I am writing this because i want to give ideas on people who are dealt on becoming one among us.

"The Fresh Grads" a.k.a "totoy","rookie","dayo"















Let's get the definition first between a career and a job

a definition was published by Dee Piziak
under his employment tips article posted on the web

A job is:

A regular activity performed in exchange for payment
A position in which one is currently employed.

A career is:
A chosen pursuit; a profession or occupation.
The general course or progression of one's working life or one's professional achievements over time

"A job is what you are doing for today. A career is what you have done on the past years and what you are planning to do in the coming next years."

We fresh grads should take this as a lesson. I learned it by accepting a job offer that i really regret of. Thank god i was terminated. A career is a commitment, where in you want or crave for it. I knew guys who resigned on their work because they don't feel it anymore. Jobs are everywhere but the question is are you willing to give your whole hearted effort on that job? a career is like love or getting married, commitment, long term achievement that you can boast to everybody that you fell in love into.

"prevention is better than cure"
How to prevent getting hooked up by false jobs?
by: jaysonbagio

1. Evaluate yourself. No one knows you better than yourself. Got to know your strengths and weaknesses.
2. Picture it out, its not that bad to dream as long as you can turn those dreams into reality.
3. Take out the pressure. "inch by inch" don't rush yourself in getting a job or starting a career, competition is way to tough to handle.
4. Commitment. Commit on improving yourself. Never rely on what's just in front of you. Take a deep breath and dive into new discoveries.
5. Resourcefulness. Be resourceful enough to get a sideline job. Join a Free lance Group to earn profits while waiting for the job you are looking for. It helps you gain experiences.
6. Love it. You wouldn't bite a job offer if you don't feel or like doing the job it self.
7. Don't be picky stupid punk! What would you do on a 18 to 20 thousand monthly salary if you're everyday living at the office is in hell.
8. Of course know you're rate. I think in job posting sites like jobsdb and jobstreet, they offer an analysis of how much offer you can get on a certain position in connection with the resume's and portfolio that you submitted to them.
9. Concentrate. Concentrate on a certain thing, if you like arts you wouldn't mind studying c# or vb.net. go for the right tools, It's obvious Adobe products has taken over as far as design and media development is concern. I have a friend who has been in PHP for 10 plus years now, "damn", he has godlike skills in php.
10. Know your path. Research the stepping stones for a certain career. You will not be a project manager if you came from nowhere, except you were born with a golden spoon in your
mouth.

These are just some of cool tips i can give you guys if you are just about to graduate and start looking for a career. Show your appreciation on my article by posting a comment or bookmarking the article.

I am thankful that i was once became a part of this big time company located in the heart of Makati-Ayala business district. Thanks to the training in vb and asp.net that they have given us.

For a while it was a very good way to start my career in this so called IT industry but as the days goes by my start up with them became a living hell. Oops sorry for that term.

I found my self wasting my time sitting my ass and waiting and waiting for nothing.

Before this all began they told us upon the orientation that if they endorse us to a client and the client feels you are a perfect piece for them then there you will be deployed. With that is a condition that we'll pass the training and all those revalidation exams to be offered by their clients, with "s" because they told us that they are big time and everybody in this country believe that yes they are so they have many clients. And they promised us that they'll offer us to other business partners that they have if we wont get accepted by their other clients.

I had so much fun on our 1 & a half months of training in asp and vb.net., we're getting paid while doing the training, unlike any other IT consulting company.

After the it's about time to face the ultimate truth. Its eviction time fellas, just like in Big Brother, 4 of us was immediately evicted so from 15 guys down 11,. the 4 didn't made it because they failed to pass the training days.

After that we we're now sent for a week-long revalidation exam of one of their bigtime roots, a bank probably just for you to picture it out. After a long week 5 of 11 we're hired by this bank so how many was left behind? 6? i am one of those six.

The next day was a surprise, our boss told us that we'll have to make our resignation paper immediately. What a fucking surprise. They only have one client for .net and they are kicking our asses out to the office. We resigned as they said without any contest because we we're rookies back then. And the agreement that they'll offer us to another client was just verbal.

damn.

If only i didn't got to much pressured on landing my first job. I could have not bite in the bait of a fucking scam.

Guess what i am still a mother fucking lucky piece of bastard. I landed a job quickly after that scam. My colleagues left in that BIG time company will be there for 3 years because of that fucking miserable contract that they signed. They are getting less on what a .net programmer should rate. The secrets we're leaking., java people we're rating 18-20k and they are just getting 12.

hahaha..last laugh to us, people who we're kicked out because of their tight policy.
Thanks for a while. I learned my lessons.
