I recently graduated with a BS Tourism Management degree and I’m currently looking for a job.
My work experience is:

• McDonald’s - Service Crew, 8 months
• Alorica - CSR (Financial Account), 4 months
• Starbucks - Part-time Barista, 4 months
+ Tourism internship experience in a local government tourism office

I know my experience is kind of all over the place and I don’t have years of experience in one field. However, I’m confident that I can handle customer service and fast-paced work.

I’m currently hoping to find a job around ₱30k/month. Is that realistic for my background, or am I aiming too high?

What positions/industries would you recommend I apply for if I want to reach around ₱30k while still being relatively new to the workforce?

Hi everyone! I graduated this August with a BS in Tourism Management, and honestly, I’m still unsure where to start with my career.

Here’s my work experience so far:
8 months - McDonald’s (Service Crew)
4 months - Alorica (CSR, Financial Account)
4 months - Starbucks (Barista)

I’m interested in working on a cruise ship eventually, but tbh, I’m not really sure yet what position I want. My main goal is to find a position with good pay and hopefully build relevant experience first.

For now, I’m planning to work here in the Philippines for a while before applying for cruise ship jobs.

My questions are:

1. Based on my experience, what cruise ship positions would I realistically qualify for?
2. What jobs can you recommend for me locally that can offer around ₱25-30k?
3. Is it better to gain experience in hotels first, or would my BPO/customer service experience also be useful?

Would really appreciate advice from people who are already working in the cruise industry or have gone through the application process. Thank you! 🙏
