Do you have difficulty finding a job according to the course you graduated?

Hi! I am a nurse but I am working in the BPO industry. Sadly, finding a job in the hospital is quite hard since there are a lot of nurses now. I am thinking of quitting my job right now and do some volunteer work if I don't get hired. That is why I am trying out ways on how to earn online to supplement my earnings. :)

Hello ecyang. It is a sad fact that indeed, journalists here in the Philippines are not given as much attention if one cannot get into a media-related job. If you can't land on the newspapers or media networks, then you'll have to content yourself with jobs which are not really in line with the course that you took. I'm also a Mass Comm Grad from UP and I've had to content myself spending a lot of years on HR and Administrative work simply because I did not want to go into the more risky careers of journalists. Media careers pay well but the risks and the demands of the job are not really worth it -- at least from my perspective. But I have given all that up now -- I resigned from my latest job last March --, since I am already 43 and I have decided to go back into writing. I have since put up my own website, am now doing freelance writing jobs, and I could say that I am earning more in a month now than what I had been making monthly for the past 8.5 years. My advice to you though is to try to see if you can find a full-time job for the meantime. You are still young and you still have a lot of options. Also, try to be open-minded in learning new things. I, for one, did not have any formal training in computers, but look where I am working now. Too, don't ever get tired of reading, and when you get the chance, practice your writing skills so you won't forget the basics. Good luck my friend. I wish you well.

I am an accountancy graduate here in the Philippines. I have not find difficulty in finding jobs related to accounting. There are lots of companies that are hiring accounting staff. I do admit that there is competition but it is not a problem. The only problem is with regard to the salary that they offer. It is not that much compared to working on business outsourcing companies.
