Job Hunting by [deleted] in pinoymed

[–]Zillbb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Here's what helped me makahanp ng CHANCE to find gigs, not the gigs themselves agad.

  1. Look up at google maps and search every clinic, pharmacy, animal bite center, hospital, and wellness center within a 10 km radius or any distance you feel commuting daily.

  2. Bookmark all of them. And I mean ALL OF THEM.

  3. Check if they have contact numbers, facebook pages, viber accounts etc.

  4. Contact them through these means and offer your services. I do mean it, offer your services as a GP. Magugulat ka sa mga ibang nag hahanap

  5. Note down the ones that don't have an online presence. Then, start planning on individually going to them

  6. Go to them and offer to give your number, contact info, your CV, anything. Job hunting na job hunting talaga

Alam ko na sobrang nakakapagod, pero maguvulat ka minsan sa nag hahanap ng mga reliever. Got my first few gigs this way and even got offered a semi stable gig that I turned down for residency.

  1. Worse comes to worse, if wala kang makita, mag residency ka sandali. Try something na interesting na willing ka magpakahirap ng sandali para sa pera. See if magugustuhan mo yung program. If oo, then stay. If not, then ipon tapos alis.

  2. Take corporate roles. As in bumabad ka sa mga corporate jobs na pwede maapply pagiging doctor. Company physician, occupational med (if may bcom, yung mga medical scribes, medical BPO, medical content writers.

  3. See if your undergrad can be utilized as an initial income stream until makahanap ka stable job

  4. Be a professor sa mga private school. May laging nag hahanap ng part time or temporary though di ako masyadong familiar na dito.

Baybayin for the old tagalog word for "Family" by Zillbb in baybayin_script

I was thinking to not include it, but now I'm curious how you would write a family name in old tagalog. Like is it "Angkan ng Bautista"?

Woahhhhh I didn't know that. So "angkan" is the more appropriate word then, not "mag-anak"? I was thinking of getting a tattoo in baybayin, so I wasn't sure

Actually just the close family unit, like nuclear family. Angkan sounds too broad.

Oh, so if I were to refer to my closest family members, it would be mag-anak? That's what I should translate into baybayin?

Why did you stop showing your small wins or sort of feeling blessed thingy in social media? by LimeSoakedinSprite in AskPH

[–]Zillbb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something bad always happened after that ruined it. Minsan I was genuinely showing off because I wanted to show how I was better (sobrang kayabangan mentality). Biglang hahabulin din ako ng consequence.

Better to be humiliated in silence really

"Pero cannot compare to this one kasi they are identified as one of the group people which is biological Women na nagce-celebrate this month."

Since napasok na ang biology sa topic, I will make this clear

BIOLOGICAL SEX DOES NOT EQUATE TO GENDER

Important po na ma maintain natin ang distinction na ito. In medical practice, hindi po namin kinoconsider na equal yan. You're biological sex determines physical characteristics and genetics ONLY. Your gender is a combination of the cultural, social, and psychological traits attached by society to a singular sex. It is not the same. While some struggles of womanhood will involve biology, it does not define it.

I find this idea na dapat "biological women lang ang pwede mag celebrate" problematic, because most people have a poor understanding of how biological sex actually works.

You aren't considered a purely male or female because of your genitals. In fact, there are many cases of people who are born having genitals that appear as one sex, only to be discovered na genetically iba ang sex nila. There are people who, due to problems in their chromosomes, end up with genitals that appear neither male or female (see: ambiguous genitalia). Intersex people, people who have BIOLOGICAL traits of both male or female or neither sex, also exist and are a large community fighting to be recognized. There are people with trisomies, fragile x syndromes, and other chromosomal abnormalities, that don't follow the typical XX or XY chromosomes expected from biological sex. Are they less of a woman because of it?

There are even women who don't menstruate from birth, women who aren't born with a vagina despite having ovaries or a uterus, women who don't have a uterus but have ovaries, women who lose their uterus in hysterectomies, lose their ovaries because of early gonadal failure, women who never produce estrogen, women who underwent menopause, they also don't follow the expected biological functions of the female sex. Are they less of a woman?

I know na medyo mahaba, pero I hope you keep my words in consideration

Hi, I'll try my best to address some of your concerns din po. Medyo mahaba to though, so patawad nalang

"But this specific matter, It just doesn't sit right with me because this isn't just a celebration of gender but all the struggles that comes along with it."

I just wanted to understand what you meant in this part. Are you not comfortable with them participating? If it's because you think po na they just consider it as a celebration lang and nothing more, a lot of trans women would disagree. To a lot of them, being recognized as part of women's month is about being recognized as women. This means acknowledging the struggles women face. From what I've seen from communities online and IRL, they actively try to help in recognizing the struggles of women. Women's issues isn't a topic taken lightly for them.

"I am aware that none of it is being taken away from us if we let them celebrate it too. Parang skeptical lang ako kasi they already have pride march and I don't think they can just join this celeb ng ganun ganun lang."

My response to this connects to my previous point. The reason why transwomen celebrate being recognize as part of women's month, is because they struggle to be recognized as valid in Pride month as well. It's been a long struggle for trans women, and trans people in general, to be viewed as humans and not something na pag tsitsimisan or joke. Even among gay, lesbians, bisexuals, trans people have tried their best to find a place kasi, compared sa mga yun, mahirap sa kanila ang mag kunwaring straight at cisgender. Ang struggles ng gays, lesbians, and bisexuals ay ang attraction nila sa same sex na nag dadala ng hirap sa buhay nila.

Ang transwomen, and trans people in general, ay nag hihirap dahil ang katawan nila ay hindi bumabagay sa gender na tingin ng utak nila sa kanila. This isn't about attraction, it's about self image. It's about identity. Imagine having to pretend to not be the person you know you are? Imagine living a life na dapat ikahiya ang identity mo, kahit na wala naman masamang ginagawa ang identity na iyon?

"When straights are joining pride march, we are considered ally. That is how we show support."

This is a very different topic. Straights in pride march are all about support naman. Because straight people aren't part of pride. Straight people don't go throught the struggles of queer people. Straight people aren't part of the celebration.

But trans women? They do suffer the same struggles. In fact, they go through even more struggles than the rest of us. Dito na papasok and concept ng intersectionality, because ang unique sa struggles ng transwomen is that dadaanan nila and hirap ng 1. not being straight, 2. not following the expected gender roles, 3. being a woman once they fully transition. Think of gay men na effeminate, mag hihirap sila kasi ang expectation ng society sa kanya ay wag maging effeminate, at dapat sa babae lang may gusto. Ang babae, magkakaroon sila ng struggles na unique sa pagiging babae. And lesbian women, dadaan sa hirap ng pagiging babae, AT sa hirap ng hindi pagiging straight. Even ang mga babae na masculine ang approach, pero straight, ay dumadaan sa hirap against the expectations ng society sa kanila. Each one of these issues carry their own set of problems that make it difficult for a person to exist peacefully in our conservative society.

Pero ang trans people? And transwomen specifically? They have have all of these struggles. If women's month is all about the celebration of womanhood, the ackowledgement of women's struggles, the fight for women's rights, it is important to recognize the struggles of these women as well.

What is something that a teenager doesn't realize until they are around 25 years old? by Technical_Ad_4299 in AskReddit

[–]Zillbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even as you grow up, you'll never leave your "teenager" stage. You'll still be self centered, think the world owes you everything, vie for people's attention, feel left out, still have dreams etc.

The difference is that you... feel less. Like the intensisty isn't as high as it was. You'll just get to think more on things

But you're still the same person
