[__bhogzz__]

[WeaponX]

Try mong mag-apply sa mga IT Solution Provider or Software/Hardware Vendor. Marami naman dyan like Phil-data, ShellSoft, MSI-ECS, etc. Pwede rin sa mga CallCenter na naghahanap ng tech support. Try mo Sykes, Ambergris, etc. Marami kang options. Tingin ka sa dyaryo o kaya sa Internet. Kailangan lang ng sipag at tyaga sa paghahanap. Di ko mairerecommend sa yo ngayon ang pag-aabroad kasi may mga experience ang kadalasang hinahanap. Pero try mo na rin kung gusto mo.

By the way, wag mong ila "lang" kung ano ka o kung anong meron ka. Marami akong kilala na "lang" din pero mas maganda ngayon ang estado sa buhay. Believe in yourself. Dyan ka magsisimula.

Hehe salamat..humble lang cguro ako kaya ako nag "lang" sa sarili ko but i dont see myself as less capable than the others.ayoko rin talaga mag abroad kahit hilahin pa ng apat na eroplano..ung sa mga call center kasi karamihan "tech support" e..ang trabaho, take parin ng calls tapos troubleshoot nung problem ng caller..

Don't loose hope bro!

Madami magagandang openings for IT dyan, tyagaan lang! Basta apply ka lang, the more the better of chances na makuha...!

Be proud of yourself and all your achievements, this will carry you thru your next endeavor!

GOOD LUCK!

[Tacoma_34]

Be proud but not too proud, God hates proud people.

[russpogi]

Tama bossing! IMO, di talaga solution ang pag-abroad. Well, kasi I don't want to leave my family behind. Ika nga, last resort ko na yun if ever. Oh, wala pala akong IT experience. Abang ka lang sir, once in a while may magpo-post din dito ng job listing.

Try this: mag-member ka sa philwapp*yahoogroups.com. Madaming job postings dun related on IT.

BTW, mas maganda bossing if you can avoid using "txt speak" para mas madaling mabasa. Mejo nahilo ako sa post mo eh!

Good luck ule sir!

whats wrong with going abroad if you can earn in a year what you can in 5 years there?
Thats noble to not leave your family I give you that.

[wakin]

even if you don't like call centers, try mo pa rin. you need to have experience. then pwede ka ng mag apply sa mas gusto mong industry. kung baga me bala ka na to choose what company you would like to work with.

Actually, going abroad is a great opportunity given one pero in my opinion, di talaga sya solution for me. Personally, I really want to stay here in the Philippines. Siguro takot din ako because wala akong security blanket (which is my parents) and everything outside the Philippines is foreign to me. Pero kung wala na talagang oportunity dito for me, abroad na din ako pero sana kasama (future) family ko. I can't imagine myself away from them. Feeling ko di ko kakayanin. That's why bilib ako sa mga taong nasa abroad working for their families kse kaya nila yung situation na yun where I know very well that I can't.

Sorry sa OT

[artpogi]

inakakahiya pero bhla na may mabait nmn cguro dyan .

bakit nakakahiya? talagang ganyan, walang nakakahiya sa humingi ng tulong.

Agree with Wakin, try mo muna sa Call Center kung talagang wala ka mapasukan, parang pang puno lang muna sa gastusin ika nga habang naghahanap ka ng talagang gusto mo na trabaho.

[wavecxs]

teka nalito ko konti. so CoE pala natapos mo? fresh grad? Kung oo, ok lang wala experience, madami dyan company naghahanap ng fresh grads to train, importante e may background ka ng konti sa programming (back in college).

Ako nga EE pero nagka shift sa IT e, nung time namin 2 lang ang comp. subjects ng EE

Pag nakakita ka ng company na may training na ino offer, tyagain mo na yun for the sake na magkaron ng programming knowledge... ano hot ngayon na language, well... java, C#. syempre classic at safe bet lagi yung c/c++. Ngayon pag may experience ka na.. thats the time na maghahanap ka na ng.... big bucks!

good luck bro!

ako nasa IT pero more on the sales/project management/marketing/support....actually depende sa araw I have to wear many hats

we're a system integrator specializing in server based computing, backup/storage solutions and DR consulting- my posting this is to give you some insight on where some of your skills may lie

here's the kicker- I don't have an IT background

but my teammates do and they started just like you
one thing I saw in all of them is they love to learn and problem solve- sabi nga ng mga puti madalas samin is RTFM (google mo na lang) kasi sobra magaling sa kapaan ang noypi

as a solutions provider we depend on our tech teammates to help me position a proof of concept or provide options- not "box push", do R&D etc.

my role in the whole thing is to lay the ground work so "the propeller heads" as we affectionally call them do their magic and share/teach support & admin people to stop fire fighting since it seems that's what takes up most of ther time instead of being free to contribute to core goals of their companies

when presentations focusing on cost benefit matrices, networking with other providers here and in the region- basically being an orchestrator for logistics- facing up to decision makers in neogtiations or just plain old driving for my buddies is called for- I do it.

now alam natin sa IT alang tigil na pag aaral yan since some new gizmo/software comes up when you were still just beginning to get the hang of the one just handed to you...in this case google is your best friend as well as the numerous tech boards/forums

medyo lumilihis nako pero if you have a foundation built on wanting to learn no matter what it takes and being able to get out of your comfort zones to immerse yourself in project management, self led teamsmanship etc. then you won't have a hard time to join solutions provider

[__bhogzz__]

Salamat sa mga nag reply ha.

Pansin ko nga e patok na patok programming.E ako naman nung nag aral wala kahilig hilig mag program.pero may subject kami dun pero hindi talaga ako na interes haha. Tsaga na lang talaga siguro sayang nahuli lang talaga ako sa posting ni happy gilmore hindi ako nakahabol ok na ok sana un siya pa naman mag iinterbyu. Walang tumatawag sa inaaplayan ko sa mga online. Siguro sobrang dami ko kasabay nag aapply sa field na to. Tapos baka mas galing pa sa mas prestigious na schools kaya dehins ung resume ko.

russ TY ha salihan ko yang yahoo groups na yan

russ TY ha salihan ko yang yahoo groups na yan

No worries sir! Sana makatulong po sa inyo yun! Good luck!

[Hanren]

also belong to the IT field pero yung line ng work ko ngayon eh di gaano na aapply. Nasa academe ako so mostly, it is on teaching and on research. The pay is just okey (and sustain me and my family). Some friends are edging me to apply abroad but I prefer to be with my family.And I also don't have the skills and experience (programming) in developing IT solutions.

I also enrolled in Cisco (CCNA 1) pero nung CCNA 2 na kami, biglang napirate yung nagtuturo sa amin. Malaki daw offer niya sa Manila. So, I think you are in a very promising industry. Mixed nga lang ang assessment ng mga tao ngayon with regards to computer networks.

You already have the needed industry certifications (kahit paano recognized yung knowledge mo). Hirap din kaya magkaroon ng certificate lalo na sa field ng networks. Apply ka sa mga Companies sa Makati. Or apply ka na lang sa mga IT schools na nag ooffer ng CISCO academy certification programs. Diyan mostly naghahanap yung mga companies in need. Believe in your capabilities. Ang hanap ng industry ngayon eh yung may na meet na standards sa skills and knowledge.

Good Luck bro!

[mazdamazda]

tsagaan lang yan bro...

i started out as a bodegero a few years ago... hehehe. so far, ok naman na. just be a FAST learner during your first few years on the job.

[ILuvDetailing]

Also in the IT field = Design and Web Development/Programming, don't have any formal training. Just relied on google and bought some books, spent some late nights reading and practicing my programming skills. Dami ko pang gustong matutunan kulang lang sa oras because of pending work. Am not employed, am just doing this as freelance work...

Tama sila, you can try out working for a call center as a techical support tech, may training din sila dun maybe it can help you in your future employment. Good luck bro.

Lots of talented IT people here in tsikot

[need4speed]

IT dude here as well.

Can't be too picky if you don't have any experience in the real world yet. So I suggest to get as much working experience as you can. May it be a call center or not.

[__bhogzz__]

Yan lang kulang sa qualifications ko, hindi na natanggap sa job fair kanina. Ibig sabihin yata nito ung formal talaga na nakapag trabaho na at nakasahod na. Interview rin kanina sa Ortigas, alam ko kayang kaya ko talaga ung work, pero policy daw na may professional work experience. Ung SSS at TIN siguro habol nila. Kahit yung freelance/homeservice ko na experience for 1 year as computer technician hindi umubra.Kamot ulo.
Tama kayo, mag work muna ng kahit ano. And the closest is tech support.

Aapply nako tech support kapag wala pa talaga 1 month from now.

*Hanren gusto mo paba mag take ng cCNA exam?Pwede naman kahit hindi mo kompleto yung academy.
