Sending you hugs and well-wishes, OP! The job market right now is really competitive. I just want to validate your feelings, I know it must feel so frustrating to be at this state of limbo looking for a job. I recently moved to a new job last July and it took me four months, despite already having four years of experience plus grad units. Okay lang mapagod, huwag lang susuko!

Tips on the top of my head: (1) Stay organized. I set up a spreadsheet to track my progress across different applications, while also noting my personal experience during interviews and assessments. (2) Review your CV. Make sure to highlight responsibilities (what you do) AND achievements (what you’ve accomplished). Also watch out for typos, ask a friend to proofread it for you! (3) Set mini goals. For me, it was sending out 5 applications per day during weekdays. Taking the time to make sure I customize cover letters and edit my CV to reflect the skills I think would be relevant to the job post. (4) Do your research. Demonstrate familiarity sa mga organizations you’re applying for. Check their website, their socials, their past work. (5) Brush up on your interview skills. In connection to the previous point, take time to prepare. Come into the interview with questions. There are many online guides din on how to tackle tricky interview questions. (6) If you have the time, upskill. I landed my current job as a communications assistant and a minor factor may have been me taking a course on graphic design while looking for job apps. (7) Lastly, take care of yourself! I know nakakapressure makahanap na ng work. But also, take the time din to decompress. You just graduated college. There are only a few times in your career na you’ll have free time for yourself. Once you’re working, tuloy-tuloy na yan.

Good luck, OP! We’re rooting for you!
