Does school really matter?

[Deestone]

Anyone here who is alumni of chang kai shek or knows someone in there?

according to Times Higher Education World University Rankings, yes and school does matter ...

Yup tama naman siya. Ferdinand Sr was brilliant but unfortunately hindi namana ni JR ang brains ni SR

I am one of those guys who believe na kaya ng bobo habulin ang matalino... kailangan lang nya magsipag.

In the case of our supreme leader. nasa kanya na $$$ and power... kailangan lang nya tiisin yung 4 years para magkaroon ng degree... Uupo na lang sya, I'm sure magkakaroon sya ng diploma in the end, and he chose not to.

Hindi e. Dati kasi I was told by an HR officer na chummy namin, when they segregate CVs it's UP, DLSU, ADMU and others (na most probably shredder ang ending) If you segregate the employees 90% from those 3 schools, yung others latin honors level or tipong Bedan/Miriam/AC/SSC from GS to College.

Naabutan ko pa yung "discrimination" sa office nung fresh grad ako. May interview pa ko tinanong ako how will I go to work, when I said I have a car, I was asked if I drive or driver Pati books I read and places I hang out (ibang company naman yan) May na applyan din ako I was told to lose my extra weight lol (though yung company kasi represents health) That could never happen in the 2020s.

Anyway, I think in general wala na talaga discrimination ngayon sa schools kasi sa industry namin nung una mapili multinationals but now not anymore.

What I want to know nung panahon ko notorious ang FMCG for only hiring cream of the crop grads from the top 3. I want to know if they even hire non top 3 na. May mga BPO na din kasi FMCG but I mean the Manila office (non BPO)

Hindi kaya nainterview kita noon

Age, looks (incl weight), social status are "no longer important right now" - that's what they want us to believe. pero in reality... it alls boils down sa preference ng may final say sa hiring.

All I can say is swerte mga fresh grads ngayon because companies are not as discriminatory as they were before. Yung mga gay nga out and celebrated pa sa office. Nung fresh grad ako in the early 2000s "tinatapon" mga nalalaman na gay sa unwanted departments. Sa Headquarters namin for sure they will be frowned upon kasi my German bosses commented na dami daw gay sa Manila office (they're honest with me kasi close kami)

Kaya Pilipinas is the best place for women and lgbtq.

again... being based overseas for more than 10 years... sa SG na lang, may mga friends kami na graduate ng provincial universities dito and every year na lang na-reject work pass nila bec of their school - never happened to those who graduated from UAAP & NCAA schools. and these people have been in SG for more than 10 years din and all managers na. palagi nilang problem yung pass renewal nila.

Members of the LGBTQ+? yes kapag Western Private company. hanap ka ng top management if the company is Asian (especially Japanese, Indian, Malaysian and Chinese owned)...
And sa Gov't na lang natin, ilan and Congressman na out and proud?

of course!
why go thru the trouble of ranking and not just alphabetizing,
if it don't matter naman pala?

there will always be exceptions, but "i'll go with the current system until a better system comes up."

hahaha! Do interviewers still do that now with fresh grads? Lifestyle questions?

In my first job yung mga client facing, since they deal with HNWs, puro mga good looking and upper class. The types that would work only for a few years to experience corporate life.

Yup those are MNCs from the west nga (Pride week). Pero bakit Catholic Mass pinagbawal na nila bigla? We used to have mass sa office every first Friday. Minsan kawawa din mga conservatives

this is how i see it.

for topschool products, their foot is already wedged against the partially open door.
for non-topschoolers, they still have to knock on the door for the other side to open.

but once thru the door, both will have to prove that they deserve to remain inside.
but i admit, the topschooler's scorecard is already partially filled-in.

nalaman ko na lang ito nung pumasok ako sa isang MNC noon sa Alabang.
daming nagtaka kung paano ako nakapasok sa puwesto na iyon. lalong umangat ang kilay ng iba nung nalaman na free tax pa ang package dahil di naman ako galing sa nasabing mga school.
sabi ko na lang na may current work ako sa abroad nung panahon ng negotiation kaya walang mawawala sa akin pag hindi binigay ang gusto ko.

Naabutan ko pa yung may mga tax free employees kami. The company seemed to want to get them to retire na LOL. I think starting year 2000 all new hires are not tax free anymore.

Totoo ba na it's easier for top schools guys na makuha ang non top school girls? Whether one night stand, bed buddy or relationship? I know it's such a bad generalization pero a non top school colleague/friend practically said it and gave so many examples from her friends

Sometimes I wish I did NOT have to know about these things
