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?

Hired kaagad... :hysterical:

Eto general (so may exceptions) observation ko from our batch:

Honor grads from good school - 40k and up

Good school grads - 25k and up

Regular school grads - 15k and up

From there siyempre yung mga tunay na magaling, kahit sa baba nagsimula, makakahabol. Yung mga on-paper lang magaling, mahahabol din ng iba. Pero yung mga magaling tapos mataas nagsimula, namamaximize yung opportunity given to them.

Ganyan talaga kapag Honors Course diba jut703.

Nakakainis talaga yang parang may discrimination sa school, pero yan reality so far. Dami kasi nag-aapply, kunti vacancy. Marami talaga ang hindi mapagbibigyan.

Ako po ay hindi naniniwala dito... makakuha ka nga nang magandang trabaho pero po pagkatapos noon? Tandaan ang makakuha nang magandang trabaho ay hindi po nagtatapos doon eto po ay isang simula lamang sa tunay na buhay.

ikaw ba ay tataas nang pwesto? or mananatili ka lang sa likod nang lamesa. Madami po akong kilala na matatalino noong college pero ano po sila ngayon... pareho pa din hindi man lang umakyat nang posisyon.

Pagsisikap at konesksyon ang kailangan upang umangat. May isa akong staff dati na tiga Agila matalino at may kaalamanan pero isang bagay ang kulang sa kanya ang MAKINIG... ayon hanggang ngayon ganun pa din ang posisyon.

ang pakikinig ay dito napapaunlad ang nalalaman.

It should be "ME" that will carry the name of my school, and not the other way around.

will not bring you to the top but could hinder your full potential.

example: you are a good driver, where will you perform better? on a crappy car or a tuned up car?
