Hi! I’m trying to get into this industry, and I wanted to ask if require ba kumuha ng certifications like training and seminar or if purely experience is okay na? And gaano ka important eto to attract clients? Or maybe you guys, can share your starting journey sa industry na to?

Would greatly appreciate your insights, tips and advise.

Hello Wedding and Event Planners! I’d love to hear about how you got started in this business. Did you take any training programs or attend seminars? Are there specific classes available for this kind of work? Kamusta yung ganitong business, saturated na po ba? Pahirapan po ba sa pagbook ng clients? Would very much appreciate your responses :)

Problem/Goal: Hindi ko alam kung itutuloy ko pa ang wedding o hindi. Di ko rin alam kung saan ako kukuha ng 150k.

Context: So, I’m getting married in three weeks. My fiancé has a brother who’s in law school, and he recently came home from Baguio to help prepare for our wedding. Earlier, when I visited my fiancé’s place, we had a conversation. He asked about my current work—whether I’m still a Med VA, how I’m doing, and if I’ll ever get a promotion. In other words, he was curious about whether my career will progress, especially since my fiancé is a doctor.

For context, I’m a Biology graduate and was supposed to continue to med school, but due to financial reasons I wasn’t able to. I met my fiancé while working as a nurse assistant in a hospital here in the Philippines. Right now, I’ve been unemployed for a month, and last year I was laid off and spent eight months without work. After his questions, those feelings of inferiority came back. I started wondering if I deserve this, if I should marry my fiancé, because I’m not even sure about my career path. I feel confused, like I don’t have direction.

To make things harder, I can’t help but compare myself—the girlfriend of my fiancé’s brother is a bookkeeper earning six digits. She’s been with her client for more than four years and even got promoted. I haven’t talked about this to anyone, not even to my fiancé. I have no plans to tell him because I don’t want him to know that I’m unemployed again. Another problem weighing on me is my share of the wedding expenses. We have a wedding budget of 500k, and my share is 150k. I’m not even sure if I can contribute the full amount for my part of the expenses.

This was intended to be a post on OffMyChest, but I’m still not eligible to share there. Kaya dito na lang muna.

Hi! I don’t have a background in IT or in my current work, but I’m planning to transition into a career as a Data Analyst. I’d like to ask: is it possible to get a job in this field if I self‑teach using online courses and resources? How challenging will it be for me, and is the role still in demand now that AI is becoming more common?

Hello! I was unemployed last year from March to October and then nagkawork nung November, required pa rin po ba magfile ng tax? Also, di ako nakapagpasa nitong May 15 if required nga. Pls need your guidance. Thanks
