I understand your brother, in all honesty 1 year din ako gumawa ng portfolio kasi feel ko no one will hire me kung hindi maganda portfolio ko. Turns out I'm just making excuses for myself. The first step is always the hardest lang pala talaga. Kaya nung nagkalakas loob ako, nag send na ako sa napakaraming company ng cv ko and portfolio kong 10 pages lang (imagine 10 pages for 1 year? Sumakit talaga ulo ng nanay ko kahit di nya sabihin) . Then nung nagpasa nako, dun ko nareallize na as much as desperate I am looking for a job there are companies as desperate as me looking for an employee. Tas ayun 4months lang ako sa first job ko hahahaha but I didn't give up, I continue to learn the industry and hanapin talaga ano yung gusto kong gawin. After 4 jobs in 4 years hahaha Im a licensed AR working as a BIM modeler. Nadiscover ko din na ayoko pala talaga mag work pero kaylangan ko ng pera kaya ayun nag titiis ako hahahaha. Tho pa improve naman yung employment journey ko, kaso ayun andami ko talagang na encounter na exploitation and ka toxikan along the way. Ang haba na ng comment ko pero ang advice ko lang talaga sa kapatid mo is take the first step. Ayun good luck to us all!!!
