Graduates: Welcome To Adulthood
Another school year is now about to end and a lot of fresh graduates will now undergo what we so called "Job Hunting"
After graduating, the first thing a fresh graduate will ponder upon is about being employed. Prepares his / her curriculum vitae attached with a presentable cover letter ready for job hunting.
Lucky enough are those people who are not required to have a job right after they graduate and that they can still have time to take a break and just relax. But some people, most especially those bread winners in their family got no choice but to do the job hunting right away. But if you can afford not to find a job right after yoy graduate, then good for you because you still have a lot of time to think on what career you really want.
Once you start working, your time to yourself will surely be lessen so make sure that your body and mind are already completely set-up once you have your job. So as much as possible, give yourself some "me time", do everything that you know you will not be able to do once you started working.
Tips on finding careers.
1. Apply for a job that you have passion with
Carefully think of what career you really want to possess because as what they usually say, "choose a job that you really love so that once you started working you will not be able to feel like you are working since you love / enjoy what you are doing"
Lots of people have a work that does not jive with what degree they finished in college or it is also known as "changing of career" and then people around you will question if why did you chose that and do not want to apply what you have learned during college. Never mind what those kind of people will say about you because it is you who will do the work and not them.
2. Identify what your likes or dislikes are in choosing your career
But there are people who still can not decide on what they really want. First, maybe you may not know what you want but I am pretty sure that you are always aware of things that you do not want. So if that career or job you are applying to is not categorized as you do not want, so why not give it a try even though it is something like you do not really like.
Do not be afraid to go out of your comfort zone, you may feel like you started working on the wrong company but it will always just be on the beginning. It is not the right time for you to quit your job but it is the best time to know yourself better. Treat this first job as a learning experience to know yourself better.
Somewhere along the line, you may realize that you are not enjoying your job but consider this one as a challenge, always be open to new challenges.
3. Keep in mind that there is no perfect job
Young adults nowadays are very impatient, want something as soon as possible or wanted results right away without going through the step by step process. Remember that, great things take their time. Millennial nowadays are fond of job hopping, yes job hopping not job hunting, there is are lot of difference between the two. Job hunting refers to the process of applying for a several jobs while job hopping is leaving their current job to find a new job and so on.
Millenials easily quits their job when something not good is present in the company they are working. But remember thay difficult times will make us a better person so consider things to have a good impact in our lives.
Sometimes, when you are not enjoying what you want, you sometimes question yourself as "should I stay in this job?, Or am I on the right company?
There are lots of reason why an employee may quit their job. Some because of problems, they do not enjoy that job that they want, low salary, benefits, boss and coworkers.
Just like in the company I am working for. Last July 16, three new employees were newly hired, that was friday. And when the monday comes, the two of them did not attend for work and heard the news that this two man already talked to their boss that they will not be attending work on monday, the day they talked to their boss is the same day they started in the company. A co-workers talled me that one of their reason why they decided to quit is because of the salary.
Some people quits their job because of the boss. Yes, the job, taks may be easily but once your boss has this kind of bad attitude, no one will really stay to that boss of yours. People quit not because of their job but because of a co-workres attitude, I heard lots of stories like this. Employees do not stay because of the job but because they have a good boss.
They say, having a good boss will result to the company's success, so if you have a good boss, think twice about quitting your job and when you are a boss and is reading this article, be a good example to your subordinates. Some of your employees are still with you because of you, so take good care of your employees too not only with youe customers.
There will never be a perfect job, if there is why do employees from different companies resigns? It is always a matter of what your passion is, people have different tastes when it comes to their passion. Before you quit your job, make sure there will be no turning back.
Always choose something that you love, I promise you that it will be worth it.
Another tip is "wag agad maghahangad ng promotion", Ate. Tama vaaa? Ganiyan kasi kapitbahay namin eh. Madalas mag-rant na di man lang daw itaas position n'ya eh baguhan lang naman s'ya. And based on what I observed at her, reklamador and late pang pumasok palagi. Gash!
Ngayon pa lang is nag-ispot na ako ng job hirings, Ate eh. Dami sa ibang bansa na related sa course & passion ko, diploma na lang talaga kulang. Sana maka-graduate na next year ~ 🙏🏻
