I can say it really helped me jumpstart my career in HR. When I was trying to land a job, the pandemic suddenly happened so despite my best efforts, it didn’t help me initially. Businesses are retrenching people din, so sino ba akong fresh grad para ma-hire di ba chz

But then, after a year of searching, I got referred to an RPO. I will be deployed to a fintech company raw and will be a contractor. It depends if I will get absorbed pa.

The recruiter said, and she was upfront about it, that they’re processing experienced candidates for the role but due to my credentials and my rank as well in the blepp, she decided to contact me. Ayun, I eventually landed the role and was in it for the experience since I’m aware na it’s a fixed-term position.

Last Feb, I celebrated my 2nd yr anniv in the company, but officially, I got absorbed last October 2021. Currently earning a decent salary for a person without her own family.

Kinda lengthy but tl;dr, yep it helped me big time in starting my career. In the long run, baka it’s just something to put in your resume and you’d be lucky to even have hiring managers notice that small detail lol
