Does school really matter?

[nissde]

Good to know if nabibigyan na nga ng chance. Noong nasa pinas pa kasi ko may mga kaibigan ako mula sa mga unibersidad na ito. Mismong mga Company ang pumupunta for Job Fairs some of them actually are hired even before they graduate.

Galing po ako sa pamantasan ni isang company wala kong nabalitaan nagpunta sa school for Job Fair. Ito ay mga isang dekada na ang nakaraan.

Galing po ako sa pamantasan

Pamantasan ng Maynila?

That's a good school.

kids being told they can conquer the world, be the next Zuckerberg

they walk around feeling like the world owes them something

then reality hits them

yeah!, yun mga nauuso ngaun sa mga coffee shop, restaurants and even sa office. ano term dun communal workplace, communal table whatever. pautot yan ng mga Atenean think tanks na nag-de-design ng mga stores ngaun. when you hear communal and it suggests sharing of spaces, tables, sofas or even shower or CR, parang ang sarap pakinggan diba, kasi share share, hindi nag-waste ng resources.

but what is really communal? from the word communism. ano communism lahat ng bagay pag-aari ng gobyerno share share kayo ng maduming cr, maduming kainan, books whatever. kita mo how these Atenean think tanks brainwash us, suddenly communist ideals are good and refreshing. We should know better! sarap sarap ng privacy ng sarile mo table, saka dalawang CR for genders.

inintroduce nila communal, para makatitipid sila sa mga maintenance ng mga establishments nila. meron pa isa nagpauso ngaun, yun walang plastic bag saka walang straw pag friday for nature daw. mga sira-ulo sinong niloloko nyo?

Not anymore. My wife leads a head-hunting agency, and one of her gripes is that graduates from the top schools mentioned, do not stay long in a specific position. Lipat ng lipat, tapos puro pa reklamo.

Ngayon, she's opening her doors to "other" schools. Most of the time, she gets quality candidates. And when endorsed to clients, come back with positive results.

Depends on the company bro. 3 out of the last 4 companies I've worked with, big majority pa rin are from the top 3 schools. In all 4, the top management almost exclusively comes from the top 3.

If anything, my current company which is most notorious for not even entertaining resumes of non-top universities started hiring a few grads from less renowned universities. Thing is, these grads are also TOSP awardees so it's still not a free-for-all thing.

Nandun pa rin yung mga job fairs and may mga nahihire pa rin before they even graduate.

A good education really helps you start off at a higher rung in the corporate ladder. However, if you are driven, competent, and have a good attitude, you will most likely climb faster than others, regardless of where you graduated from.

Being rejected 50 times and not learn from that. There is something wrong with that guy.

I get the guy's frustrations - like him I was a scholar who needed a well-paying job more than my well-to-do batchmates. However, just because you needed it more doesn't mean a good life gets handed to you on a silver platter.

For me, the main issue is that he has too much entitlement and too little grit.

Much of what I want to say has been discussed in detail in the comment thread of that post. Hopefully the OP takes the well-meaning comments positively and comes out of this ordeal a better, more employable person with a less entitled outlook in life.

Yes, there are companies that are almost "Hitler" like in requesting for top 3 school candidates. Until their HR department gives up on the high turn over.

That's when she (my wife) suggests a candidate from a "lower" school.

But meron talaga engot companies na maka-demand sa qualification ng candidate con-todo, tapos ang starting salary is 25K.

LOL.

Agree. Too much self entitlement. We recently had a job fair at UP and we were looking for interns without telling them that we offer minimum pay even for internship. Aba, ayaw ng mga damuho kesyo daw hindi Big 4 ung company namin, parents daw required na dapat Makati based or malayo daw sa bahay nila at ayaw mag-commute. Oh well, kumuha kami ng PUP and TUP at sa awa ng diyos na regular naman at may signing bonus pa.

In some ways yeah. I've interviewed some people lately for an opening in our group, and yung mga napili ko are from PUP and Letran. Merong taga Ateneo and La Salle pero merong something sa ugali nila nung time na kausap ko sila. Parang iiwan ka sa ere kapag naging stressful na ang work. Pero baka sa mga nainterview ko lang naman.
