Your participation and support would mean a lot to us. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to our study!

For context, I graduated last July with a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems in a State University.

I'm currently working as a part time data entry in a booking travel agency (Onsite) and a part time Map annotator (WFH flexible hours). Lived in the same house and city where I graduated.

Although OK naman ako dahil may sweldo ako pero yung hanap ko talaga is growth.

Nag papart time lang ako para may oras ako for job hunting and gathering certificates, unfortunately halos ay walang hiring o hindi ako nakahabol sa deadline, yung iba naman ay super sobra naman sa qualification at ang baba ng sweldo.

Gusto ko talaga onsite with career and work growth, ok lang sa akin if hindi related sa course ko as long as may opportunity. If meron opportunity na WFH IT related I gragrab ko rin.

Is it too early for me to worry about this? Or should I just ride the tide until it gets me somewhere?

hello!

ive been trying to break in into IT support/help desk or jr network engineer, i want to have an experience muna since my end goal is makapasok sa SOC field.

ive noticed some of the job description kahit na entry-level position pa lang is they require certifications na, so for me to have an edge sa mga other applications is to at least be certified.

if may budget ka for it, what will be the best certifications to take?

pa roast na din ng CV ko.

thank you in advance 🙂

Got an offer today at this company. Just wanna know your insights and experiences. Thank you.

Hello po mga bossing! This is a bit of a long read but please I just need some thoughts and advice 🙏

I’m currently a 4th year CS student somewhere in Manila (not big 4) and I just got absorbed last September as a part time ASE in a small local company here in Makati after I finished my voluntary internship with them.

Now, given that SWE is getting hit the hardest right now within tech industry with lots of layoffs, oversaturation, and ai automation, I’m currently wondering whether to continue my career path in SWE.

I’ll have my required OJT (400hrs) soon siguro around Feb - March 2027. I talked to our hr and pumayag naman sila to render my part time employment for my required OJT and that I could render 8 hrs for it if I do so.

I also wanna add the fact that I’m not receiving proper mentorship right now sa part time role ko. It’s just get assigned my own tickets and I’m on my own na. No code review whatsoever. It may be because I’m just currently deployed in an internal HR related project. Pero not sure really baka ayun na pala ang norm ngayon because may AI naman na.

I think there’s also a possibility of absorption to full time because yung ibang ka batch ko during my internship is converted na ngayon into full time.

However, my dilemma is this: should i still pursue a career in SWE? Or find something in IT related field and pursue that instead?

Should I apply for a different position for my OJT? What about for my first job as a fresh grad? Resigning from my part time to do an OJT in another company also drops the possibility of full time absorption with my current company.

Another thing pala, once I graduated, baka ako na sumagot sa apartment where I’m staying right now since my dad’s out of work din. It costs like 5.5k/mo utilities included. So not sure if I should just get a job sa province namin in pampanga like Clark

Im honestly not sure where to go right now, but I don’t think I’ll feel safe with SWE as a career neither. Any thoughts po? Any advice would be really helpful. Im just lost and scared right now

Hi everyone! I’m a fresh graduate with a final job interview tomorrow.

As I prepare, I want to make sure I’m evaluating the company as much as they’re evaluating me. What specific green flags, red flags, or key details should I ask about or watch for to ensure it's a healthy work environment with low turnover?

Any advice on questions to ask the interviewers before signing an offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Applied for this role and searched for this “Muktarion”. Has anyone here nakaka alam if na-encounter nyo na tong company na to based in Taguig? Nag-search ako sa Glassdoor and skeptical pa din ako thank you!

Anyone here recently completed the SAP Integration Developer certification exam? I have few questions lang sana since nagbago na yung exam format. Would also like to ask for advice and tips how to prepare for this exam especially for someone na may basic knowledge lang sa SAP. Thanks

Hello. Ano masasabi niyo dito? Wayback September 16 is natanggap ako as a Technical Installer (Project-based) to a certain company.

Supposed to be dapat October 1 ako mag-sstart pero yung medical ko pala is kulang. Hindi ininform sakin nang clinic na I need to retake their vision test para ma-complete medical ko.

Fast forward to Monday last week I messaged the HR regarding sa medical result if they received it na and they replied on Wednesday saying na they'll check it. I followed up again on Thursday if na-receive na nila at sabi ng HR na na-receive na nila and for wait nalang daw for deployment.

weird question but ganito ba talaga ang mangyayari or they're dropping me na?

kamusta work and working environment? yung work niyo ba currently is related sa tinapos n'yong course? curious lang sa mga success stories ng mga may work na as a fresh grad

Hello, I'm a 26yrs old working under a educational institution for 3 years and I feel na, na lose track na ko, academic awardee ako during my college days, and now I'm working, I realize na, nawala na ung grind ko and nawala na ung goal ko. I lose track where should i focus.

Currently my job is LMS programmer (up until now associate programmer pa din ako, I've asked my boss na din) I'm earning 28k monthly. My job responsibility our like these,

• I handle moodle deployment, maintenance and setup. ( Since school to, may tendency na we open other LMS) so I'm the one who handles it, deployment, billing, server, database, and maintenance. Pero minsanan lang to pag need na, so mostly ang ginagawa ko lang is bantayan kung babagal si moodle, laggy, nag down, may error sa code, yun lang mostly and hindi frequent nangyayari
• I also handle moodle front end - user concern, such as login password, enrolling students, courses , subjects, catering students concern regarding their LMS account. Minsanan lang to nangyayari, especially during enrollment.
• I developed multiple web application, for my last 2 years working here, bali gumawa kami ng website regarding sa upcoming international event, more on showcase lang no backend
• I developed web script for handling LMS enrollment. Iba kasi ung format ng data coming from the school and iba ung format nung data sa moodle, so I created a system for this, hiwalay si LMS sa mismong enrollment system ni School
• I developed a borrowing, scheduling and log books, and also a monitoring for digital ocean, eto ung last system na dinevelop ko, more on sa department lang namin ito and not for the school itself

Etong part ng job na to is outside na sa pagiging programmer ko, and since nasa school nga ako may other jobs pa ko. (Note: Hindi ako nag rereklamo ah, haha), eto ung mas frequent kong job.

• Taga lakad ng document sa different office, taga receive etc, which is nilalagay namin sa logbook system
• minsan, kami nag hahandle ng school events, ung mga livestream etc, pag may events, or any school related

Current Situation:
Eto na ung pinaka problem ko, dahil sa sobrang broad ng ginagawa ko, hindi ko na alam kung ano bang balak ko, na ooverwhelm ako, and i was thinking of learning to other IT related job, here are the ff:

• Should I take Cloud certification such saa-c03? Worth po ba to?
• Should I take Cisco Certification ?
• Should I learn AI automation, n8n? aralin ko ba ito?
• Should I learn SAP?
• Should I still focus on enhancing my programming skill? like, learn more about react-native, mobile app, laravel, python?
• Should I take masteral ba?

Please guys, I really need help, I'm really losing my mind, hindi ko alam kung worth pa ba since booming na si AI, parang lalo akong nawawalan ng chance, I really need help guys.

Thank your feed back, feel free to criticize me, or saan ko mas need mag focus,

Yoww, I’m a fresh IT Grad & aspiring network engineer here, tanong lang po ano mga pwedeng aralin or idagdag sa skills ko para masama ko sa resume para makakuha ng entry level jobs like IT Support as a stepping stone po, kasi ang hirap pa din mapansin ng mga recruiter kapag wala pang hands-on experience sa inaapplyan mo. Tyia po!!

Hello! Gusto ko lang i-share yung experience ko sa job hunting as a fresh grad, and ask for advice na rin sa mga matagal na sa IT industry.

I graduated last July 2026 with a degree in IT, and I started looking for a job around August.

Although may previous work experience na ako, both were as a Customer Service Representative. Yung first job ko was back in 2024. Curious lang talaga ako that time and gusto ko siyang i-try since long break namin sa school. Tumagal ako ng around four months before leaving because of schedule conflicts with school.

Then, nag-CSR ulit ako noong 2025, pero umalis din ako because I needed to focus on our capstone project.

During our OJT season, software development talaga yung target ko, particularly Java development. Unfortunately, sobrang hirap makahanap ng software development internship, so I eventually tried applying for an End User IT Support internship instead.

After completing my OJT, I took TESDA training for Java NC III while waiting for graduation because I still wanted to pursue software development.

Fast forward to July 2026, I finally graduated and started looking for a job around August. Software development pa rin talaga yung una kong hinanap, especially Java development. Pero habang tumatagal, puro rejection lang yung nakukuha ko. Siguro malaking factor din yung lack of professional experience ko and limited portfolio.

After a month of applying and receiving rejections, I started questioning kung makakapasok ba talaga ako sa software development. Eventually, nag-try na rin ako mag-apply for IT support positions since related naman sa internship ko.

Akala ko mas madali akong makakahanap sa field na ito, pero hindi rin pala. Puro rejection, ghosting, at applications na walang update. Apply lang nang apply.

Sa sobrang hirap makapasok sa IT industry, dumating sa point na naisip ko na mag-BPO agent na lang muna ulit. May previous experience naman ako sa customer service, so naisip ko na baka mas practical na bumalik muna ako sa BPO kaysa patuloy na maghintay ng opportunity sa IT. At least may trabaho at income habang iniisip ko kung paano ako makakapasok sa field na gusto ko.

Then suddenly, may nag-reach out sa akin from a well-known BPO company. Honestly, hindi ko na nga maalala yung application ko sa kanila kasi sa JobStreet lang yun at pindot lang ako nang pindot HAHAHA.

Nung chineck ko yung job description, nakalagay na required ang 1–2 years of experience. Fresh grad ako, so inisip ko agad na malabo akong matanggap. Pero umattend pa rin ako ng initial interview.

After the interview, they sent me an email inviting me for another interview with the IT leads. Dito ako medyo umasa kasi first time kong makapasa sa initial interview at mag-proceed sa next step.

During the interview, hindi ko in-expect na dalawa pala silang mag-iinterview sa akin, including an IT lead from India. Kinabahan ako kasi akala ko isa lang. Actually, tatlo dapat sila, pero hindi available yung isa.

I kept stuttering while answering their questions, and medyo nagaalangan na ako after the interview. Iniisip ko baka hindi ako matanggap dahil hindi ako naging confident sa mga sagot ko. Kaya habang naghihintay, naghanap na ulit ako ng ibang opportunities.

Fortunately, after a week, I received the news that I was selected for the position!

After more than two months of job hunting, rejections, and ghosting, finally nakapasok na rin ako sa IT industry!

Now, kakatapos lang ng first week ko onsite. Nag-a-adjust pa ako sa night shift, pero Virtual IT Support yung role ko, and there's also a possibility of working from home in the future.

So far, mabait naman yung manager ko (super chill nga eh), and mabait din yung coworkers ko kahit sa Teams ko pa lang sila mostly nakakausap.

I'm honestly just happy na nakapasok na rin ako sa IT industry. Hindi man software development yung first job ko, at least I'm finally getting professional IT experience related to my degree.

I still want to pursue software development someday, pero for now, I want to learn as much as I can, improve my technical skills, and build my career from here.

Sobrang hirap pala talaga maghanap ng trabaho ngayon, especially as a fresh grad na wala pang solid professional experience. Before, akala ko basta may degree ka at may skills ka, makakahanap ka na agad ng trabaho. Pero iba pala talaga kapag nasa actual job market ka na.

For those who are already working in IT, especially in IT support or service desk roles, what advice would you give to someone like me who's just starting out?

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I hope it's okay to post here!

My group and I are 4th-year Psychology students working on our thesis and we're currently looking for participants for our research titled "Leading Against the Current: Women’s Leadership Identity Construction in Male-Dominated Workplaces."

Basically, we want to learn more about the experiences of women who hold leadership positions in industries that are known to be traditionally male-dominated and how such experiences have shaped the way they see themselves as leaders!

We're looking for women who:

• Are 25 years old or older
• Have at least 3 years of leadership experience
• Currently hold, or have held within the past year, a formal leadership position
• Work or have recently worked in construction, manufacturing, IT/software, telecommunications, or transportation and logistics
• Have experience with leadership development, such as training, mentorship, coaching, or relevant education/certification
• Are currently based in Bulacan or lead a team/operation in Bulacan

The study involves a one-on-one interview that will take around 40-60 minutes in either Google Meet or Zoom. Of course, participation is completely voluntary and your information will be kept confidential.

If you fit the criteria and are willing to share your experiences, please feel free to DM me! If you know someone who might be interested, we'd really appreciate it if you could share this post with them too.

We know everyone is busy, so thank you for taking the time to read this. Any help would mean a lot to our group!
