Finding Job here in the Philippines is difficult?

It is truly a predicament by many graduates every year not just in the nursing profession. You want (and very eager) to work but you lack experience owing to the fact that you are new, fresh from the stem graduate and the hard thing is, this work experience is what the company wants. The problem sometimes with our educational system is that it focuses to much on academics. Students are so intelligent enough to memorize out-of-this-world medical terms, solve complicated mathematical equations, topnotch in board exams, but so helpless in finding a job that will let him earn and feed himself. Many, if not all, only begin to learn "jungle survival" after graduation and not during the school years. Personally, I find many educational institutions flawed in this area of teaching. Anyway, I hope you find a good job in that site. Be careful also in choosing the agency you want to engage with. A lot of job agencies are only after three things: first, money, second, money, and third, money without any genuine concern for the applicant. Good day Jackie! :-)

You're absolutely right I took up this course mainly because to go abroad. How can I do that where in fact I dont have experience. Im just waiting for the right time to come that I can work in a hospital. I'll drop by the site you mention later.

Still hoping for the best. Hoping that luck strike me with hardwork of course. Never give up. Im still persistent.Just smile I knoe everything will turn out fine.

I dont have any choice but to applied not related to my fields. It really feels depressing and sad. Sometimes, I regret the course I chose.

If worst come to worst then I will look for a job thats not related on my course. But as much as possible should be related to my course. Lets just see. Im not losing hope I know everything will be alright.

HI eileen Im already a registered nurse. Finding a job in lign with your profession is aint easy. There just too many nurses here in the Philippines. As for now Im considering doing vounteer works in government hospital. It's just so sad that Im paying for it. I'll just charge it into my experience.

Most of nursing graduates here are considering BPO industry. Indeed its a high salary but for me its not a stable job. Someday you feel that you must practice your profession. Salary for me is not an issue as long as Im happy with my job. Although you are qualified for that position but if someone had connections inside you'll be left out.

HI louievill, Im also thinking of having a small business like RTW clothes or venture into sales marketing. I do appreciate your ideas. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you for the encouragement. I just feel depressed because I can't practice my profession. As for now Im considering doing volunteer work and attending seminars and training in Basic life support just to update my nursing career. I do hope someday I can able to practice what I've learned.

Hi something big. I already considered going abroad. I submitted all my requirements in different agencies and yet I haven't receive a calls. Attended a job fair both local and overseas but still no update. But, still I'm not losing hope.
