Finished my final term, still can't land an Entry-Level Job.
Hello everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice lang since I've been feeling a bit discouraged with my job search.
I'm an Information Technology student who has already finished my final term. The only thing left is my graduation this coming October, and I already have my Certificate of Candidacy (COC).
I've been applying to different entry-level IT positions for the past few months, but so far wala talagang luck. I've submitted a lot of applications through LinkedIn, JobStreet, and Indeed. Unfortunately, I either get rejected, receive no response at all, or my application just stays under review.
I also passed the Civil Service Professional Exam, so I tried applying for entry-level government positions through the CSC Job Portal. However, most of the positions require a Transcript of Records (TOR) as part of the application requirements. Since I'm still waiting for my graduation in October, our university won't release our TOR until after we officially graduate, so I haven't been able to complete those applications either.
I've been trying to find work as early as possible because my family and I aren't in the best financial situation. I wanted to start earning instead of waiting until my graduation in October. Having a job would also help me save for my graduation expenses and contribute financially. I currently live with my mom's sibling, so becoming financially independent as soon as possible is a priority for me.
Any advice, recommendations, or even just sharing your own experience would mean a lot. Thank you po!
