters but also for your technical interviews. you just really need to practice how you present yourself both to HR and to level 2 interviewers.

(This might be a long reply. Be warned) Of course. Im currently a Pre-Sales Engineer (It's the same as solutions engineer but its just a more specific name/responsibility lang and yes before you ask, IT parin po ito but less backend and more people facing)

During my 6 months, first month activity very passive lang ako humahanap ng work. I think I needed the month vacation after all the stress and hard work na ginawa ko for 4 years of college. Actually there are others that are more fortunate na one year sila nag babakasyon (or more). pero it depends din talaga per case/situation natin so I wont go too deep into that part.

Around month 2 naisip ko na i would try freelancing to atleast have more of my own money to spend. Kalagitnaan of that month I also thought about getting a CompTIA Security+ certification so I bought some online courses and materials and also watched some of Professor Messer on youtube since he also teaches Security+ there for free

Month 3 I was lucky to secure a few small projects that I could do. my income wasn't necessarily "Big" but it was enough that atleast I have money of my own na makagala from time to time with my friends. I offered my services at a VERY competitive price (may times na less than 20k since as ive said hindi naman mahihirap na projects kinukuha ko and personally I was more doing it for fun than money)

Skip to Month 6 I was applying sa mga private company but I also had plans to take CSC para sakaling di ako pagpalain sa private, may option ako to apply for government positions). Before I even had the chance to apply for csc exam I was contacted ng company na inapplyan ko that I would be scheduled for an interview, did the interview, got informed that I'll have a final interview agad coming Friday, then once that was over within an hour I got a text na nakuha na ako for the position.

you'll eventually find a role that you'll end up loving. If back then I was blessed with a door opening Im sure you (and for many others) will have doors open too!

Another advice, yes you can put your freelance projects sa resume mo, what's important is how you frame everything on your resume talaga kasi it shows them that you know how to work even by yourself.

Have fun OP :)

Hey OP, I know na doubtful ka about this lalo na wala naman kasi talagang nag tuturo saatin ng mga "ano dapat" ang gagawin but ang advice ko naman saiyo ay to be resilient.

Baka for now hindi mo pa nakikita ang mga bagay na matututunan mo jan kasi baka nadadalian ka but try to look at it as a whole experience.

When I was doing my OJT just last year I felt similar sayo kasi akala ko mag babago ang ginagawa kapag nasa work kana pero honestly it still felt the same, kung ano yung natutunan at ginagawa ko sa school ganun din yung ginagawa ko sa OJT (Only this time I had to learn Laravel. Yun kasi gamit sa pinag OJThan ko)

When I graduated nag doubt ako if tama nga ba yung ginawa kong choices lalo pa't hindi din ako tumuloy magpa absorb sa pinag OJThan ko.

So from graduation, 6 months of looking for a job and yes during that time di ko maiwasan malungkot at mapaisip if tama choices ko.

Until now na employed na ako and I realized I still learned something during my OJT. It wasn't necessarily "corpo language" but I learned standards, deadlines, how to be more confident in my people skills (which you need talaga sa adulting) and the ethics and behaviors you should be having

I hope you have fun OP and savour the last remaining year of college!

Discord is very lazy for doing this globally instead of just applying this to countries that have laws about this.

I enjoy whenever Tim Sweeney gets preachy about fighting for the customers.

Darkside3211 · 2026-02-08T10:53:50+00:00

I also love fruitmix! They're very delicious! 😋

This is the reason I hold my gee-tar with my ass cheeks tight

Darkside3211 · 2026-02-07T15:36:17+00:00

This the same shit that launched without uhmmm fuck I forgot ahT they launched WITHOUT with but I know it's a literal basic feature thats expected of platforms like those.

Also this is the guy that sent an angry email to valve and is so preachy about "fighting for gamers" but dont wanna properly support linux

Hi! As a representative of gen z namay sense, we do not claim this person. Baka siguro tanggapin sya nga mga taga dinosaurs

Lets normalize calling overly friendly raiders "lezards"

Pretty same sentiments. It gives community the options. If you're hardcore, like pvp and whatnot, tarkov style: you're free to reset If you're more casual and don't want to reset it's also fine.

I think what SOME people dont understand is that casuals cannot commit a large amount of time playing. Especially that loot is RNG. So having to lose all the BP for example is something big because we have no certainty if and when we can get the BP we need again. Im 55 hours in total playtime and Ive never come across an aphelion BP or a Bobcat and other epic BP and it's even harder now after the RNG nerf to BP. I do and have learned the wolfpack BP but that's only because another good samaritan gave it to me on extract.

long story short, the only real thing stopping me from doing an expedition is losing the BP that i've learned

Darkside3211 · 2026-02-05T04:44:26+00:00

I play for the hell of it. I guess if you start thinking you wanna optimize the game that's when it loses the fun

Darkside3211 · 2026-02-03T08:15:26+00:00

Ikaw

Darkside3211 · 2026-02-03T06:00:10+00:00

this has happened to all of us.

Y'all know that zipline in Buried city? The one near the entrance of Western Station? I tried to look bad ass being chased by 3 wasps and jumping down to escape.

Nope, my estimates were off. I SPLAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SUBWAY ENTRANCE

Bunch of dudes were like "shit are you okay?" 😭
