engineering intern
Php 12k salary for fresh grads? Ano ‘to, allowance? Fresh grad ako with experience(internships) pero ganito lang ang offer? Sabi ko sa HR, “Sorry, pero hindi po kaya yung salary.” Naiirita siguro siya, pero paano ba mabubuhay sa ganitong sahod? Obvious na red flag na agad. Ano ba best way para maipakita agad sa employer ang value ko kahit fresh grad pa lang??

Respectfully declined nalang the offer, tell the offer is too low for their records and search for another opportunity.
Since you are a fresh grad, whenever mag aapply ka always read and understand the full job description. You can tell your experience relevant to the job description. Pwede ka din mag highlight ng napag aralan nyo in lign with the job description. Mostly behavioral skills ang titignan sayo, so learn how to present yourself. Kung pano ka makisama, how do you manage your time,etc

Tama yan wag kang papayag sa below minimum lalo na kung college grad ka baka under agency yan kaya ganyan kababa go for direct hirings at tiyaga lang sa pag apply makakahanap ka din na fit sayo sadyang binabarat lang din kasi pag nalaman na fresh grad with zero experience

kung fresh grad ka, goodluck sa paghahanap ng work na babagay sa standards na gusto mo. I started with a 13,500 salary on an engineering consultancy firm na based sa Makati. Tiniis ko at inaral lahat ng dapat kong aralin. nakapagabroad din. Pagbalik dito sa pinas, mas mataas na worth ko throughout my 12years career span. Gudlak! kaya nyo yan.. laban lang.. tyaga lang and diskarte

Sana nga nag BPO o call center nalang ako kesa tinangap yung startup company ako literal nag build up lahat pero katiting lang sahod ko kaya never again kaya mas ok narin maging choosy kahit fresh grad palang mapang abuso din kasi iba diyan kasi alam nilang may kakagat

Hindi ko alam dati na ang hirap pala maghanap ng trabaho kasi dati noong kaka graduate ko palang sinabihan ako ng company no pinag internshipan ko na sa kanila na mag trabaho pero hindi ko pinansin kasi ayaw ko talaga sa course ko at sa field ng work ko so after ko maka graduate nasa bahay lang ako tumutulong sa parents ko. 7 years later gusto ko na may sariling buhay at mag work on my own so nag decide ako na mag apply ng work at heto na ngayon ang hirap pala talaga.

Cant blame them kasi if you start a business mare-realize mo din bakit ganyan magpasahod mga businesses dito sa atin. Best you could is respectfully decline the offer and keep on applying for companies that will match your expected salary.

With over a decade of experience as a recruiter, I encourage you to highlight your accomplishments, whether it's a school project or achievements during your internship. Be specific about your tasks and, if possible, include facts or figures to support them. When declining an offer, maintain professionalism and respect by doing so via email. This approach can help you build strong connections and potentially gain referrals from other companies. 😇
