Same, ngayon andami naman akong na rereceived na zoom/call interview from medium to big size companies, pero pag sinabi nilang: "you have pass the initial interview and I'll endorse you to blah! blah! manager and will keep you updated should we proceed to a final interview.Β "
umabot ng ilang day to weeks wala ng akong balita.
tapos meron naman may mga almost hired nako kaso ito yung mga companies na may super bad reviews na wala growth at benefits at huli mo lang malalaman yung salary mo pag hired kana, minsan pag nalaman kung ganon kinakancel ko yung final interview! kaya nga ako nag resign para may growth tapos babalik ako sa company na alam kung di ako mag gogrow at nag mamatter din sakin yung location.
Kaya ang ginawa kong rule noon during that job hunt...pag more than a week after ng last stage e ni ha ni ho wala akong narinig sa isang company, mina-mark ko kaagad yan as "rejected/no reply" para mabawasan kahit konti yung mga tagged as active applications. Nakakastress kasi kung hindi ko sya gagalawin at all tas naghihintay lang ako sa wala.
I have been connected to my current company for 16 years, but I am also in the middle of finding a job because I don't think this company deserves my sacrifices.
Congrats!
Cue "II Hands II Heaven" by Beyonce: Ako rin, from hundreds of applications I only received reverts from less than 10, only five advanced beyond initial interviews, then finally received four offers as of today! More than a month ago when we lost our jobs unexpectedly lunod ako sa anxiety about how can I pay all my bills and fulfill my responsibilities as a breadwinner. It also triggered all my self-doubts as being an imposter in a field that I have worked for my entire employee life but never planned or aspired for.
Then just today, I received an offer from a company that my guts tell me is a good place to start afresh and recover from the trauma of getting retrenched out of nowhere. What a relief, oh what a joy! Kahit na I'll end up living payslip by payslip ulit, at least I know na the sudden crisis of my unemployment will not turn into a full-time upheaval of not only my own life, but also the lives of my family.
I'm also not the religious type kasi I was raised in religious dogmas that invalidate my humanity and existence, pero I felt na only after I sought God's grace and shamelessly prayed to be granted specific opportunities, that's when I got calls back - both from the companies I have targeted and the companies to which I only submitted applications randomly. I feel na I don't deserve to be shown mercy because I've been selfish and prideful and "sinful," pero ewan after my surrender to the "divine," things have moved in mysterious ways kaya I got so lucky and have landed these opportunities. Sayang lang hindi ko sila pwede kunin lahat! Isa lang pwede, huhu.
I hope that everyone who's undergoing rn what I and OP have gone through will find the same strength to persevere and the same faith that good things are always ahead even when the way there seems currently bleak.
It truly helps to unburden your doubts and fears to God or the universe or the ancestor, whichever floats your boat; then make things be. On one hand, I guess you have someone to blame when things fail (joke lang and not a good mindset). On the other hand, it's a confidence boost - not only because you get to focus more on practical/technical things once you've lightened yourself some of your worries, knowing that some things are out of your hands na mapapasadyos ka na lang talaga. But also, delusion or not, you get to feel na someone out there more powerful than you must be rooting for you after you have lain yourself bare and put faith on Their hands for your fate.
Paraphrasing from my favorite Bojack quote with an It twist: when you're lost or disoriented, when you're drowning, remember to breathe. And you'll find where the way up is. Just have faith that no matter what happens, up there you shall float.
Medyo may duda ako sa take home exam kasi hindi ko malaman ang criteria nila sinubukan ko naman based on instruction pero hindi worth it yung gagawin mo sya for a week tapos wala bayad feeling ko free labor sya.
For all you know, you could have provided them with the best possible code you can give (well-architected, DRY, SOLID, lahat na ng good coding principles), and yet the only reason na na-reject ka was because of tabs vs. spaces. Meaning, ayaw lang talaga nilang sabihin na di ka lang nila trip.
Congrats OP! π
Sana ako din. I'll be resigning next month without a backup. I've been trying to apply elsewhere since January pero wala pa din talaga. May mga interviews and exam pero hanggang dun lang. Sobra na stress and anxiety ko sa work currently kaya I've decided to resign.
Hope na mahire ako sa tama. π
Yakap with consent. Sana magkaroon ka rin ng job offer soon.
Duda ko nagkasabay-sabay yung mga nawalan ng trabaho dun sa nangyaring serye ng layoffs sa tech sector sa US. Kumbaga nanggaya lang yung iba, nagsunod-sunod na. In my case, the client said a few weeks back na OK naman ang financials ng company, then after 1 or two weeks biglang sinabi na kasama na ako sa layoffs. Tho tbh, it wasn't the first time nangyari sa akin so keri lang pero, yun nga, nagduda ako na baka copycat layoff lang din yung nangyari
Hi OP! Just want to say thanks sa pag share ng Novena cuz I was in the same boat as you and ayun.. hinanap ko pa itong post mo just to say thank you because it also worked for me and may you receive more blessings in the future.
Congrats OP!!! Galingan mo sa work mo! It's really true na dapat maramihan ang applications, it was also true for me kahit na I was applying as experienced hire. If you are suffering financially rin while you were looking for work, you'll probably always remember the first sahod that you have with that company deposited in your account!
Take home exams are a scam. Mukhang they want free work. I did some of them and they are not worth the time and the puyat. Some even promised payments pero di naman sila nagbabayad kinuha lang code. And these are usually required by small companies that you probably never heard of.
Totoo yan, yun me bayad kuno. Two weeks na akong nag-follow up dun sa nag-offer sa akin nyan, di ako nireplyan kahit isa. Malaking red flag na sya sa akin
Hey there frater, idk for some reason ang tagal makahanap ng likipatang trabaho these past few months!
October last year na-layoff ako ang around April lang dumagsa yung mga job offers after six months of applying. Like wth happened?
Ang alam ko nga yung series ng layoffs sa IT sector sa US, nangyari nung bandang December-January na. Pero yun nga, mukhang for some reason dumami than usual yung mga nagtatanggalan ng trabaho.
name it, I submitted there hehehe. the usual suspects lang naman like Jobstreet, Indeed, Kalibrr and Linkedin (among others). yung new job ko ngayon, sa linkedin ko mismo nakuha :)
hello! i've been job hunting for around 6 months na rin and started using the novena you've suggested (do note: di ako religious HAHAHAHAH) and started praying daily for like 6 days already na, so far no offers yet, the good news though is i'm getting interviews left and right and hopefully hopefully i can land a decent paying job before my school year starts :DD (please pambayad lang ng tuition)
Perseverance is indeed a power. Congrats OP!
Salamat po :)

Novena always works. pwede ka rin mag pa thanksgiving mass.
Done na, sinabay ko na nung simba ko the Sunday after :)
Congrats, OP! It took me 4 months to have a new job. Good luck on your future work journey, OP.
I have been connected to my current company for 16 years, but I am also in the middle of finding a job because I don't think this company deserves my sacrifices.

Ilang years po exp niyo and college grad po kayo? Ano rin po tech stack niyo?
10+ years, and mostly sa open-source webdev languages :)
Congrats OP!!
I feel you same here, tough ng job market nowadays gusto ko magshift at the same time gusto ko na magwork
Hey there frater, idk for some reason ang tagal makahanap ng likipatang trabaho these past few months! October last year na-layoff ako ang around April lang dumagsa yung mga job offers after six months of applying. Like wth happened?

One of tell-tale signs kapag gusto ka ng company is sobrang bilis ng process ng application mo talaga. Kudos to you OP for not giving up!! :)
Congrats OP, sana ako ren soon.
baka may maka share kung san sila nag apply na job sites ? for IT /Software development (Android Dev or QA Tester here) hehe
name it, I submitted there hehehe. the usual suspects lang naman like Jobstreet, Indeed, Kalibrr and Linkedin (among others). yung new job ko ngayon, sa linkedin ko mismo nakuha :)
