You only work with what you can change. No use crying over the fact that your parents aren't well connected. But you can work on becoming an exceptional student so you can enter a good school, and then work even harder to get honors, join competitions, hold org leadership positions.

At least kahit papano, napataas mo yung chances mo of a better corporate career, and you also maximized all the opportunities available to you. No guarantees parin, but you did your best and that's really all that matters.

i can't blame the big multinational companies kailangan mabilis ang pag process nila kaya pag hinde ka galing ng top 3 universities, tapon agad resume mo...but nakakagalit lang yun ganyan, dapat equal opportunities kahit anong school ka pa galing, parang lahat ng work laging meron "with experience" eh kung hinde mo bibigyan ng chance yun mga walang expereince paano na? unemployed na lang sila habangbuhay?

That is an answer my sister used in her first employment.....

"Kung hindi ninyo ako iha-hire,- paano ako magkaka-experience?"....

Hired kaagad... :hysterical:
