Hey! I am 25, a fresh graduate, and is currently a Recruitment specialist in a retail company. I just graduated po last June 2026, was able to get hired for this position last July, but now I am planning to resign from my position.

Context, I graduated from Psychology and was able to study Architecture for 4 years din (because of my parents, kaya I shifted to the course I really like). So basically I was studying college for 7 years and wala nang rest rest, naghanap na agad ako ng trabaho.

I feel like I was only lucky to have gotten a job this quick, this was my first interview and kinuha ko na agad kasi nasilaw ako sa brands na meron sila, the pay wasn't good. Minimum wage ako for an end-to-end process recruitment type of work tapos retail pa.

Nung una, ang schedule namin is Mon-Sat tapos 8-6pm sched. 5pm kapag friday and sat. Ngayon naging compressed work week schedule na kami, everyday 8-6:45pm ang uwi. It was really draining me na kasi pakiramdam ko yung majority ng araw ko work lang talaga, and then the rest is prepping or commute, tapos wala na talaga akong energy sa gabi to do some hobbies, or even cook dinner minsan. 3 months in, pagod na ako agad. Balak pa magrelocate ng head office namin to an additional ride away from where I'm currently staying at so magiging tatlong sakay na siya ng jeep. Thinking of it makes me want to resign. Balak ko na talaga magpasa ngayong araw pero at the same time I really dont want to decide ng pagod. I know how tough the job market is today lalo na magdedecember na.. if ever magresign ako, magrerender naman ako ng maayos but then again alam kong ang pangit niya tingnan sa resume na buwan lang ang tinagal ko.

But also, I'm working a job that is end-to-end, HR pa kaya tapunan ng problema, tapos compressed work week sched, and then living in a minimum wage. Ang saya ko pa nung nag increase yung minimum sa ncr. The environment isn't really that toxic, yung mga kasamahan ko alam kong di ko lang kapareho ng wavelength but it's somehow tolerable naman kasi pinupunta ko lang naman don is work. Medyo bully sila sa aplikante minsan which I dont agree with kaya minsan nakakadagdag siya ng inis sa work but yun nga iniisip ko na lang na different wavelength. And kung ganito kalaking oras ng araw ko yung nakukuha tas di naman ako well-compensated plus wala namang increase after regularization, iniisip ko kung bat ko pa titiisin kung di na siya nakakabenefit pa sakin.. work is also good, I am able to deliver it well. Parang ang laki lang talaga ng nakukuha niyang araw at energy sakin para sa minimum na sahod.

After 1 year of being unemployed, countless applications and interviews to different roles na umabot til final. Laging ligwak and ghosted, nakapasok din sa wakas! To all unemployed rn, don't lose hope! Never give up, never surrender talaga! Totoo yung nasa waiting season kalang at ibibigay din sayo ni Lord yung deserve mo, hihigitan pa nya! Thank you Lord, you helped me survived my waiting season! Praying for all unemployed, job dust to all!! 🙏🏻✨

Hello! Fresh graduate here, just want to ask if required ba ung references? I'm an introvert kasi kaya although active naman ako sa orgs and internship ko, I doubt I can be someone memorable. Sa internship ko naman, sobrang busy nung supervisor ko kaya baka di raw siya makasagot sa tawag kaya di siya pumayag na mailagay sa references ko.

Note that I am an active member ng org ko since pag sali, although never really had a big position (palagi akong member ng comms, active volunteer din pag need ng personnel). Di lang din talaga ako pala talk huhu. Sa internship ko naman maganda rin performance ko 95% rating ko 🥲🥲

Paano kaya yon huhu required ba magkaroon and do you have tips on what can i do ;((

Hello. Please don't attack me, I'm just curious on to why there are HR na walang update sa mga applicants ng hiring process nila. I do understand naman po na busy lagi mga HR, lahat kasi ginagawa nila pero as an applicant myself, who got to the final stages na (negotiation of salary, exams and passed the final interviews basically), I think applicants deserved an update po because we gave our best effort naman po on our end, if may problema sa signatories and approvals or hindi pasok yung expected salary sa range ng job posting niyo or may napili talaga na iba na- please just tell us po. Minsan po kasi nag fofollow up mga applicants pero wala talagang response po e. Just a simple update, if hindi pa sure baka pwede po sabihin niyo to get back to us as soon as we can para atleast manlang may kausap parin kami on your end.

We did our part na po sa timely interviews, minsan may scheduled interview pero need imove kasi busy sa company niyo and I get it po so sana po, just a little compassion po sa mga nag apply. Most are already dealing with constant rejections, one from you will just be another charge to experience thing for us atleast we can closed that chapter and moved on. Better than being ghosted.

Yun lng po. no hate ☺️

After a year of employment, I wanted significant change in my career and decided to shift. I realized I was too comfortable at work. It was very easy and I did not feel the challenge I was so craving for. I wanted to go for a different role or a different company.

I found countless of job openings that I am very interested in and where I seem to be a fair candidate (in terms of educational background, skills, and knowledge)

I told the company that I had intentions of leaving, unless they are able to offer me a promotion or a role that was more challenging.

Don't get me wrong, my current role is already critical, to the extent that I became irreplaceable because of what I know that no one else in the company doesn't.

They needed me to stay in the same role. Instead, they gave me a 30+% raise, which was flattering, despite all their attempts to discourage me from leaving by saying that I had not enough credentials to demand what I wanted. They asked me to stay for at least 1 more year and told me that a raise will come again if I complete another 6 months.

Now, there are no changes in what I do, I just get paid significantly more. I am bored and don't see any career growth in the role. Although, this is rather financially rewarding.

Should I still look for a new job anyway?

so ayun, i recently graduated bs psych last july. ang hirap maghanap ng hr-related work as a fresh grad since almost all of them ang hanap ay with experience na. can’t really do bpo’s since mahirap i-change ang body clock ko, and i rlly just want to experience being in an hr whahahhaa na kahit ba 20k tatanggapin ko na basta magka-exp lang. nawa’y makahanap na this month 🤞

Okay, this might sound like im denying job interviews but honestly, i dont answer unknown phone numbers most of the time. I always feel like the unknown numbers are from jobs i applied but i still dont answer them unless they messaged me or scheduled a call. I get anxious kasi when its all of a sudden so i don't usually answer. I remember during my internships that I got called once by an unknown number bigla and i did not do well in that interview so to say. So i usually wait if they message me or email me instead of answering. Am I losing my chances of getting hired? Why do people call of a sudden without any warning? Ganun pa rin ba practice ng iba? last job ko kasi at least they messaged me before calling so i was better prepared. Should I just not include my number on my resume if I don't like cold calls?

Hello po. Nag-awol ako after 1 year of working. Ayoko na po kasi di na kaya ng mental health ko. Supposedly may RL sana ako pero pinagextend ako. Hindi ko na kaya kaya ayon awol. Iba iba kasi yung nassearch ko if lalabas po ba sa COE na Awol ako. Wala na akong mukhang ihaharap sa kanila rin dahil nandito na ako.
