Companies that accept fresh grads..

[niQQQ]

I'm a fresh grad and as i search jobs online, MOST if not all companies are hiring people with experience (of course..)

But can some one help us find companies that hire fresh grads specially in IT? I'm hoping this thread will help my fellow fresh grads in pursuing their career in any field.

Thanks!

[chinito15]

Ya, count me in, Im also a fresh grad looking for a good company...

i was given an opportunity, pero di ka papasok as trainee,

*** does it mean pag applied ka na hindi ka trainee? sabak ba sa gyera agad?

di pa clear sakin *** gnyang bagay T_T

[niQQQ]

I hope veterans of the workforce industry would be able to help neophytes like us.

To freshies, this is our thread! Let's help each other. Give out the companies you applied for, whether you were successful applying or not.

Up!

[paupau29]

im in. ang hirap maghanap no?

@chinito15: palaisipan din saken yan haha. ano ba, pag ba walang 'trainee' tag sa job position, kelangan alam mo na *** mga requirements nla? grabe. oh please, .NET?? nkakalungkot haha.

[amatoy88]

hanap kayo sa jobsreet.com..
fresh grad din ako

[niQQQ]

@chinito15: palaisipan din saken yan haha. ano ba, pag ba walang 'trainee' tag sa job position, kelangan alam mo na *** mga requirements nla? grabe. oh please, .NET?? nkakalungkot haha.

hi guys. hirap no? lalo no ka kung sa IT field. kasi kelangan talaga technically skilled or experienced ka. IT din ako eh, fresh grad and still looking..

ANYWAY, tingin ko, basta sinabi sa ad na they "accept fresh grad" understood na yun na ittrain ka nila OR if not, they won't expect Highly of you.

pero ang problema, sobrang bihira ang nag aaccept ng fresh grad.


@atoy: san companies ka nag apply?

[bliss15]

well i noticed nga na mahirap maghanap ng work pag fresh grad ka
pero lam ko maraming opening for IT ngyon kahit fresh grads

[AbulugAdventure]

Kung programmer trainee, marami-rami. Pero kung networking, yan ang pahirapan talaga.

[woopy007]

ako din po. huhuhu. IT din ang gusto ko pero ece me. may mga ece ba dito???

[paupau29]

e meron nga company, sa jobstreet at jobsdb ko nakita. sabi fresh grads are encouraged to apply. so ako naman e d cge. tapos 3 kami, nagexam. .net saka sql tapos d ako natanggap. 3 hours na hands on. pfffft e kc naman e.. bat ba ko d marunong ng .net na yan. btw, sa dbsoft philippines yan.

@amatoy88: yeah.. ganon na nga hanap2 sa jobstreet, jobsdb.

[paupau29]

gusto ko kc talaga ng trainee position.. :( aminado naman kc ako talaga na d ako magaling okay. marunong lang **** ko pero with all humility i must say na d ako qualified as 'skilled'. sa mga katulad ko *** gusto, try nyo *** sa macquarie. in process ako dun last week lang ako nagapply

[niQQQ]

i've tried Macquarie.
did the initial interview: PASSED
did the exam: FAILED.

Hindi ko kinaya yung exam. Mahirap. (para sa akin.) Genius lang ata nakaka pasok dun. hehe

Pero sayang talaga, ganda nung opportunity. You guys might want to try it: google the "macquarie" website and go to careers page. search for: "IT GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES." (that's the title of the job position)

good luck! :)

[paupau29]

@niQQQ: TALAga?? e at least nakapasok ka e ako nga d pa ko tntawagan dor interview. although nagemail naman saken yung HR sb inaacknowledge nila yung application ko. e wala pang progress. d kaya tapos na? tingin mo?

[zweihanderfaust]

i'm looking for people to apply as management trainees for our company ... this is not an IT company but whoever finishes the training have first dibs on the IT supervisor position .. our first two management trainees are eyeing the supervisory positions for the other deparments.

we accept fresh grads and we are not particular with the finished course since the required skills for the position will be acquired during the training.

if any of you guys are interested just pm so that i can drop you the whole info on the position and our company.

thanks!

[jpbm]

ako din naghahanap ng job, fresh graduate po ako,
help naman dyan

[niQQQ]

ako din naghahanap ng job, fresh graduate po ako,
help naman dyan

don't lose hope, we'll help each other, that's why I created this thread. To others, specially fresh grads you have already landed their first jobs, kindly share the company where you applied, or where you currently work.. so that we'll have idea on which companies to pursue..

Thanks!!

my share:
Macquarie Group: I applied for the "IT GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES," passed the interview, but not the exam.

Maybe you guys wanna try. Goodluck and keep us posted! =)

[jpbm]

@niQQQ

tell something about the exam, mahirap ba?

[blitzfreak]

I believe for fresh grads, parang it boils down to:

1. Where you graduated
2. Your Credentials (latin honors, consistent dean's lister etc.)
3. Where you had your OJT
4. How you composed/created your resume (format wise and how straight to the point it was created

I suggest you also look for all possible channels in job hunting not only relying through Jobstreet/JObsDB. When I was job hunting, I checked out my university's website which lists all companies sponsoring the 3X a year job fair (ok napaka obvious ba kung saan ako nag graduate). I check each of the listed sponsors' website in the internet and look for the "Careers" link in each of them. Most companies dont really post their openings in Jobstreet/JobDB. They "lurk" and check out potential candidates and they'd be the one to give you a call if they think you're fit. Also, ask your other friends from the upper batches (through organizations nung college if active kayo noon) and ask them if they have openings for fresh grads.

Be patient lang with the job hunt. And if you're a fresh grad..the only advice our prof told us is that...huwag daw muna mag settle sa Call center job (no offense) kasi mahirap na makahanap ng job in relation to your course if nag Call center kayo agad. Patience lang :)

HTH

[chinito15]

ako ok PO sa programming trainee, hardware , *** anu po IT job, sana may mga mkapag offer ng job opening.. especialy sa UP Ayala Hub.. malapet kc ko don... ease of traffic :D

[chinito15]

@ blitzfreak ako din ayw ko mg call center, ng apply ako sa convergys nun e , bagsak sa 1st level interview plng...

and sb ** samen ng prof namen.. call center shud be the last resort...

i really love to be either programmer/webmaster...

[chinito15]

one thing i am afraid of applying is the exam part... what if the questions are like out of your programming range... honestly i never tried .net sql, i only know java, j2me,jscript,html.... i always remember how i chilled when being interviewed @ convergys T_T

so just stay active in our thread, and share *** ng openings n alam nio hehe... tnx.. ad me up in Ym if u want... juZ Pm

[deeperdigger]

Dun nsa company ko before di masyado choosy yun nga lang mababa din magpasahod...
Automatic Centre, Sogo Home and Office Centre, Blims Fine Furniture.
For IT grads ang alam ko lang na medyo related eh yung sa MIS.
For Business/Management uhm perhaps MT or Store Supervisor.
For designer/artist like me, of course same job
For Marketing you can be a Marketing Assistant or merchandiser/trainer
For accountancy, auditing jobs
For undergrads, sales and promo jobs

The office is located at 167 EDSA Mandaluyong, beside VRP Hospital near Crossing. I think they only accept walk-ins during Tuesday and Friday.

referrals anyone? hehe

[onthego]

i think this link to jobs for IT fresh grads (http://www.jobsdb.com.ph/PH/EN/V6/JS/JobSearch/JobSearch.asp?PN=JobListing&fulltext=1) might be useful to you guys. :)

Of course, if you search through JobsDB.com (http://www.jobsdb.com.ph), you're likely to find many other job opportunities fitting your abilities and training. :)

Additionally, it's also good to create a network, ask people in IT about openings. You can also keep tabs on top companies and follow industry trends.

[niQQQ]

is it just me but i get ZERO call from applications i made from JobsDb. LOL. But if apply in jobstreet, at least SOME companies call..

The response-call ratio of jobstreet vs. jobsdb (for me) is 5:0.

LOL.

[paupau29]

saken *** na mtrace kung sa jobstreet o jobsdb nla ko nakikita hahahah except nalang pag sinabi mismo saken.

[niQQQ]

hahahaha oo nga.

anyone here applied sa PEOPLE DEPOT? i believe they are headhunters.

[deeperdigger]

Below are some job search sites you can try other than jobstreet and jobsdb:

careerjet.ph
imumo.com
phil-job.net
jobquest.ph
bestjobs.ph
careerguide.ph (Philippine Star)
jobmarketonline.com (Inquirer)

You can upload your resume in the above-mentioned sites and sign up for job-alerts that will be sent to your email.

You can also try the official website of your Local Government Unit (in my case marikina.gov.ph). Also check out the Placement Office of your College/University.

Some cities/municipalities also have PESO office (dunno what it stands for but they do help people find vacancies).

job fairs can also help, however be aware that around 70-80% of the booths/participants there are from BPO/Call Center Industry. So if you are quite hesitant to apply in such companies, think twice before going. Better yet, check the list of participants.

congrats, pero nahihirapan ka pa din? imagine na lang kameng wala pang certifications... try and try lang.. tip ko magpasa ka din sa headhunters (yung sa jobstreet, yung mga The Advertiser.) mag pasa ka din sa People Depot ng resume mo..

kasi 2 headhunters na tumawag sakin, kaso they prefer CCNA Certified, kahit fresh grads.. kung ako in-endorse padin sa client nila, mas lalo ka na. (although i did not get the job.) Pero kung certified ako, siguro ma kukuha ko yun.. maging ma diskarte ka lang sa pag hanap.. :)

at tsaka dont be scared kapag nakita mo sa jobstreet na, requires at least 1 year experience.. tip ko, mag pasa ka padin! wala naman mawawala. basta ba alam mo or familiar ka sa technical requirements nung job posting eh.. pag nakita nila certification mo, i coconsider ka nun.. ako hindi ko pinapansin yung experienced required, pag gusto ko position pasa padin ako resume haha.. and believe it or not, 'some' of those positions, na "under consideration" ako or na interview..
sa panahon ngayon, we need to be assertive. lalo na tayung fresh grad.

basta ba you have the skills to back up your being assertive eh. diskarte lang yan. gogogo ! *okay*

Hi you may want to try a call center career?

Here are a few reasons why.

1) You get to develop your english communication skills
2) You get to develop your self confidence
3) BPO and Call center industry is getting bigger, thus giving you better chances to work your way up the ladder
4) Starting salaries will provide you the luxury of moving around with extra money, since rates of call center companies are higher than regular day jobs.
5) Call center companies these days are offering day time posts, giving you the benefits of both worlds. high pay and comfortable skeds.

Over all, being involved with a call center company provides you the training and pay that will propel your career to a globalizing Philippines.

[purple_icah]

me too..IT fresh grad..amf super toughung competition :((

more on web developing din ako

[preciouzgem_15]

hehe..just like u dumaan din ako jan and it really is hard finding a job, and not just a job but a job that is right for your skills..anyway here's some suggestions..

1. never stop searching..sometimes d job u want isn't d job 4u...right now, maybe because lack of experience and proper training,or because you just end up waiting of possible calls and forget to still look for some more..remember a fresh grad needs experience eventhogh sometimes it's very far from your course, still you have to decide which job can help you gain more and more experience and make you land on your dream job.

2. Update your best resume! Do focus on presenting yourself in the CV to get to the first step which is the interview...many people took for granted their cvs..u can search in the net on how to make a power resume but first you must know yourself, stress on your strenghts, show your skills, establish in the resume what differs you among the rest, back it up with specifics including your participation in school, in your past ojts or training and what results were made by YOU!

3. Be prepared! Produce lots of CVs and send lots of emails to different company more on your line of work and also to other company, who knows who will be interested on your qualifications, that's why you must really have a power resume.

4. Search jobpostings in the net and also keep track of friends or other affiliations to get to know companies that can suit you. Friends, not all people have the same luckycharms at the same time that were able to get a job so easily..Do have lots of patience especially if you're aiming at one of the largest of outstanding companies. Remain calm and be persevere at the same time.

5. Never lose hope and faith in God.. Everything happens for a reason..Continue praying ang preparing yourself for the opportunities ahead of you...Goodluck guys!!!

[RodolfoJunior26]

Ganun talaga sa mga fresh graduates...feeling ko yun na nga first day ko na ang magwork...siyempre sa mga fresh graduate "Hmmm, Tatawagan ka na lang". Offcourse matagal yun hanggang balewala na.

Call center ka talaga babagsak lalo na ang mass layoff yung mga employees.

Talaga hasa ka sa English at Good confidence, huwag sobra. So Maghintay-hintay ka na lang. Ganun Talaga!

[femaleIT]

Thank you sobra...pero minsan din kc parang nakakadisappoint na e..parang certified nga ako wala pa din ako marating and minsan lalaki *** kailangan nla..auin..cge try ko *** sabe mo..ehehe..thank you ****...

[john0331]

I feel for you guys, it's indeed hard to find a job if you are a fresh grad. Probably what I can share with you is to set your expectations a bit low. Some fresh grads expect to earn a lot of money on their first job. Try to look for any job related to your field and if you get accepted to one that's not really good in terms of salary, accept it anyway. For your first job you're working more for experience than for the money.

One thing that you can also go into is working online. This can already count as a work experience and it pays very well. Try looking at what your niche is and really focus yourself in finding an online job related to it. You could also work part-time so even if you're just a graduating student you can already have some experience under your belt. Here's a link about finding jobs online, you can try to check it out as there are some info there that might help you out. You can also find some job vacancies there at times.

http://makeyourownmoney101.blogspot.com/

Hope this helps, good luck in your job hunt! :)

[beginner_06]

Tama si john0331..*okay* ..sa una kailangan talaga magtiis-tiis muna kasi nga fresh grad pa lang, focus muna sa experience not on salary..pero kung makapasok kayo sa company na maganda benefits at compettive yung salary much better diba..hehehe...:rotflmao:

Gudlak sa mga fresh grad dito! :D

[RodolfoJunior26]

Sa mga engineering fresh graduate...magreview muna kayo para sa board exam kung sa tingin nyo makakapasa kayo o hindi! Sure, makakakuha rin ng trabaho...bawat apply magaaral kayo ng mga psychological, personality at ibapa para lang mahasa ka.

Kun sa inyo unahin ang paghahanap ng trabaho...Good Luck para may pangreview kayo!

God Bless You!

[mhej]

Hi guys...I'm a fresh grad too...One day after my graduation I started jobhunting at once...I not only tried jobsites but I browsed through company websites as well...Before I finally got a job offer, I went to at least 5 different job interviews...I'm an IT graduate by the way...

So don't lose heart...Apply lang tayo ng apply...And, if by July, wala pa rin talaga, then maybe it's time to consider applying to a callcenter...Besides, you can still jobhunt on the job...Para lang may income na...God bless to all!...


@niQQQ : Hey!! I got accepted in Macquarie...Thanks for all the tips...I'll try to refer you if they ask for extra IT graduates...:D

[femaleIT]

hello mhej...panu ka nagapply sa macquarie??how much or anung range ang salary don?

[beginner_06]

mhej: pano po mag-apply dun sa macquire? may vacant pa ba sila for IT position..? :D

[walangmalay18]

to reply sa opening question, umm.. i think that proctor and gamble are hiring now. may quota silang kelangan abutin this fiscal year. plus, they are welcoming fresh grads with open arms ( i think talagang fresh grads ang hnahanap nila)

[mhej]

to reply sa opening question, umm.. i think that proctor and gamble are hiring now. may quota silang kelangan abutin this fiscal year. plus, they are welcoming fresh grads with open arms ( i think talagang fresh grads ang hnahanap nila)

I heard this too...I was actually supposed to take a qualifying exam with P&G last Friday...Pro nung Thursday, tinawagan na ako ng Macquarie...So un...Dinedma ko na...Nag drop lang ako ng resume and other info sa site ng P&G and after 2 days invited na ako for an interview...I remember applying for an IT related position...So I guess available na...

[mhej]

hello mhej...panu ka nagapply sa macquarie??how much or anung range ang salary don?

Hahaha...Yan agad tanong mo ah...I was expecting someone to ask about the type of job Macquarie offers...Anyway, I cannot reveal the salary range here...Kasi kaka-sign ko lang ng contract kanina...All I have to say is, if you're successful in your application with Macquarie, the compensation package is a little bit lucrative especially for a fresh graduate...Kahit IT grad ka pa...

[mhej]

mhej: pano po mag-apply dun sa macquire? may vacant pa ba sila for IT position..? :D

Hi...It's Macquarie, by the way...I applied for an IT Graduate position...It's actually an IT Graduate Programme...No required technical skills except that you should have a degree related to IT (e.g. BS ComSci, ComEng, IT, etc.)...And also, you should either have graduated this year or 2008...

I'm not sure about the vacancies...I start working on Monday...It took me almost a month to get through the entire hiring process of Macquarie...Lam ni niQQQ un...

[walangmalay18]

hi.. may positions po ba for IT?

I heard this too...I was actually supposed to take a qualifying exam with P&G last Friday...Pro nung Thursday, tinawagan na ako ng Macquarie...So un...Dinedma ko na...Nag drop lang ako ng resume and other info sa site ng P&G and after 2 days invited na ako for an interview...I remember applying for an IT related position...So I guess available na...

pano po ba mag apply sa P & G? Walk in po ba? or pede mag send ng resume? thanks

habang nobela ang pag-apply sa kanila eh... hehe..
bale.. punta ka muna sa site nila tapos may online exam (i think it's where you can post your resume). tapos may written when you pass that online exam. tapos pag pass mo yun, may initial interview. tapos may panel interview. tapos may HR.... hehee...

[beginner_06]

Hi...It's Macquarie, by the way...I applied for an IT Graduate position...It's actually an IT Graduate Programme...No required technical skills except that you should have a degree related to IT (e.g. BS ComSci, ComEng, IT, etc.)...And also, you should either have graduated this year or 2008...

I'm not sure about the vacancies...I start working on Monday...It took me almost a month to get through the entire hiring process of Macquarie...Lam ni niQQQ un...

hahaha.. ibang klase talaga yan si MHEJ.... sa lahat ng kilala kong nag take ng Macquarie exam (kilala personally at nakilala dito sa pex), si MHEJ lang ang nakapasa. hahahaha. kaya ibang klase IQ nyan.. congrats ha. dream job ko yang position mo! =)

anyway, na invite ako to take exam sa P&G. kaso....... nagdadalawang isip ako. kasi based dito sa forum, 5 months ata bago ma kumpleto ang application mo dun. tapos yung IT daw nila more on project mgt, etc.. *** technical nila outsourced na sa HP.. eh ang gusto ko kasi mahasa ang technical skills.. so ewan ko baka magpagod at mabigo lang ako haha.. i'll think about it. LOL.

Ui...wag mo naman ako masyado binibida...nakakahiya...baka isipin ng mga tao dito mayabang ako...sa personal lang ako mayabang...hahahaha...online, humble ako...:naughty:

your reason is the same reason I did not take the P&G exam...Mabubulok ka sa kakahintay ng results...Pagkatapos, malalaman mo lang hindi ka naman pala pasado at tanggap...

Maybe what you can do, if you're really keen on working with P&G is to get a part-time job while waiting for their call...Off the top of my head, maybe you can apply for a call center position?...Uso ba yun dito?...hehehe...

[RodolfoJunior26]

Sa mga fresh graduates...talaga dadaan kayo sa pre-employment exam. Siyempre babalikan mo yung College Entrance Exam...abstract reasoning,vocabulary,math at iba pa.

Assessments Provide Key Information and Structure (http://www.brainbench.com/xml/bb/business/hiring/hiringdecisions.xml)

Assessments cannot make your hiring decisions for you. However, they can provide needed information to help you answer key questions:


Can they do the work?
Does their past work history indicate a terrific employee or potential problems?
Do they need training or can they hit the ground running?
Will their attitude enhance or hinder productivity?
Do their interests match the job? Will they stay?


Additionally, by documenting the key dimensions and suggesting interview questions/topics, assessments provide important structure. How much more effective would your hiring managers be at interviewing if they had more structure in front of them?

We're looking for Content Interns who can speak English and any of the following : Chinese, Japanese and Korean. This is a paid internship for Communications/ Journalism (or related) undergrads who would like to learn to develop content for the web.

Content interns will be required to join skill-building seminar and workshops and, may be offered a job after the internship.

By the way, though we're looking for Japanese/Chinese/Korean-speakers, we'd prefer it if the applicants are in Manila.

The most jobseekers I see here are IT/CS. :) hello!

are there accounting fresh grads too?

[TAIPANOT]

HI fellow new grads, finding a job is really hard these days. Most companies seem to be picky on the courses as well. I'm a pol sci graduate so its really hard. Either call center or government lang bagsak ko at this rate. :depressed:

[oneian]

Hi CS grads! marami naman po na hiring ng fresh grads the problem is scarce lang talaga ang mga high quality graduates. cheers!
p.s. I'm a recent graduate as well.

[jaycsjaycee]

HI guys ! I'm a fresh grad also , though madami na akong naaplyan , parang wala na ata akong pag-asa ...

[lori_sulivan]

[FAwannabe]

[xiaoran0906]

Wala pa yatang IT-related positions ang IBM ngayon. Non-IT consulting lang.

[lori_sulivan]

Wala pa yatang IT-related positions ang IBM ngayon. Non-IT consulting lang.

yep, I think that's true. I've tried to apply there pero no response eh.
gusto ko kasing ipursue eh networking career, pero mahirap lalo na kung fresh grad, miski nakakuha ka na ng ccna cert, mahirap parin. puro experience ang hinahanap nung iba usually :mecry:

[Anneleia]

Maraming c0mpanies ang naghahanap ng fresh grad, depende din kasi sa course mo, ako kasi bschem so mas maraming opportunity since konti lang ang grad ng ganung course, pero yung it,nursing, medyo mahirap since mataas ang competition. Unless mag underemployment ka. Btw, i suggest you check jobstreet, jobsdb,bestjob, or type your place +jobs, example bulacan jobs, pampanga jobs para malapit lang sa inyo.

[dark_archer02]

san ka na nagwowowrk annealeia

Sa pervil cosmetics bakit? *** san ka w0rk?
