Looking for IT job for Fresh Grad No IT-related exp

annebueno

Hi. baka po may alam kayo. Kakagrad ko lang nitong May 2018. Baka may alam kayong opening for IT na pwede fresh grad. Karamihan nakikita ko need exp. Thanks

Hi @annebueno . I suggest you get atleast 2 years of experience saten sa Pinas. Im not discouraging you to apply here in SG kahit fresh grad ka, but its just the reality here. We need certain advantage sa locals since ang tingin nila sa mga IT is expats, so they are looking for experience and some certifications, lalo na sa IT field. Get all the necessary experience and then, sabak na dito. Bata ka pa naman, so you can build your EQ there. Being an OFW is not all about skills, but emotionally dapat matatag na din tayo, lalo pa't minsan merong mga colleagues na bully and racist. Thats just my 2 cents kabayan. All the best!

may chance nmn siguro? kaso sa tindi ng competition, slim ang chance mo makaland ng job. ipon ka muna experience sa Pinas. pero kung pupunta ka dito na wala nmn gagastusin dhl may kamaganak dto, u can give it a try.

@annebueno Hello Anne, tama si @RDG mas recommended kung may experience ka na at may mga professional certifications ka. Anong field ba sa IT ang strength mo at may knowledge ka na, anong job role ang target mo?

@annebueno kuha ka muna experience diyan sa Pinas, unless rockstar dev ka with portfolio, verifiable skills, and OSS contributions, napaka slim almost zero na maka kuha ka ng IT job dito. Kahit may experienced nga hirap na eh.

I understand the excitement na kumita agad ng malaki, pero trust me it's better to start from the bottom and work your way up with experience, unless isa ka sa mga exceptions na rockstar developer na pagka graduate pa lang, which is dami na ngayon.

Hi @annebueno Fresh grad opportunities are usually for Locals and PR only since mababa ung inooffer na salary. Take note na you should be offered atleast 2600SGD to qualify for S PASS.

It's very unwise for an employer to hire a foreign Fresh Grad and pay them atleast 2600 SGD + levy.

@annebueno Tama sila sis, kuha ka muna work experience sa pinas. Isipin mo na lang na yung mga jobhunters din dito na andito na mismo sa SG at me previous work experience sa pinas, hirap na hirap talagang makahanap.
