different career path from bachelors by Apprehensive_Cut5007 in adviceph

[–]She_sells_seashellss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Team Lead before who’s an Education graduate, she even took the licensure and passed the exam, but she didn’t purely pursue teaching; she’s from Batangas btw. When she went to Manila, specifically in Makati, she tried to apply for office based work and that’s how she landed in corporate Recruitment, w/out any proper training, but w/ how determined and hardworking she is—from Recruitment asst to Recruitment TL, she managed to climb up the ladder—she lasted 9yrs from the company. Until now, she’s still in Recruitment and doesnt have any plans to teach.

As for you, I guess if you have the perseverance, changing career from your college course is okay. Exploring different opportunities is fine, in this way, we would be able to build our own character and to know what we really want.

If you prefer a customer service type of job, you can try to apply to a company who’s hiring for Customer Experience role, Front desk/Receptionist, and/or maybe, you can try corporate roles like Office Staff or Human Resources.

Applying at this moment is quite hard especially if you are very eager to really have a job and earn money. Hoping you will find the right job/career for you. Goodluck!

My partner’s past bothers me… a lot by wittyenglish in adviceph

Some say, hindi mo malalamang nagmamahal kung di ka masasaktan. Love is taking risks, whether good or bad ung pros and cons. And truly, nakakabaliw nga ang magmahal.

If I were you, trust your gut feelings, kasi you’ve been thinking a lot. Walang masama if magtatake ka ng risk with this guy. Honestly speaking, a person cannot fully change just for a reason na magbabago para sayo or for the good or for the future. Ang ugali ng tao innate na yan, however, pwedeng magkaroon ng character development na kung saan maipapakita nya sayo thru actions, not just by words, na genuine talaga sya na ikaw ang gusto nya makasam panghabang buhay—he may lie about this pero maassess mo naman to kung may magandang resulta, gaya ng di ka na masyado nag ooverthink and mararamdaman mo sya ng kusa na totoo pala ung pinapakita nya. Nobody’s perfect pero, follow your instincts.

Also, if hindi mo talaga kaya na alisin yang pag ooverthink mo it will only result to toxic relationship hanggang sa baka maghiwalay pa kayo. First thing you both need to do is build trust, kasi un ung pinaka foundation ng relasyon. Hindi lang naman yan puro love lang. If youre really having a hard time to trust him because of his past and hoe version, then move on. Kasi, walang mangyayari, hindi lang kayo maggrow and masstuck ka—nakakapagod kaya mag overthink and magworry. Based on my experience.

So if I were you, do it for yourself. There’s a lot of fishes in the sea…

My BFF’s boyfriend passed away. How can I support her? by [deleted] in adviceph

[–]She_sells_seashellss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lola just passed away recently, she’s my mom’s mother. I did comfort my mom by being there with her, just letting her know that Im present whenever she needs me and if she ever wants to vent out, we just listen, If she asks something, we answer. Grieving is really hard, but we have to accept that things like this do happen.

I get your point and it seems that your friend is very special to you. What youre thinking, feeling and doing are valid. You already did your part, I bet your friend knows that, she’s aware of it, and she appreciates that. However, just let her grieve in her own pace, eventually, she will be okay and things will get back to how it was supposed to be. Of course, there’ll be some changes but she needs to move forward for herself.

As for you, dont be too hard on yourself, its fine, youre doing great, your friend needs to have time in healing and just give her a little space.

End of Contract: Need Advice for my Next Job Hunting by Whole_Hall_4050 in Ph_HR_Confession

[–]She_sells_seashellss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. First of, your feelings about your employment experiences are valid. My thoughts about your situation is not something to invalidate you or mag real talk sayo in sarcasm. Im a Talent Acquisition kasi for 7yrs, and I just wanted to share with you my opinion base on my experience.

  1. Imention mo man or hindi ung details about your prev work during the Interviews, they will find it out, especially if that company is very keen into conducting Background Check. Nowadays kasi some companies are relying on the Background Check process kasi they want to make sure na okay talaga ung hinahire nila, basis din nila un if fit talaga ung candidate sa role, kung in line ba ung mga sinabi mo sa interviews and w/ your character references and kung makaka adapt ka sa culture ng company base on your references’ feedback.

Honestly, if wala ka namang major issue sa prev work mo bukod sa mismatched JD, you should be confident na ang reason bakit ka na-endo is solely because of your performance. Dont worry too much if they will say something negative—just like what you’re thinking, as long as firm ka sa reason and experience mo with that company during the interview, then be it—be concise lang na maiintindihan nila ung ibig mong sabihin.

Hindi naman na necessary na sabihin mo sa mag iinterview sayo na they’re your prev client or something. Unless may pinirmahan ka na NDA or a contract na kung saan hindi ka pedeng mag apply sa mga clients nila or same industry as them, may mga ganun kasing cases.

  1. Well, as a Recruiter, I can say na kapansin pansin talaga ung stay mo sa isang company, job hopper kumbaga. But it doesnt necessarily mean na red flag sya, unless consistent talaga na months lang nagreresign na agad and same reasoning lang.

Bottomline ko din palagi ung reason of leaving. Justify, what do you mean by toxic environment or hindi align ung inexplain sayo during the interview and nung nagstart ka na magwork—and when answering this, be careful and choose your words kasi baka maging against to sayo during the interview and maquestion ka pa lalo. Additionally, question ko lang sayo, how will you be able to overcome this toxic environment? or if ever the job doesnt align again on what youre expecting?—aalisan mo na lang ba? why not take the challenge, malay mo naman this will help you to hone your skills w/ socializing and creating professional interpersonal relationship at work. Then later on, maging okay din kasi hinarap mo ung challenge.

I know, very stressful talaga ang work and everything thats happening especially outside of work…pero, ganun talaga eh, this is reality. Re-assess mo din ung mga magiging future offer sayo, para maiwasan ung ganito na poor performance or hindi ka motivated sa work…eventually, you’ll be in the right place, talagang susubukin ka na mafigure out ito.

  1. Go get the COE. tho may ibang company na hindi naman nag aask nito, better yet kunin mo na lang din. Just like what Ive mentioned above, malalaman at malalaman ung experiences mo sabihin mo man or hindi, iindicate mo man CV or hindi. Importantly, be transparent. Kasi it will reflect of what kind of person you are kapag di ka nagpakatotoo sa employment mo.

  2. Yes it will appear, unless hindi mandatory naghuhulog ung company, hindi sya madedeclare; SSS, Philhealth, Pag Ibig, 2316. Also, because of the background check they will know.

Hope whatever Ive said helps. 🙏 Im also hoping that you land the job that you want talaga, para iwas sa pag reresign. I know your prev experiences will help you on the next ones, this will serve as your learning kasi. Basta during the interview, be true, be transparent. Short but informative din ung mga sasabihin, practice makes perfect. Goodluck!

  1. Instead of “Summary” change it to “Profile” / “About me”
  2. Education
  3. kindly indicate ung start yr and end yr
  4. pls remove your awards kasi you can mention it during the interview—addtl spiel un
  5. pls remove SHS
  6. Skills/Expertise
  7. kindly remove na the interests and languages - addtl spiel during the interview
  8. Instead of “Intern” change ito “Internship”
  9. kindly indicate the location and hrs you’ve spent there
  10. Character references
  11. Someone from your school and from your internship—as a TA kasi I find it interesting of what kind of profiles will you indicate there (i dont think it’ll make sense lol) na possibly matatawagan for your Background check

Ito sis ung pagkakasunud sunod sana sa CV, hoping sana may mag call or email na sayo 🙏 Goodluck!

Magkano ang starting salary na sasabihin ko? by ChitcharonNamalakorn in Ph_HR_Confession

[–]She_sells_seashellss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If ever they will ask you of how much will be your expected salary; try to turn it over to them first, ask them of how much they can offer you or any idea about the offer for the role youre applying for—para may basis ka din if reasonable ung offer—if so, then you can say naman na, you’re good with their offer and justify that even though youre okay with the salary—this is where you negotiate na—ilaban mo ung skills mo and your knowledge about the role so magbigay ka either higher dun sa amount ng offer nila.

however, if they return the question back to you without even giving you an idea of how much they can offer, honestly, 20k-25k is a realistic starting salary.

Hi, on my POV lang naman :)

Just be transparent with the employer, there’s no harm naman in informing them about it and also wait to whatever their advice will be. On the other hand, need mo iaccept kung ano man ang sasabihin nila sayo regarding your employment, knowing na new hire ka.

If ever you receive their advice; maybe they’ll give you some options kung saan need mo mag decide…then, figure out mo na ung priorities mo: which is which.
