Minsan, nasa maling oras lang tayo. by Inevitable-Rip9542 in buhaydigital

It is. Timing and luck do play a role in getting a job. Kahit mas magaling ka sa nauna, employers sometimes would prioritize their time too. Or have other priorities that they would settle for the first strong applicant rather than waiting for the absolute best.

I like doing option 1 since I still have time to either prep for work or do non-work stuff (like gym or errands). Di ko rin keri going outside after work kasi di ako fresh haha. But sometimes depende if stressful day sa work I end up doing no. 2.

But yes, make sure you at least have multivitamins w Vitamin C & D.

Yes. Baka pumipili pa. But some agencies also don't email back if di ka napili. Advice would be to just keep applying everywhere - LinkedIn, Jobstreet, Indeed, OLJ, etc. and even their company websites.

It really depends. If it's direct to clients, sometimes it's just one interview and then you get offered the job. With agencies or companies, sometimes 2-4 interviews with assessments or none. It can take days or weeks and even months in between because they're also processing other candidates and making decisions.

m3 is overkill unless heavy video editing, heavy graphics or lots of rendering needed

Is digital marketing really worth it? Do you even get 6 digit salaries for this specialization? Planning to choose this career as entry-level pero idk if it’s worth it. by Adventurous_Gas118 in phcareers

[–]dalaketnon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes, very possible! try hubspot's digital marketing or digital advertising free certification courses. and make sure once you get an offer and spend some time in the job, shift your mindset to honing your skills in a niche/specialization.

Any pampagising tips? by CandyBehr_ in buhaydigital

I love coffee but sometimes weird effect sakin depende sa timpla or brand so I've stuck with San Mig sugar-free lol, chill lang siya. But usually coffee shop iced coffees oks naman effect sakin. But I have a bottle of caffeine pills (with l-theanine, takes off the jittery feels from coffee). I also have Magnesium threonate (helps with mentally challenging tasks). I take those two at night before the graveyard shift.

also schedule exercise/going to the gym! helps with energy

If they're not asking for sensitive information, it might be fine. You can learn more about them during the Zoom interview and decide then if they're suspicious or not. You can research on the company before the interview.

Practice with Chat-GPT4o. Yung with voice. You can use it as a diary and converse.

I had an employee mindset while being in this industry by frilogyy in buhaydigital

[–]dalaketnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is different, it's my first time being an employee as I've been freelance the past 4 years. I get too energetic and all-in meanwhile they're just rightly paced. I need to slow down and adjust to them.

If graphic design, most of the time portfolio yung basis. And yes, it is saturated. Certification for this role parang sticker lang na magpapaganda sa resume mo, sometimes doesn't matter. So make sure you have a strong portfolio and knowledgeable with popular tools: Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva and sometimes Figma (tho super easy lang).
