Hi engrs. 23F undergrad here. Nag seself study po ako ng civil engineering during day offs.
Ask ko lang po, bakit po sa gilid ng parilya (footing) nilalagay yung poste at hindi sa gitna?
Yun lang naman hehe. Thanks
Ganito po ba talaga?
I had an initial interview through a phone call, and when they asked about my expected salary, I said ₱20k for a civil engineer position. I only have ojt experience pero license na ako. However, the company told me na ₱17k lang daw ang kaya nilang i-offer. Since desperado na rin akong makahanap ng work, I decided na i-grab na lang kahit below my expected salary.
After that, they invited me for a final interview. Since I'm from the province and their office is in Metro Manila, I had to travel all the way there and take a chance.
Pagdating ko sa office, I found out na hindi pala final interview ang gagawin that day. Instead, I was asked to take a technical examination. After the exam, they told me na ie-email na lang daw nila ang results. If I pass, saka pa lang ako mai-schedule for the actual final interview.
Apparently, they're still looking for other applicants, too. Mamimili pa daw sila.
Honestly, I felt disappointed and frustrated. I spent money on transportation, traveled for hours, and made an effort to show up, only to find out na hindi pa pala ako officially at the final interview stage.
23 M, I have 1 year and 6 mos. of experience in residential conatruction. Small company lang kami and dalawa lang engineers, ako at si boss. I mostly know the ways and process in residential from ground to finish. In 2028, I plan to resign and be a contractor myself. I offset the year so that I have more time to learn about the costing and other technical matters.
To my fellow contractors, what are your tips to a first time residential contractor.
Note: I mostly know problems within the site such as trial and error of manpower, consistency of suppliers, machine and tools investment (eg. mixer, vibrator, etc.)
Hello. 27M. 3 years licensed.
I was 23 nung pumasa ako ng board exams. 4 months rest, tapos nagwork na ako bilang isang Site Engineer sa isang General Contractor na affiliated sa DPWH dito sa Bulacan. 3 years na ako sa company na to and, ang masasabi ko lang since nag start ako, iisang klase lang ng project ang nahawakan ko. 12 horizontal projects, lahat iisang uri. Not to mention na hindi rin naging maganda ang pamamalakad ng company at ng senior ko since ang number 1 priority is kumita, hindi ang structural integrity. Ngayon I'm planning to resign, at pumasok sa different field, Kaso parang wala naman akong natutuhan sa naging work ko. Implementation, hindi perfect. Structural analysis and Estimates? Provided na ng DPWH.
Gusto ko lang irant na parang pakiramdam ko nasayang lang yung 3 years ko. Gusto ko lumipat ng work pero natatakot ako kasi part of me iniisip ko na given na mayroon na akong 3 years sa industry at limited parin ang alam ko, feel ko hindi ako marketable. Nakakalungkot lang.
Share ko lang. Kung may gusto kayong sabihin, feel free. Gusto ko lang ilabas.
Salamat.
Thoughts niyo about my situation, 26- Male, Civil engineer, I got a job offer in taiwan as an office engineer but having a minimum salary on upcoming year 2027, with 1500 NTD to 2000 NTD allowance kukunin ko ba ang offer. Parang lugi ba ako?
Hi, Engrs! Graduating student na po ako this coming July 2027 and nag cacanvass na rin ng magandang options for review. Plano kong mag full online muna for the first 6 months then review ulit ftf at a local review center didto samin. I'm currently stuck between GERTC and Margallo's for the online review. As far as I know kasi, parehong around 13k yung fee nila.
Any advice po? Thanks sa makakatulong!
