I requested na around July 20 pa yung start date ko para magkaroon ako ng at least two weeks to complete all my pre-employment requirements, medical, police clearance, and the rest of the documents.

To be honest, sobrang nao-overwhelm ako sa buong process. First time ko kasing mag-undergo ng pre-employment na may medical since yung first job ko didn’t require one. Kakagraduate ko lang din last year, so this is only my second job, and halos lahat ng requirements na ‘to bago sa’kin.

Akala ko simple lang siya, pero habang inaasikaso ko na, ang dami palang kailangan i-consider finding an accredited clinic, figuring out the requirements, scheduling everything, at making sure wala akong ma-miss. Nakaka-pressure din kasi gusto ko maayos kong matapos lahat before my first day. Yung next company ko didn’t require me to go to a specific clinic or hospital para mag pa medical basta accredited and that’s making me overwhelmed kasi nag try ako mag set a sched near sakin and they were asking for a referral letter or an endorsement na ‘di naman ako binigyan ng HR.

I’m really grateful for the opportunity, pero at the same time kinakabahan din ako. Adulting really hits differently kapag ikaw na mismo yung nag-aasikaso ng lahat for the first time.

Sa mga dumaan na sa ganito, paano niyo na-manage yung pre-employment requirements niyo, especially the medical exam? Any tips or things you wish you knew before your first pre-employment process would really help.

Ang hirap pala talaga maghanap ng trabaho ngayon, especially sa graphic design and multimedia field. Sa previous company ko kasi, naka-label ako as “Social Media Manager”, pero ang actual na ginagawa ko naman is more on Multimedia Design, graphic design, content creation, video editing, and other creative tasks. Mali ko rin kasi na naging kampante ako dito sa work ko kasi dito ako nag intern and pagkagraduate ko last year inabsorb din ako kagad.

Ngayon, ilang days na lang bago matapos contract ko dahil magsasara na yung company. Nakaka-stress kasi hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong nase-secure na next job. Ang mas nakakabigat pa, after mawalan ng trabaho, around 30 days pa bago ko makuha yung back pay at iba pang dapat kong matanggap.

Hindi ko maiwasang ma-anxious. Feeling ko napag-iiwanan ako kahit alam ko naman na nag-aapply ako at ginagawa ko yung best ko. Gusto ko sana maging independent financially, pero nahihiya na rin akong humingi ulit ng financial tulong sa dad ko habang naghahanap ng work.

Minsan naiisip ko kung may mali ba sa portfolio ko, sa experience ko, o sobrang hirap lang talaga ng market ngayon.

Nag apply kasi ako ng Gold BDO card kasi yung current card ko ShopMore lang. Dumating siya kahapon tapos kaninang around 1PM may tumawag sakin, “from BDO” daw. Red flag #1 palang dapat yung number lang gamit pero tanga mode tayo today kasi nasa work ako tapos sabay sabay ginagawa 😭

Inask nila if nareceive ko na raw yung card ko tapos sinabi na NAFFL na daw and may cashback promo. Sobrang overwhelming nung kausap kasi dire-diretso magsalita habang inaask ako saan daw issend yung cashback sa online banking. Habang distracted ako, sinisingit na pala yung pag ask ng username, last 4 digits, hanggang sa OTP.

And YES. Naibigay ko yung OTP 😀🔫

Sobrang disappointed ako sa sarili ko kasi aware naman ako sa OTP scams. Tipong ako pa yung laging “wag kayo magbigay OTP” person sa pamilya 😭 Marunong naman ako makapansin ng phishing/scams usually kaya mas nakakabobo sa feeling na ako mismo nahuli.

Thankfully nasalo muna ng dad ko yung nawala for now and babayaran ko nalang siya eventually. Pero grabe talaga yung stress at self-hatred after HAHAHA parang gusto ko nalang maging munggo.

Nakakatakot lang isipin kung pano nila alam details ko at pano nila alam na bagong dating yung card ko. Dun talaga ako napapaisip hanggang ngayon.

Anyway ayun lang. Ingat kayo please lalo pag overwhelmed or busy kayo. Kahit gaano ka ka-aware, pag natimingan ka talaga, possible ka pa rin mabiktima.

And lastly, sana mamatay na lahat ng scammer sa mundo
