Dear applicants, PLEASE BE PROFESSIONAL kahit konti 😅 If you’ve changed your mind about the job, just say so. Hindi nakakahiya ‘yun. Mas nakakahiya yung biglang wala na lang paramdam. Sayang oras at effort ng recruiters. Kahit simpleng “Sorry, I’ll pass.” will do 👌

Been laid-off, ghosted, and lost clients, but I didn’t give up. Mid 2024, nawalan ako ng work. Puro rejection, walang stable income. May 2025 may nakita akong promising job, pero walang reply. Nag-follow up after 2 weeks… ayun, na-interview at natanggap! 🥹 Minsan matagal dumating ang win, pero darating. Sino rin dito dumaan sa ganito?

60K SAHOD PERO AT WHAT COST? 😩 Lagi ko nababasa: “Grateful for 60k-100k/month” pero di kasama sa post yung burnout, walong kliyente, at wala nang weekend. Okay lang mag-share, pero minsan parang flex na lang para ma-validate. Kayo ba? Na-iinspire or nai-insecure pag nakakakita ng ganito?

“Your expected salary is TOO HIGH” Grabe, I thought it was okay to expect 20–23k with 1 year of internship experience. Pero sabi ng employer, “You’re a fresh grad—parang masyado pang mataas.” But isn’t internship still real work? May OT, may pressure, and sometimes, not even paid. Real talk: were my expectations too high, or was that just unfair? 😅

NAKAKASUKA NA WORK KO 😭 Hi! I’m 26F working sa BPO for 5 years, earning 45k-55k. Not bad, pero burnout na ako. Laging puyat, laging pagod, parang nauubos na ‘yung sarili ko. Iniisip ko na rin mag-abroad kahit factory work. Worth it kaya? Sayang ba ‘yung experience ko dito? May naka-try na sa inyo mag-shift ng career abroad? 🙏

“Recruiters just want to lowball you” I DONT THINK SO! Sobrang daming bad advice online, yung tipong “wag mong sabihin agad ang expected salary mo para di ka malowball.” Pero here’s the truth: competent recruiters from legit companies are not out there to screw you. Gusto ka nilang i-hire. May KPI rin sila. Right? Or may ibang experience ka?

Learning Potential: Ability to grow with the company and adapt to new challenges 3. Values Alignment: Resonance with the company’s purpose and values 4. Attitude: Enthusiasm and professionalism shown during interviews Also Watch: Stand Out and Beath the HR Silence 🔗 https://bit.ly/4n1vWTd

AKALA KO MADALI LANG MAG-RESIGN 😵. Umalis ako sa 5-year toxic job ko, walang plano, walang ipon. Akala ko madali maghanap ulit, pero halos 3 months akong broke, bed rotting, halos madedepress. Ngayon, finally hired kahit agency lang. Doble sahod, WFH, bait pa client! 🥹 Kayo ba, nagka-resign-regret phase din?

UUBUSIN KA NG CORPORATE LIFE, PROMISE 😩 6 years ago, puyat, pagod, at underpaid, yan ang cycle ko sa office life. Wala akong kakilala, wala akong backup plan, pero sumugal akong maging VA. At first, walang kliyente, puro iyak, pero dahan-dahan, things turned around. Ngayon? I’m working remotely in Singapore. Di pa ako milyonarya pero hawak ko na oras ko, tahimik na utak ko. Kung naghihintay ka ng sign… eto na ’yun. ✨

FIRST SWELDO KO AT 26, AFTER YEARS NA LUGMOK 😭 2019 pa ako graduate pero ngayon lang ako nagka-work. Hindi dahil tam@d, may mild schizophrenia ako. Ilang taon akong lugmok sa bahay, sobrang hirap hallucinations, walang tulog. Akala ko wala nang chance makabangon. Pero this year, tinapangan ko. Na-hire ako, now earning 24k/month! 😭 Hindi man malaki, pero proud ako sa sarili ko. Kung ikaw rin, feeling mo wala nang pag-asa, meron pa, swear. 🫶
