I want to express my frustration with most of the fresh grad student in the country...
Seriously guys... what's your problem???
Let me lay down the situation with our current working industry. Unemployment rate in our country has reached a rate whereby it seems impossible to get a job. Just to make it worst, more employer out there are looking for candidates with some years of experience under their belt to feel the position in their companies. So do you have the criteria to even possibly apply for the job???
Fresh grad, or i prefer to call them newbie’s... has a terrible mindset that is haunting my thoughts... they think whatever they major in the University is what they gonna be when they finish studying... well that's not all false... their chances to be what they study is there if they hold a degree... yet... the chance is very... very.. very... SLIM... for those with just a Diploma... JUST FUCKING grab whatever job you can get... your diploma is consider shit nowadays... not to condemn you people... because I too am a diploma holder... you can achieve success even with a diploma... it’s just that you need to start somewhere... delaying that start is actually delaying you to achieve success..
Just start somewhere and work yourself up... no one respect you with what kind of paper you have... it’s who you are and how you present yourself... here is something for you to think about... did you ever notice that those who excel in their studies in school are not the one who's likely to make it in life??? just think about it... and recall those so call "excellent student" in your school.. Studying and working are two different things... Whatever you major when you study, you still need to learn once you enter the work force... Have you guys even looked at the Job advertisement these days??? look it specifically at the qualification column... they will say... "Diploma or Degree in ANY FIELD"... in any field... see??? Regardless of whatever you study... those company with the intention of hiring will also include "training will be provided"... can't you see?? or are you too dumb to realize that whatever you learn in your Uni days is not applicable in your daily job task... even so... it's not entirely useless... you'll use what you've learn from time to time depending on the situation and your own creativity.
Ever wonder why our current educational system forces us to learn other subjects outside our major??? Here's an example... A friend of mind complain what's the purpose of her learning accounting when she Major's in Nursing... what does a nurse doing messing up her head with accounting... what does it got to do with Nursing anyway??? My dear.... the educational system is trying to teach you to be knowledgeable... don't stuck your head in only one thing... know everything... be resourceful... and you'll be an asset in any company...
A couple of weeks ago.. I was sad... a bit embarrasses... but I just bare with it since it’s so true... there were a few vacancy here in my department... So there were lots of resume receive by my manager... I even suggested few friends... since the relationship between me and my manager is pretty good... she often talks to me since I sit in front of her... While she was going thru some of the resume.. suddenly she puts away 3 / 4 resume aside... and start yapping bout the resume... she said the resume was sloppy, not ethical nor even relevant... just imagine applying for an executive post in a company but don't even know what's the company is about... all the resume were degree holders in various field. What made me sad afterward was when she said graduate from this University are not dependable... can't even speak English well even that the curriculums was in English... she said the University was a joke in producing these kind of graduate...
How do you think it made me feel??? Coming from the same University as them... luckily she didn't ask me... I don't know how to respond...
Please by any means... do your research on the company you're being interviewed. Even though you don't get the job... at least you gain some knowledge... Do read... have the tendency of reading at least a book in a month or a year... Ignorance is bliss... All I'm trying to say is... no one will help you to achieve success that you wanted except for yourself...
As for me... I take this as an experience to share with you and as a reminder for myself in the future... you got to eat shit before you can enjoy candy...
Good luck in joining the work force...
