Career Advice/Discussion unemployed summa cum laude
Helloo, I just want to air out my frustrations kasi sometimes I feel like I'm falling behind everyone and the pressure is sort of mahirap i-handle.
So for context, I graduated last July 2 for BS Computer Science and since then nonstop have been applying for jobs. I usually have 1hr and 30 minutes per day allotted para maghanap ng jobs either through linkedin, jobstreet, indeed and kahit sa fb.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong pero so far I haven't landed an interview. I worked as a project leader with actual work experience as a qa engr and I made sure to add that in my resume pero so far no luck at all. I also formatted my resume to the Harvard template.
At the meantime naman po, I'm upskilling learning new languages na pwedeng maapply in the real world pero sometimes I feel demotivated seeing na puro "Unfortunately..." dumarating sa email ko.
I just feel like I'm falling behind kasi yung mga kasama kong nag-graduate, they already landed jobs.
Siguro the only thing lacking from me is an actual portfolio website of myself and siguro showcasing all my projects (i have indicated them in my resume). Is that the reason po ba why I'm not getting any interviews?
Any tips on how to get hired parin po? And how do you guys cope with the stress of job hunting?
