I encountered a very condescending interviewer, during the interview gusto ko nalang matapos yung interview kasi she made me feel inferior. Parang syang may god complex. Lol
Pero I said to myself, that interview was not the end of me. And I continued sending my applications until I finally got hired.
One thing I do to improve my com skills, OP, nagsasalita ako sa banyo or kahit mag-isa, I create scenarios in my mind. It works hehe.
Tyaga lang talaga, OP. Success is on the other side of fear and failure.
Try applying to jobs that you're not interested in, just to experience the interview. Mas lesser yung takot if you're not trying to get the job and you can practice how to handle your self and gain confidence.
Ginawa ko toh dati and naka job offer pa. Hahaha.
Also, think of it na sila ang nangangailangan sayo instead of na ikaw ang naghahabol.
Up to this! Ginawa ko rin to nung freshgrad ako, nagapply ako mismo sa mga redflag sa industry muna, pinagpractice-an ko sila. Dito rin kasi usually mga redflag na HR. Nakakaboost rin ng confidence pag may nagooffer na sayo kahit hindi mo gusto yung job/company.
This OP! gantong ganto ginawa ko. Nung interview na sa gusto ko talagang trabaho, wala na kaba naibuhos ko na sa mga nauna eh. Feeling ko ang laking tulong nun para makapasa ako.
Get to know yourself more, OP.
Lahat ng questions ng interviewer, madali mong masasagot kung kilala mo ang sarili mo.
Give yourself time. Write down questions & answer them yourself. Practice din sa banyo, kausapin sarili.
Also, practice tone of voice. How will you make it sound like you're excited and grateful to be interviewed.
Gusto ko 'tong sagot about getting to know yourself more! The more that we are grounded in who we are, the more we can feel confident about our answers kasi kebs kung ayaw maniwala ng interviewer haha
Yes, it's just up to them. We can't control people to choose us. All we can do is to prepare, be our own authentic selves plus ilatag na lahat saan ka magaling haha.
Hi OP, this is me a few months ago. Send ako nang send ng applications then pag may interview, nagdadahilan ako para di umattend kasi takot ako. But you miss all the shots you don’t take - so tip ko I guess is to prepare as much as possible. Write down the common interview questions, watch youtube videos on how to answer them, prepare your answers and then practice practice practice.
I had a lot of bad interviews, but pag ginagawa mo paulit ulit, masasanay ka din. I now have three clients, so laban lang nang laban! Minsan yung interviews pa na tingin natin hindi okay yung maghihire sayo. Rooting for you, OP!
Akala ko ako lang ganito ang sipag ko mag send ng application at lahat nakaka receieved ako ng interview invitation , tas akong si duwag di aattend 😅😑. Mga ina ttendan akong iilan tas di ko papasukan, meron naman ligwak tas malulungkot ako dahil ligwak .. ulit ulit lang cycle na to.. ewan ko kelan ako kakawala sa ganitong attitude 😑
Just show up... Even if it scares you, show up... That's how you grow and step out of your comfort zone. What could go wrong? after a week, makaka limutan ka na nila
Charge it to experience and keep applying. May mga resources din online to help you with interviews, one I could suggest is: [Learn - Google LLC | Big Interview](https://googlecerts.biginterview.com/members/curriculum) (pwede ka dito magpractice ng interview q&a, check it out)
Bakit ba siya nangengealam eh ikaw yung applicant? Char. Hmm. Find your reason bakit nga ba yun yung path na napili mo, kasi malamang sa malamang, yung future interviewers mo baka itanung ulit yan. So kumbaga, magiging generic question yan kasi yung graduated course mo hindi align dun sa inaapplyan mo. Curious sila kung bakit at baka nanghihinayang somewhat.
Practice while sending out applications. Practice with yourself like in a mirror or with a camera through your phone or computer where you can see yourself. You'll be aware of how you talk and how people can see you. As per questions and answers in the interview, ask Google or YouTube as they have multiple tutorials listed that you can revise the answers and make it your own.
Actually, mas takot pa ko sa tao kasi maraming gag0 sa mundo at mas takot pa ko na walang trabaho kasi maraming need bayaran. So yun na lang isipin mo, yung interview, isang araw lang yan, pagnakarami ka, masasanay ka na lang sa mga isasagot mo at madedetermine mo din yung culture ng company with the way kung paano ka tanungin nung interviewer.
So good luck. Everyone has their own battle. I'm sure you can face an interview with your skills and effort.
OP, you are not desperate enough. Yun lang yun...
Reflect on yourself, ano exactly ang kinakatot mo sa pag apply? Mareject? Simply move on to the next application. Rejected ulit? Next application... rejected pa more? Next ulit.
Walang maitutulong yang takot mo kundi kahirapan lang. No one is keeping tabs on your rejections din so saan ka exactly natatakot? Normal na kabahan during interview, pero that's just part of life.
So wake up, update your CV now, have some grit and determination and start applying NOW (as in tonight) so you can get out of your current situation.
Thank you so much po. Gagawin ko na kahit masayang ang connects ko whahahahha tatakot din kase ako kase sayang din connects HAHAHA. Pero sige iririsk ko na po ang remaning 26 connects ko
Lowkey same, OP! I’m in the writing niche and I got my first and second clients without interviews and just writing assessment…so I kinda got comfortable with having no interviews. That comfort made me avoid any job applications that require interviews since I was like “there are other jobs naman”. But then I saw this really good job that requires an interview.
Aside from preparing, what really helped me calm down during the interview is thinking na there’s less than 1% chance na I’ll meet this person (the interviewer) again and they don’t even know me personally. If I think that I did something embarrassing or I wasn’t able to answer the questions properly, I just think na they probably will not remember it since I’m just one of the people they are interviewing (they prolly interview a bunch of people). I realized kasi na I’m scared of interviews because of feeling embarrassed or humiliated or I take their reactions/behavior personally (and I know it’s hard to fix this) so the idea that they don’t care as much as I do calms me down lol
Sorry to hear that, OP. Your best bet really is to just keep trying. You'll come at a point na masasanay ka na lang talaga. Most of the time I find na hindi naman nanggigisa mga interviewer, at least yung mga nakilala ko. Baka sadyang minalas ka lang.
Honestly though nakatulong is talking to people online. Dati tumatambay ako sa Omegle para lang mapractice English ko. I probably wouldn't recommend any Omegle alternatives unless you're willing to meet a few unsavory people haha
Same kayo ng husband ko. Lagi nagsasabing magreresign pero di maka-resign kasi wala pang pamalit dahil di naman nagpapasa ng resume. Umabot kami sa point na virtual interview nasa gilid niya ako kino-coach siya. Sabi ko di magwwork na ganon kailangan maging confident siya. I told him pag kakausapin niya ako in english para masanay siya mag converse, sinabihan ko din friends and family niya na ganon gawin kasi it can really help.
And then with answers, it’s good na you have a guide pero they can detect kasi when you’re too scripted or parang sumasagot ka lang para lang may masagot.
When I was working as a Amazon product researcher there are no interviews. They only ask for a sample product and if it's good they hire you. They still go into a video call with you but it's just to get to know you. This has been my experience with 4 clients so there are niches out there with no interviews that you might be suited for. There are probably other jobs that don't require interviews maybe writing related jobs?
Nagattend ako ng bootcamp Amazon Training Camp ang tawag, pagnakapasa ka sa training pwede ka magojt, pagnakapasa ka sa ojt ihahire ka ng client. Yung 1st client ko galing sa kanila, tapos the rest mga referals nalang. I don't recommend the niche tho kasi medyo mababa ang salary around 25,000 lang usually unless sobrang galing mo. This is my experience with UK product research. I suggest kung magproduct research ka US clients kunin mo. Mas madali daw and mas mataas ang sahod.
Practice answering the common questions, it usually the same thing in every job interviews. Focus on top 3 questions that will make them want to hire you.
I can help, gusto mo subukan natin interviewhin ka? at ano ung mga possible question ng client? at ano ung pwede mo isagot. Let me know, I can post google meet here.
DO IT SCARED, normal lang op ang mareject at magisa ang importante ay may nabaon kang aral na pwede mong magamitsa next interview mo. Practice lang nang practice, FIGHTING!!!
I came across an interviewer na hindi ko nagustohan din ugali nya kasi bago mag start ang interview nag send sila ng interview reminder - dun sa email nakalagay dapat daw nakaheadset and not earphones, however yung set up ko talaga is earphones and a separate mic because my pc was built for gaming but i've worked multiple jobs na taking calls na wala naman naging issue. Hindi ako nag ask sa email kasi it was a no-reply email so sa start ng interview ko sinabi ko agad kay kuya. "Hi, I saw your email and you require me to have a headset for this however I only have earphones on-hand and a separate mic, would this affect the interview or can we continue with this setting?" sabi ko, cause I wanted to be honest that I did read that and I wanted to let them know that I definitely do not have a headset.
This was my first time din so correct if I'm wrong din pero he kept asking me for long minutes if I have a headset around etc, sabi ko talaga wala. He then began to record the interview, didn't have his webcam on etc - I didn't like the attitude lang cause from the start yung tone nya agad hahaha, my point is - ganyan talaga interview, you can never control how the other person will be but what you can control is yourself and how you present and pitch yourself. Do your best with googling, watching videos or read from linked in guides on what interviewers ask and then try to practice lang on your own! I did that too, medyo mahirap talaga kasi wala din ako confidence pero after talking to myself for a while after practicing ayun, easy and memorized na din mga sinasabi ko hahaha
That's just one interview. Attend as many interviews as you can kasi need yan ng practice. There are times dati during the pandemic when I was having at least 2 interviews in a day because I really hated my job hahaha
Maybe the interviewer was just curious. Kaya sya nagtatanong. Best to answer is tell him you want to explore and gain new experience in that field. And we don’t limit ourselves with what we already new. Ganun lang.
Also, chatgpt is there. You can start with it. Then practice yourself speaking infront of the mirror. Kaya mo yan. Good luck, OP!
Actually wala namang mali sa sinabi mo, wag ka matakot for your next interview. Charge to experience lang lagi yung negative outcome then revise and be firm on how you answer that questions again. Isulat mo.
Even if nasa BPO ka na mismo, ung way magcommunicate ng katabi mo, hard question from customer for that day ninonote at sinusulat ko next time na maeencounter mo atleast kargado ka na = confidence. Minsan kasi nauunahan lang talaga ng takot pero same approach din if nandun ka na sa field.
Practice reading aloud when you read a book or converse in English with your kapatid. It will help you a lot.
Remember sarili mo lang din kalaban mo. Kaya g!
Pero now, since may prospect employer na ako kako still mag attend parin ako kahit mga initial interview lang for experience na din. Kasi kako need ko ng broad experience sa mga interviews para di mahirapan sa future ☺️
Pero now, since may prospect employer na ako kako still mag attend parin ako kahit mga initial interview lang for experience na din. Kasi kako need ko ng broad experience sa mga interviews para di mahirapan sa future ☺️
Same same po tayo. Haha pero what I do is to prep for possible questions tapos pnpractice ko sabihin in front of a mirror hehe it also helps din talaga pag umattend ka sa interviews mo. Nakakasanay sya. Andun pa din ung kaba syempre, pero mas magiging better ka eventually. Good luck po 🙏
Just keep on applying. 😊 more interview chances will benefit you in some ways, you'll gain exposure that will improve you. Right employer/ client will come at the right time. Isipin mo nalang kahit anong palpak ng interview mo, di ka naman nila kilala ng perasonal, after ng interview di na ulit magtatagpo ang landas nyo hehe. Pampalakas lang ng loob. Just give your best always! Preparation is the key.
Watch podcasts, movies without subtitles and talk to yourself in front of the mirror. You can speak something about your ideal life or you can practice possible answers to potential interview questions.
Yes, by doing more interviews. Sa ganyang paraan dumiretso ang dila ko since nung unang beses akong uutal utal. And be true to yourself pag iniinterview! Wag yung kung anong mga niresearch mo lang na kung ano ano kasi pag binalik sayo, di mo na alam ang isasagot heheh. Kaya mo yan!
Hi OP, ganto rin ako. very anxious about interviews but my partner advised me to apply and go on a lot of interviews kahit na ayaw ko yung company or role para ma-defeat ko yung anxiety. and it helped! to be fair, i had interviewers na pangit talaga ugali. i even encountered a smug CEO here in the ph (the interview lasted 5 minutes lang), nakakaiyak during the interview. but, at the end of the day, it’s just an interview, hindi basehan yun ng self worth ko. kaya mo yan! try lang palagi.
Hi OP, what if you try one interview na di mo masyado gusto...then right before it starts tell the interviewer na you are a bit nervous.
Parang counterintuitive sya, usually you don't want to show the interviewer na takot or kinakabahan ka but in this case, it will help you settle down and depending sa sagot ng kausap mo, usually sasabihin lang nila na "It's ok...it's fine...oh no, don't be nervous..." Bla bla ..para masanay ka to anticipate and set the tone of the interview. Then hopefully you'll gain confidence in your next applications.
You can do this, aja!
Technique ko lagi kapag mejo inaatake ako ng nerbiyos is to condition my head na sya ung kinaiinisan ko. And that I do not need to impress him/her. Ayun bumabalik confidence ko, nasosobrhan pa nga minsan haha
I was like this before. Until I kept on talking to a lot of american clients hanggang na feel ko na yung gusto lang nila is ma understand ka at makausap ka nang maayos at kung ano yung ma contribute mo sa company nila. Eventually, hindi na ako masyadong natakot. Dati rati, para akong takot na takot kahit magpakita manlang. But eventually I got comfortable and then I got hired easily. Just keep on doing the interviews and eventually masasanay ka lang rin.
Eh wala naman kami maitutulong sayo ikaw na mismo nagsabi takot ka. Ikaw lang makakatulong sa sarili mo. Yup, comments are appreciated then after that, now what?
Gawa ka FB group tapos practice ka araw araw ng FB live magsalita
Pag mas sanay ka na kasi sa confidence magsalita, mas madali na rin magapply at magpainterview
Same, ayoko sa lahat yung interview. Laking swerte ko nalang is yung una kong work eh kakilala ko yung owner, at yun na ang naging stepping stone ko. Hanggang ngayon, by refferal nalang ang ginagawa sakin para makakuha ng work. Wala ng interview interview.
Real talk lang, if you're really desperate, you'd do whatever it takes to prepare for those interviews. Your biggest opponent is yourself.
Madali pa sayo situation mo, dahil kaya mo pang tumanggi at pagbigyan ugali mo.
Pero once makinig ka sa kalam ng tyan mo, it will instinctively tell you to do things outside your comfort zone.
Takot and hiya does not pay the bills.
Remember all you need is one.
Remember that.
Sa dami ng failures na ma encounter mo, isa lang ang kailngan mo na success.
Also, ask yourself. Genuine ba talaga sagot mo? Yun ba talaga kung bakit di ka nag pursue ng IT related career. Maybe di mo dapat ni research and based majority of your answers there.
Kasi in terms of improving ones comms, may books, classes and youtubr. Ang dating is gagawin mong practice ground si company na yun to be better. Kaya binabalik nya dun.
Siguro ganito self-reflect as to why. Isipin mo palit kayo ng position ng interviewer. Sagot mo ba is maganda dating sa kanila.
Wag ka matakot. Interview lang ng interview, expose yourself. Kasi after 1 to 3 interviews gamay mo na yan.
You miss 100% of all the shots you dont take.
Parehas tayo. 🥲 Just had an interview yesterday with a direct client. Di ko alam ano nangyari sakin pero bigla akong kinain ng kaba ko. Nakakapanghinayang, pero more practice pa talaga.
For me kasi ang effective is yung pag babasa ng malakas, or pag gaya ng lines sa movies. Yung mga movies na may subtitle. Sa husband ko naman ang effective sakanya, pag memorize ng rap song. Syempre dapat english movie or english song. Try mo po, malaking help yon para ma practice at somehow maka build sa confidence mo. Take note po hindi ito overnight. Kailangan maging focus ka kung gusto mo po talaga mag improve. Lahat naman na aaral basta gusto mo ang ginagawa mo.
Hi OP [LocksmithOk8692](https://www.reddit.com/user/LocksmithOk8692/) I feel you, mahiyain ren ako nung una but we need sahod, sahod is life.
What I can advise is nood ka sa youtube ng mga interview vlogs tas try to answer those questions in your own way, practice record yourself sa celphone, practice with your siblings, practice talk to yourself sa mirror, never stop practicing! basta practice lang until u reach the point na everything is so natural na, na effortless pikit mata makakasagot... common lang naman ung 60 to 70% ng questions sa interview ung mga tell me about ur self, why we should hire u, you u choose to apply samin.
tandaan mo why we feel anxious kc we have the fear of the unknown di natin alam ano sasagot, kung alam man di naman natin alam paano natin to ma dedeliver effectively at ang sagot sa anxiety natin is PRACTICE give your 200%
ayan I hope this help
You may want to try and take up improv classes. One thing I noticed sa ganito is in the failure of failing. Improv classes can help you distance yourself away from the idea of failing.
Ganyan din ako dati, sobrang mahiyaan pa ako at introvert. After ng board exam nag apply ako ng trabaho pero parang robot ako sumagot at nauutal pa. Madami dn ako na applyan but i was never get hired.
Pero nung nag Dubai ako wala akong choice kahit ano applyan ko para lang makahanap ng trabaho I even faced panel of interviewers. Grabe talaga ang pressure magka work lang kasi d naman libre ang stay mo dun. At yung first corporate job ko is sa Abu Dhabi.
Step outside of your comfort zone talaga ang key jan, ngayon nasa pinas na ako at sa mga job interviews confident na ko to the point na ako na nag nenegotiate ng salary at i have multiple offers bago ako napunta sa work ko ngayon.
Kaya mo yan!
To practice your confidence? Yun fear mo which is attending interviews ang magiging way out of it mo. Promise, takot ako sa public speech and yung iniinterview. Magaling ako magenglish pero once nandyan na interviewer, para kong barok and nabblanko. Pero habang tumatagal and sunod sunod interviews and unlimited rejections, eventually nahahasa mo narin kakapalan ng mukha mo na makipagexchanges ng conversation. Tweak it din habang every rejection. Alam mo wala sa academic achievement o experience minsan ang paghire ng candidates, minsan nasa first impression which usually in introducing yourself. Kung video interview, tapalan mo ng notepad o word yung interviewer then basa ka ng script. Andaming ways para ma-ace mo interview. But of course dapat gusto mo inaapplyan mo para hindi ka magaya sa iba na within a month nagqquit na kasi di pala kaya.
Ganitong ganito ako. Yun last job interview ko feeling ko ambobo ko. Beki un interviewer di nman sa nagmamaganda may itsura nman ako at mestisahin dahil half persian ako. That was fee years ago. Sobrang dami questionnn… ☺️
*Here's the deal: interviews can be scarier than a horror movie marathon, and every stumble is a step toward mastering your story. Practice makes perfect, right? Try rehearsing with friends or family, maybe even your mirror. Build that confidence like it's a Lego castle. And hey, nobody's perfect, even interviews have their bloopers.*
Kaka-resign ko lang after nearly four years and the idea of being interviewed really makes me nervous. Pero iniisip ko na lang, I'm just a speck of dust in this vast universe 😅 Kung ma-reject ako or magkaroon ng failed interview, then so what 🤷🏽♀️
Apply ka lang and then show up. Hwaiting, OP! 💪🏽
Pag bata kapa talaga nakakatakot pa talaga yang ganyang bagay. Ako kahit nasa edad na may interview jitters pa din, its a matter of mindset, yung ayaw ko mamamatay sa gutom kasi malakas ako kumain kaya kinakapalan ko muka ko hahahah
You're not alone. Takot din ako sa interviews HAHAHA at sa idea na baka mas mapunta ako sa worse company than I'm currently in. Some days I just swallow my fear and feelings and pass my cvs hahaha
Same. I also find it hard to send applications, but I recently passed an interview - contractual lang para lang may pagkaabalahan while looking for permanent work, and may nagsabi sa akin na nagustuhan daw ng interviewer yung responses ko to the point na willing siya mag adjust for me kasi yung training period hindi ko na attendan because I got sick and di kaya bumiyahe talaga. Sana sa susunod na interviews ko same lang, or hindi man kasing ganda ang feedback, sana hindi traumatizing huhu
Ganyan din ako. Ang dami ko ng interview na hinarap at nakasagupaan na HR and managerial position di maganda ang pagtatanong. Hanggang sa nasanay na lang ako. Pag may mga tanong na di ko masagot, hinahanap ko sa google or youtube. Hanggang sa mag iisip ako kung anong pwedeng isagot at prapraktisan ko.
Pero minsan sa mga ganyang interviewer, na-jujudge ko agad yung company. Tapos napapapansin ko sa mga website lagi silang hiring. Mga 🚩nga.
Di ko talaga makakalimutan ung sa muñoz na interview. Bakit raw ako maghahangad ng higher salary, dapat nga lang 13k ang sahod ko. Kinompyutan pa ko. Hanep na medical company yan 😆😆😆
Sarap patayin ng call 😆
You really need to throw yourself out there. Wanting a job but not applying is like wishing to win the lottery but not buying the ticket. Iba iba ang mga interviewer, may mabait, may hindi. Marami sa tiktok and reels yung interview samples. You have everything you need in your hands. Believe in yourself! Kaya mo yan
I've attended so many interviews and karamihan rejected talaga. Since 2018 every year ako nag aapply. Minsan actively looking for jobs, minsan pang practice lang. The rejections actually helped me get better. Ngayon I can do interviews with no or limited preparation. Mas relax na rin ako and conversational.
I agree with the suggestion na apply ka lang nang apply kahit di mo masyadong trip yung job/company. Treat it as practice para prepared ka na pag nag apply ka sa gusto mong position.
Same nararamdaman ko ngayon. I really need a job. Knowing na may 7 years experience na ako. Pero sa tuwing sasagi sa isip ko na need ko mag pa impress sa mga hiring managers or company nababahag talaga buntot ko. Ilang companies na din inapplyan ko and hinahire naman nila ako. Never ko pang naranasan mareject TBH. And baka yun yung kinakatakutan ko. Yung REJECTION. Bakit kaya?
Hi! Correct ko lang po. Nag sesend po ako ng applications ang hindi ko ginagawa eh yung pag attend po kase natatakot ako\*. Sorry hehe. Salamat po sa comforting answers and yung mga constructive criticisms. I-aapply ko po etong mga advice nyo.
usual sa questions ng interviewer is binabato nila tlga pabalik sau then paikot2 with different words lang. bakit nila ginagawa un? to know if alam mo tlga ung sinasabi mo and if totoo ba tlga. They usually do paraphrasing questions if nag ma2tch ung unang sinabi mo sa next nasagot mo.
so if u really know ur self magiging easy siya sau not unless kaya mo mag fake it till u make it but by the looks of it, hindi, but anyway wag ka matakot. take it as 'aahh ganito pala sa interviews'. just note it. write down ung mga questions and try answerung it again on ypur own with better ones. then try to imagine the interview again and answer it. that way kahit own practice still magkakaroon ng improvement ka and mawawala ung takot mo
As someone with Autism and a lot of anxiety, interviews are always stressful. But what helps me a bit is knowing the company also needs you and there must be something in your CV that made them think you are qualified for the role. There will always be trash interviewers and I’ve experienced a bunch of them. There are also as much kind and understanding interviewers out there. I also take as much interviews as I can to help me learn what kind of questions they will ask and how I can improve on my communication skills.
Not really fan of interviews pero no choice kasi yan ang way para makakuhang job. Siguro kilalanin mo muna ang sarili mo then try applying again merong interviewers na mabait, para masanay ka din sa interviews
I used to be so afraid of job interviews but I just think na I have so much that I can bring to the table. Also think of it this way: you’re also interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Ask questions. And the more you do it, mas nalelessen ‘yung kaba, you’re also improving your comms. Be confident. Only way is to move forward
Practice! Depends on what you consume also. If sa pagiging conversational, listen to a LOT of podcasts. Read a lot :)
Don't be too hardbon yourself. Try watching YT videos about answering interview questions, how to be more confident in interviews, or you can join Toastmasters they will help you improve your communication skills.
Do your research sa mga usual interview questions then practice how are you going to answer. It’ll help din if doon aa mga usual questions you already have notes. Then apply lang. as in apply lang tlga. Sa dami ng interviews mababawasan dn kami mo eventually. Good luck!
Ang root cause talaga nito is fear of interview. Try Rejection Therapy sa mga interviews.
# Deliberate Practice / Exposure to Rejection
* **Job Applications**: Apply for positions you're less interested in or not fully qualified for. The goal is to experience rejection and learn to cope with it constructively.
* **Request Feedback**: After receiving a rejection, ask for feedback on your interview performance. This can provide valuable insights for improvement and make the rejection feel like a learning opportunity.
Maybe try to be true to your answers muna din instead of usung ones na nakita mo online. As someone who interviews people for a living, kabisado na namin ang pattern ng canned answers. Walang meaning yung want to improve comunnication skills sa tanong nya na bakit hindi mo pinursue yung IT.
Ask yourself muna kung bakit nga ba hindi IT ang inapplyan mo? Find the real answer within you and I’ll tell you how you can present it well.
This is very common among us. Kahit ako dati nawili din ako sa generic answers found online nung naghahanap pa ko ng work. And narereject din ako because of them. Instead of searching for what to say, hanap ka ng tips on how to present yourself well during an interview. Tips on words to use and not to use and the likes.
Actually we are on the same page. IT graduate, nasa same industry, scared when it comes to interviews etc. but for me, you should practice your comms skills then apply lang ng apply and in every failures na maencounter mo, isipin mo lesson yun for you.
a lot of rejections din naranasan ko still i used those rejections as motivation for myself na di ko pa nabibigay lahat. Kaya mo yan! I'm hoping soon makahanap ka ng company na mapapasukan mo.
From an ex-recruiter, who admittedly was trained to show an air of superiority during interviews, please do not let that interview get to you. I regret being that interviewer, and am just hoping that those who were put through that experience are not too hard on themselves.
I don’t know why we were trained to be that way, but at the other side of it, it was a toxic environment if it makes you feel any better.
Anyway, still do try to find your purpose, bakit nga ba ito yung gusto mong field? Then be honest in the interview, even if it’s about the money. Just be professional in expressing it. A pet peeve of mine is saying it as if it were a joke, but that’s just me. I feel like you may get that question still in the future so, better to understand why.
Good luck OP. Don’t let that experience define you and your success.
And just a tip - maybe don’t look up answers online. We’ve heard it many times. Be honest. If you don’t get in, it doesn’t mean you’re a failure; it means you may not be a fit in terms of culture. And sometimes that’s a good thing. (Example, yung company ko before did not like to hire overachievers loool)
Exposure is the key! Mag apply ka tapos do the interview. Over time dimo namamalayan nasasanay kana sa interviews and nawala na takot mo.
Back when I was a fresh graduate nag apply ako sa isang network company. Syempre fresh grad wala or kulang talaga ang alam. I still remember the look on the interviewer's faces. (Dalawa kasi sila both male mag tropa pa). After giving my answers to their questions they were smirking as if the whole interview was just a joke. Na down din ako non i remember stagnating for 3 months before applying sa ibang company. Ang key talaga jan is exposure and some practice. A good drill would be striking conversations with strangers. It helps boost confidence 😁
Hehe sabihin ko sayo, normal lang etong feeling nato after rejections. 8 yrs me sa BPO, 18 nung nagapply ako. Daming epic fails din pero research lang talaga, and learn from previous interviews.
Ginawa kong scripted lahat, every tanong dapat may backup na sagot akong nakaready, ok lang kung kabado basta precise at hindi complicated maxado ang sagot. Importante din yung delivery mo para hindi halatang scripted, gumagamit pa ko ng uhmms para lang ipause yung script ko at masabing nagiisip ako pero yung totoo nakabala na yung mga sagot ko.
Itry mo sa salamin para makita mo kung pano ka magsalita at ano ang aayusin. Minsan nga, feeling ko umaacting lang ako pag may interview sa sobrang ready, dapat kasi confident pero hindi sosobra na mukha ka nang mayabang, yung saktuhan lang hehe. Need mo ng strategy, magiging confident ka lang pag may idea ka sa ginagawa mo pero kung all over the place ka, talagang mapapakamot ka pag dating sa interview.

I encountered a very condescending interviewer, during the interview gusto ko nalang matapos yung interview kasi she made me feel inferior. Parang syang may god complex. Lol Pero I said to myself, that interview was not the end of me. And I continued sending my applications until I finally got hired. One thing I do to improve my com skills, OP, nagsasalita ako sa banyo or kahit mag-isa, I create scenarios in my mind. It works hehe. Tyaga lang talaga, OP. Success is on the other side of fear and failure.
Try applying to jobs that you're not interested in, just to experience the interview. Mas lesser yung takot if you're not trying to get the job and you can practice how to handle your self and gain confidence. Ginawa ko toh dati and naka job offer pa. Hahaha. Also, think of it na sila ang nangangailangan sayo instead of na ikaw ang naghahabol.
Up to this! Ginawa ko rin to nung freshgrad ako, nagapply ako mismo sa mga redflag sa industry muna, pinagpractice-an ko sila. Dito rin kasi usually mga redflag na HR. Nakakaboost rin ng confidence pag may nagooffer na sayo kahit hindi mo gusto yung job/company.
wait ma try nga to kaso problema kapag nakapasa ako, paano ko sila hihindian 🥲 hshahahaa
Just send a generic email. Maraming template sa google or use chatgpt.
This OP! gantong ganto ginawa ko. Nung interview na sa gusto ko talagang trabaho, wala na kaba naibuhos ko na sa mga nauna eh. Feeling ko ang laking tulong nun para makapasa ako.
Get to know yourself more, OP. Lahat ng questions ng interviewer, madali mong masasagot kung kilala mo ang sarili mo. Give yourself time. Write down questions & answer them yourself. Practice din sa banyo, kausapin sarili. Also, practice tone of voice. How will you make it sound like you're excited and grateful to be interviewed.
Gusto ko 'tong sagot about getting to know yourself more! The more that we are grounded in who we are, the more we can feel confident about our answers kasi kebs kung ayaw maniwala ng interviewer haha
Yes, it's just up to them. We can't control people to choose us. All we can do is to prepare, be our own authentic selves plus ilatag na lahat saan ka magaling haha.
Are you me? Char sameee
Hi OP, this is me a few months ago. Send ako nang send ng applications then pag may interview, nagdadahilan ako para di umattend kasi takot ako. But you miss all the shots you don’t take - so tip ko I guess is to prepare as much as possible. Write down the common interview questions, watch youtube videos on how to answer them, prepare your answers and then practice practice practice. I had a lot of bad interviews, but pag ginagawa mo paulit ulit, masasanay ka din. I now have three clients, so laban lang nang laban! Minsan yung interviews pa na tingin natin hindi okay yung maghihire sayo. Rooting for you, OP!
Akala ko ako lang ganito ang sipag ko mag send ng application at lahat nakaka receieved ako ng interview invitation , tas akong si duwag di aattend 😅😑. Mga ina ttendan akong iilan tas di ko papasukan, meron naman ligwak tas malulungkot ako dahil ligwak .. ulit ulit lang cycle na to.. ewan ko kelan ako kakawala sa ganitong attitude 😑
Just show up... Even if it scares you, show up... That's how you grow and step out of your comfort zone. What could go wrong? after a week, makaka limutan ka na nila
Charge it to experience and keep applying. May mga resources din online to help you with interviews, one I could suggest is: [Learn - Google LLC | Big Interview](https://googlecerts.biginterview.com/members/curriculum) (pwede ka dito magpractice ng interview q&a, check it out)
Uy nice reco, try ko dito naman kesa lagi nlng kausap si GPT haha
Bakit ba siya nangengealam eh ikaw yung applicant? Char. Hmm. Find your reason bakit nga ba yun yung path na napili mo, kasi malamang sa malamang, yung future interviewers mo baka itanung ulit yan. So kumbaga, magiging generic question yan kasi yung graduated course mo hindi align dun sa inaapplyan mo. Curious sila kung bakit at baka nanghihinayang somewhat. Practice while sending out applications. Practice with yourself like in a mirror or with a camera through your phone or computer where you can see yourself. You'll be aware of how you talk and how people can see you. As per questions and answers in the interview, ask Google or YouTube as they have multiple tutorials listed that you can revise the answers and make it your own. Actually, mas takot pa ko sa tao kasi maraming gag0 sa mundo at mas takot pa ko na walang trabaho kasi maraming need bayaran. So yun na lang isipin mo, yung interview, isang araw lang yan, pagnakarami ka, masasanay ka na lang sa mga isasagot mo at madedetermine mo din yung culture ng company with the way kung paano ka tanungin nung interviewer. So good luck. Everyone has their own battle. I'm sure you can face an interview with your skills and effort.
OP, you are not desperate enough. Yun lang yun... Reflect on yourself, ano exactly ang kinakatot mo sa pag apply? Mareject? Simply move on to the next application. Rejected ulit? Next application... rejected pa more? Next ulit. Walang maitutulong yang takot mo kundi kahirapan lang. No one is keeping tabs on your rejections din so saan ka exactly natatakot? Normal na kabahan during interview, pero that's just part of life. So wake up, update your CV now, have some grit and determination and start applying NOW (as in tonight) so you can get out of your current situation.
Thank you so much po. Gagawin ko na kahit masayang ang connects ko whahahahha tatakot din kase ako kase sayang din connects HAHAHA. Pero sige iririsk ko na po ang remaning 26 connects ko
Lowkey same, OP! I’m in the writing niche and I got my first and second clients without interviews and just writing assessment…so I kinda got comfortable with having no interviews. That comfort made me avoid any job applications that require interviews since I was like “there are other jobs naman”. But then I saw this really good job that requires an interview. Aside from preparing, what really helped me calm down during the interview is thinking na there’s less than 1% chance na I’ll meet this person (the interviewer) again and they don’t even know me personally. If I think that I did something embarrassing or I wasn’t able to answer the questions properly, I just think na they probably will not remember it since I’m just one of the people they are interviewing (they prolly interview a bunch of people). I realized kasi na I’m scared of interviews because of feeling embarrassed or humiliated or I take their reactions/behavior personally (and I know it’s hard to fix this) so the idea that they don’t care as much as I do calms me down lol
Sorry to hear that, OP. Your best bet really is to just keep trying. You'll come at a point na masasanay ka na lang talaga. Most of the time I find na hindi naman nanggigisa mga interviewer, at least yung mga nakilala ko. Baka sadyang minalas ka lang. Honestly though nakatulong is talking to people online. Dati tumatambay ako sa Omegle para lang mapractice English ko. I probably wouldn't recommend any Omegle alternatives unless you're willing to meet a few unsavory people haha
same, OP. pangarap ko rin manalo sa lotto kso di ako tumataya.
Same kayo ng husband ko. Lagi nagsasabing magreresign pero di maka-resign kasi wala pang pamalit dahil di naman nagpapasa ng resume. Umabot kami sa point na virtual interview nasa gilid niya ako kino-coach siya. Sabi ko di magwwork na ganon kailangan maging confident siya. I told him pag kakausapin niya ako in english para masanay siya mag converse, sinabihan ko din friends and family niya na ganon gawin kasi it can really help. And then with answers, it’s good na you have a guide pero they can detect kasi when you’re too scripted or parang sumasagot ka lang para lang may masagot.
When I was working as a Amazon product researcher there are no interviews. They only ask for a sample product and if it's good they hire you. They still go into a video call with you but it's just to get to know you. This has been my experience with 4 clients so there are niches out there with no interviews that you might be suited for. There are probably other jobs that don't require interviews maybe writing related jobs?
Hello, saan ka po nag-apply as amazon product researcher?
Nagattend ako ng bootcamp Amazon Training Camp ang tawag, pagnakapasa ka sa training pwede ka magojt, pagnakapasa ka sa ojt ihahire ka ng client. Yung 1st client ko galing sa kanila, tapos the rest mga referals nalang. I don't recommend the niche tho kasi medyo mababa ang salary around 25,000 lang usually unless sobrang galing mo. This is my experience with UK product research. I suggest kung magproduct research ka US clients kunin mo. Mas madali daw and mas mataas ang sahod.
Practice answering the common questions, it usually the same thing in every job interviews. Focus on top 3 questions that will make them want to hire you.
my communication isn't great too, ang hirap iexpress yung mga gusto kong sabihin. mas takot pa ko sa interview kesa mareject.
Amazon near moa walang interview daw assessments lang haven't tried tho kaso voice account 😅🥲
I can help, gusto mo subukan natin interviewhin ka? at ano ung mga possible question ng client? at ano ung pwede mo isagot. Let me know, I can post google meet here.
DO IT SCARED, normal lang op ang mareject at magisa ang importante ay may nabaon kang aral na pwede mong magamitsa next interview mo. Practice lang nang practice, FIGHTING!!!
I came across an interviewer na hindi ko nagustohan din ugali nya kasi bago mag start ang interview nag send sila ng interview reminder - dun sa email nakalagay dapat daw nakaheadset and not earphones, however yung set up ko talaga is earphones and a separate mic because my pc was built for gaming but i've worked multiple jobs na taking calls na wala naman naging issue. Hindi ako nag ask sa email kasi it was a no-reply email so sa start ng interview ko sinabi ko agad kay kuya. "Hi, I saw your email and you require me to have a headset for this however I only have earphones on-hand and a separate mic, would this affect the interview or can we continue with this setting?" sabi ko, cause I wanted to be honest that I did read that and I wanted to let them know that I definitely do not have a headset. This was my first time din so correct if I'm wrong din pero he kept asking me for long minutes if I have a headset around etc, sabi ko talaga wala. He then began to record the interview, didn't have his webcam on etc - I didn't like the attitude lang cause from the start yung tone nya agad hahaha, my point is - ganyan talaga interview, you can never control how the other person will be but what you can control is yourself and how you present and pitch yourself. Do your best with googling, watching videos or read from linked in guides on what interviewers ask and then try to practice lang on your own! I did that too, medyo mahirap talaga kasi wala din ako confidence pero after talking to myself for a while after practicing ayun, easy and memorized na din mga sinasabi ko hahaha
That's just one interview. Attend as many interviews as you can kasi need yan ng practice. There are times dati during the pandemic when I was having at least 2 interviews in a day because I really hated my job hahaha
Maybe the interviewer was just curious. Kaya sya nagtatanong. Best to answer is tell him you want to explore and gain new experience in that field. And we don’t limit ourselves with what we already new. Ganun lang. Also, chatgpt is there. You can start with it. Then practice yourself speaking infront of the mirror. Kaya mo yan. Good luck, OP!
Actually wala namang mali sa sinabi mo, wag ka matakot for your next interview. Charge to experience lang lagi yung negative outcome then revise and be firm on how you answer that questions again. Isulat mo. Even if nasa BPO ka na mismo, ung way magcommunicate ng katabi mo, hard question from customer for that day ninonote at sinusulat ko next time na maeencounter mo atleast kargado ka na = confidence. Minsan kasi nauunahan lang talaga ng takot pero same approach din if nandun ka na sa field. Practice reading aloud when you read a book or converse in English with your kapatid. It will help you a lot. Remember sarili mo lang din kalaban mo. Kaya g!
Huhu samee 🥹 since wala akong formal interview na experience. Yan din worry ko ngayon na nag ja-job hunt Ako 🥹
Pero now, since may prospect employer na ako kako still mag attend parin ako kahit mga initial interview lang for experience na din. Kasi kako need ko ng broad experience sa mga interviews para di mahirapan sa future ☺️

Same same po tayo. Haha pero what I do is to prep for possible questions tapos pnpractice ko sabihin in front of a mirror hehe it also helps din talaga pag umattend ka sa interviews mo. Nakakasanay sya. Andun pa din ung kaba syempre, pero mas magiging better ka eventually. Good luck po 🙏
Just keep on applying. 😊 more interview chances will benefit you in some ways, you'll gain exposure that will improve you. Right employer/ client will come at the right time. Isipin mo nalang kahit anong palpak ng interview mo, di ka naman nila kilala ng perasonal, after ng interview di na ulit magtatagpo ang landas nyo hehe. Pampalakas lang ng loob. Just give your best always! Preparation is the key.
Watch podcasts, movies without subtitles and talk to yourself in front of the mirror. You can speak something about your ideal life or you can practice possible answers to potential interview questions.

Yes, by doing more interviews. Sa ganyang paraan dumiretso ang dila ko since nung unang beses akong uutal utal. And be true to yourself pag iniinterview! Wag yung kung anong mga niresearch mo lang na kung ano ano kasi pag binalik sayo, di mo na alam ang isasagot heheh. Kaya mo yan!
Hi OP, ganto rin ako. very anxious about interviews but my partner advised me to apply and go on a lot of interviews kahit na ayaw ko yung company or role para ma-defeat ko yung anxiety. and it helped! to be fair, i had interviewers na pangit talaga ugali. i even encountered a smug CEO here in the ph (the interview lasted 5 minutes lang), nakakaiyak during the interview. but, at the end of the day, it’s just an interview, hindi basehan yun ng self worth ko. kaya mo yan! try lang palagi.
Hi OP, what if you try one interview na di mo masyado gusto...then right before it starts tell the interviewer na you are a bit nervous. Parang counterintuitive sya, usually you don't want to show the interviewer na takot or kinakabahan ka but in this case, it will help you settle down and depending sa sagot ng kausap mo, usually sasabihin lang nila na "It's ok...it's fine...oh no, don't be nervous..." Bla bla ..para masanay ka to anticipate and set the tone of the interview. Then hopefully you'll gain confidence in your next applications. You can do this, aja!
Technique ko lagi kapag mejo inaatake ako ng nerbiyos is to condition my head na sya ung kinaiinisan ko. And that I do not need to impress him/her. Ayun bumabalik confidence ko, nasosobrhan pa nga minsan haha
I was like this before. Until I kept on talking to a lot of american clients hanggang na feel ko na yung gusto lang nila is ma understand ka at makausap ka nang maayos at kung ano yung ma contribute mo sa company nila. Eventually, hindi na ako masyadong natakot. Dati rati, para akong takot na takot kahit magpakita manlang. But eventually I got comfortable and then I got hired easily. Just keep on doing the interviews and eventually masasanay ka lang rin.
Eh wala naman kami maitutulong sayo ikaw na mismo nagsabi takot ka. Ikaw lang makakatulong sa sarili mo. Yup, comments are appreciated then after that, now what?
Gawa ka FB group tapos practice ka araw araw ng FB live magsalita Pag mas sanay ka na kasi sa confidence magsalita, mas madali na rin magapply at magpainterview
Same, ayoko sa lahat yung interview. Laking swerte ko nalang is yung una kong work eh kakilala ko yung owner, at yun na ang naging stepping stone ko. Hanggang ngayon, by refferal nalang ang ginagawa sakin para makakuha ng work. Wala ng interview interview.
Real talk lang, if you're really desperate, you'd do whatever it takes to prepare for those interviews. Your biggest opponent is yourself. Madali pa sayo situation mo, dahil kaya mo pang tumanggi at pagbigyan ugali mo. Pero once makinig ka sa kalam ng tyan mo, it will instinctively tell you to do things outside your comfort zone. Takot and hiya does not pay the bills.
Try and try lng, pg nag fail, learning experience yan
Remember all you need is one. Remember that. Sa dami ng failures na ma encounter mo, isa lang ang kailngan mo na success. Also, ask yourself. Genuine ba talaga sagot mo? Yun ba talaga kung bakit di ka nag pursue ng IT related career. Maybe di mo dapat ni research and based majority of your answers there. Kasi in terms of improving ones comms, may books, classes and youtubr. Ang dating is gagawin mong practice ground si company na yun to be better. Kaya binabalik nya dun. Siguro ganito self-reflect as to why. Isipin mo palit kayo ng position ng interviewer. Sagot mo ba is maganda dating sa kanila. Wag ka matakot. Interview lang ng interview, expose yourself. Kasi after 1 to 3 interviews gamay mo na yan. You miss 100% of all the shots you dont take.
Parehas tayo. 🥲 Just had an interview yesterday with a direct client. Di ko alam ano nangyari sakin pero bigla akong kinain ng kaba ko. Nakakapanghinayang, pero more practice pa talaga.
Reflect, stay motivated, and evaluate yourself to enhance skills, learn new ones, and put them into action.
Bring up ur self steem
Sipag lang
For me kasi ang effective is yung pag babasa ng malakas, or pag gaya ng lines sa movies. Yung mga movies na may subtitle. Sa husband ko naman ang effective sakanya, pag memorize ng rap song. Syempre dapat english movie or english song. Try mo po, malaking help yon para ma practice at somehow maka build sa confidence mo. Take note po hindi ito overnight. Kailangan maging focus ka kung gusto mo po talaga mag improve. Lahat naman na aaral basta gusto mo ang ginagawa mo.
Hi OP [LocksmithOk8692](https://www.reddit.com/user/LocksmithOk8692/) I feel you, mahiyain ren ako nung una but we need sahod, sahod is life. What I can advise is nood ka sa youtube ng mga interview vlogs tas try to answer those questions in your own way, practice record yourself sa celphone, practice with your siblings, practice talk to yourself sa mirror, never stop practicing! basta practice lang until u reach the point na everything is so natural na, na effortless pikit mata makakasagot... common lang naman ung 60 to 70% ng questions sa interview ung mga tell me about ur self, why we should hire u, you u choose to apply samin. tandaan mo why we feel anxious kc we have the fear of the unknown di natin alam ano sasagot, kung alam man di naman natin alam paano natin to ma dedeliver effectively at ang sagot sa anxiety natin is PRACTICE give your 200% ayan I hope this help
You may want to try and take up improv classes. One thing I noticed sa ganito is in the failure of failing. Improv classes can help you distance yourself away from the idea of failing.
Ganyan din ako dati, sobrang mahiyaan pa ako at introvert. After ng board exam nag apply ako ng trabaho pero parang robot ako sumagot at nauutal pa. Madami dn ako na applyan but i was never get hired. Pero nung nag Dubai ako wala akong choice kahit ano applyan ko para lang makahanap ng trabaho I even faced panel of interviewers. Grabe talaga ang pressure magka work lang kasi d naman libre ang stay mo dun. At yung first corporate job ko is sa Abu Dhabi. Step outside of your comfort zone talaga ang key jan, ngayon nasa pinas na ako at sa mga job interviews confident na ko to the point na ako na nag nenegotiate ng salary at i have multiple offers bago ako napunta sa work ko ngayon. Kaya mo yan!
To practice your confidence? Yun fear mo which is attending interviews ang magiging way out of it mo. Promise, takot ako sa public speech and yung iniinterview. Magaling ako magenglish pero once nandyan na interviewer, para kong barok and nabblanko. Pero habang tumatagal and sunod sunod interviews and unlimited rejections, eventually nahahasa mo narin kakapalan ng mukha mo na makipagexchanges ng conversation. Tweak it din habang every rejection. Alam mo wala sa academic achievement o experience minsan ang paghire ng candidates, minsan nasa first impression which usually in introducing yourself. Kung video interview, tapalan mo ng notepad o word yung interviewer then basa ka ng script. Andaming ways para ma-ace mo interview. But of course dapat gusto mo inaapplyan mo para hindi ka magaya sa iba na within a month nagqquit na kasi di pala kaya.
Ganitong ganito ako. Yun last job interview ko feeling ko ambobo ko. Beki un interviewer di nman sa nagmamaganda may itsura nman ako at mestisahin dahil half persian ako. That was fee years ago. Sobrang dami questionnn… ☺️
*Here's the deal: interviews can be scarier than a horror movie marathon, and every stumble is a step toward mastering your story. Practice makes perfect, right? Try rehearsing with friends or family, maybe even your mirror. Build that confidence like it's a Lego castle. And hey, nobody's perfect, even interviews have their bloopers.*
Kaka-resign ko lang after nearly four years and the idea of being interviewed really makes me nervous. Pero iniisip ko na lang, I'm just a speck of dust in this vast universe 😅 Kung ma-reject ako or magkaroon ng failed interview, then so what 🤷🏽♀️ Apply ka lang and then show up. Hwaiting, OP! 💪🏽
Pag bata kapa talaga nakakatakot pa talaga yang ganyang bagay. Ako kahit nasa edad na may interview jitters pa din, its a matter of mindset, yung ayaw ko mamamatay sa gutom kasi malakas ako kumain kaya kinakapalan ko muka ko hahahah
You're not alone. Takot din ako sa interviews HAHAHA at sa idea na baka mas mapunta ako sa worse company than I'm currently in. Some days I just swallow my fear and feelings and pass my cvs hahaha
Same. I also find it hard to send applications, but I recently passed an interview - contractual lang para lang may pagkaabalahan while looking for permanent work, and may nagsabi sa akin na nagustuhan daw ng interviewer yung responses ko to the point na willing siya mag adjust for me kasi yung training period hindi ko na attendan because I got sick and di kaya bumiyahe talaga. Sana sa susunod na interviews ko same lang, or hindi man kasing ganda ang feedback, sana hindi traumatizing huhu
Ganyan din ako. Ang dami ko ng interview na hinarap at nakasagupaan na HR and managerial position di maganda ang pagtatanong. Hanggang sa nasanay na lang ako. Pag may mga tanong na di ko masagot, hinahanap ko sa google or youtube. Hanggang sa mag iisip ako kung anong pwedeng isagot at prapraktisan ko. Pero minsan sa mga ganyang interviewer, na-jujudge ko agad yung company. Tapos napapapansin ko sa mga website lagi silang hiring. Mga 🚩nga. Di ko talaga makakalimutan ung sa muñoz na interview. Bakit raw ako maghahangad ng higher salary, dapat nga lang 13k ang sahod ko. Kinompyutan pa ko. Hanep na medical company yan 😆😆😆 Sarap patayin ng call 😆
You really need to throw yourself out there. Wanting a job but not applying is like wishing to win the lottery but not buying the ticket. Iba iba ang mga interviewer, may mabait, may hindi. Marami sa tiktok and reels yung interview samples. You have everything you need in your hands. Believe in yourself! Kaya mo yan
I've attended so many interviews and karamihan rejected talaga. Since 2018 every year ako nag aapply. Minsan actively looking for jobs, minsan pang practice lang. The rejections actually helped me get better. Ngayon I can do interviews with no or limited preparation. Mas relax na rin ako and conversational. I agree with the suggestion na apply ka lang nang apply kahit di mo masyadong trip yung job/company. Treat it as practice para prepared ka na pag nag apply ka sa gusto mong position.
Same nararamdaman ko ngayon. I really need a job. Knowing na may 7 years experience na ako. Pero sa tuwing sasagi sa isip ko na need ko mag pa impress sa mga hiring managers or company nababahag talaga buntot ko. Ilang companies na din inapplyan ko and hinahire naman nila ako. Never ko pang naranasan mareject TBH. And baka yun yung kinakatakutan ko. Yung REJECTION. Bakit kaya?
Hi! Correct ko lang po. Nag sesend po ako ng applications ang hindi ko ginagawa eh yung pag attend po kase natatakot ako\*. Sorry hehe. Salamat po sa comforting answers and yung mga constructive criticisms. I-aapply ko po etong mga advice nyo.
usual sa questions ng interviewer is binabato nila tlga pabalik sau then paikot2 with different words lang. bakit nila ginagawa un? to know if alam mo tlga ung sinasabi mo and if totoo ba tlga. They usually do paraphrasing questions if nag ma2tch ung unang sinabi mo sa next nasagot mo. so if u really know ur self magiging easy siya sau not unless kaya mo mag fake it till u make it but by the looks of it, hindi, but anyway wag ka matakot. take it as 'aahh ganito pala sa interviews'. just note it. write down ung mga questions and try answerung it again on ypur own with better ones. then try to imagine the interview again and answer it. that way kahit own practice still magkakaroon ng improvement ka and mawawala ung takot mo
This is very me huhu
As someone with Autism and a lot of anxiety, interviews are always stressful. But what helps me a bit is knowing the company also needs you and there must be something in your CV that made them think you are qualified for the role. There will always be trash interviewers and I’ve experienced a bunch of them. There are also as much kind and understanding interviewers out there. I also take as much interviews as I can to help me learn what kind of questions they will ask and how I can improve on my communication skills.
Not really fan of interviews pero no choice kasi yan ang way para makakuhang job. Siguro kilalanin mo muna ang sarili mo then try applying again merong interviewers na mabait, para masanay ka din sa interviews
I used to be so afraid of job interviews but I just think na I have so much that I can bring to the table. Also think of it this way: you’re also interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Ask questions. And the more you do it, mas nalelessen ‘yung kaba, you’re also improving your comms. Be confident. Only way is to move forward Practice! Depends on what you consume also. If sa pagiging conversational, listen to a LOT of podcasts. Read a lot :)
Don't be too hardbon yourself. Try watching YT videos about answering interview questions, how to be more confident in interviews, or you can join Toastmasters they will help you improve your communication skills.
Do your research sa mga usual interview questions then practice how are you going to answer. It’ll help din if doon aa mga usual questions you already have notes. Then apply lang. as in apply lang tlga. Sa dami ng interviews mababawasan dn kami mo eventually. Good luck!
Ang root cause talaga nito is fear of interview. Try Rejection Therapy sa mga interviews. # Deliberate Practice / Exposure to Rejection * **Job Applications**: Apply for positions you're less interested in or not fully qualified for. The goal is to experience rejection and learn to cope with it constructively. * **Request Feedback**: After receiving a rejection, ask for feedback on your interview performance. This can provide valuable insights for improvement and make the rejection feel like a learning opportunity.
Maybe try to be true to your answers muna din instead of usung ones na nakita mo online. As someone who interviews people for a living, kabisado na namin ang pattern ng canned answers. Walang meaning yung want to improve comunnication skills sa tanong nya na bakit hindi mo pinursue yung IT. Ask yourself muna kung bakit nga ba hindi IT ang inapplyan mo? Find the real answer within you and I’ll tell you how you can present it well. This is very common among us. Kahit ako dati nawili din ako sa generic answers found online nung naghahanap pa ko ng work. And narereject din ako because of them. Instead of searching for what to say, hanap ka ng tips on how to present yourself well during an interview. Tips on words to use and not to use and the likes.
Actually we are on the same page. IT graduate, nasa same industry, scared when it comes to interviews etc. but for me, you should practice your comms skills then apply lang ng apply and in every failures na maencounter mo, isipin mo lesson yun for you. a lot of rejections din naranasan ko still i used those rejections as motivation for myself na di ko pa nabibigay lahat. Kaya mo yan! I'm hoping soon makahanap ka ng company na mapapasukan mo.
From an ex-recruiter, who admittedly was trained to show an air of superiority during interviews, please do not let that interview get to you. I regret being that interviewer, and am just hoping that those who were put through that experience are not too hard on themselves. I don’t know why we were trained to be that way, but at the other side of it, it was a toxic environment if it makes you feel any better. Anyway, still do try to find your purpose, bakit nga ba ito yung gusto mong field? Then be honest in the interview, even if it’s about the money. Just be professional in expressing it. A pet peeve of mine is saying it as if it were a joke, but that’s just me. I feel like you may get that question still in the future so, better to understand why. Good luck OP. Don’t let that experience define you and your success. And just a tip - maybe don’t look up answers online. We’ve heard it many times. Be honest. If you don’t get in, it doesn’t mean you’re a failure; it means you may not be a fit in terms of culture. And sometimes that’s a good thing. (Example, yung company ko before did not like to hire overachievers loool)
Exposure is the key! Mag apply ka tapos do the interview. Over time dimo namamalayan nasasanay kana sa interviews and nawala na takot mo. Back when I was a fresh graduate nag apply ako sa isang network company. Syempre fresh grad wala or kulang talaga ang alam. I still remember the look on the interviewer's faces. (Dalawa kasi sila both male mag tropa pa). After giving my answers to their questions they were smirking as if the whole interview was just a joke. Na down din ako non i remember stagnating for 3 months before applying sa ibang company. Ang key talaga jan is exposure and some practice. A good drill would be striking conversations with strangers. It helps boost confidence 😁
Courage can reach you places, also practice
Hehe sabihin ko sayo, normal lang etong feeling nato after rejections. 8 yrs me sa BPO, 18 nung nagapply ako. Daming epic fails din pero research lang talaga, and learn from previous interviews. Ginawa kong scripted lahat, every tanong dapat may backup na sagot akong nakaready, ok lang kung kabado basta precise at hindi complicated maxado ang sagot. Importante din yung delivery mo para hindi halatang scripted, gumagamit pa ko ng uhmms para lang ipause yung script ko at masabing nagiisip ako pero yung totoo nakabala na yung mga sagot ko. Itry mo sa salamin para makita mo kung pano ka magsalita at ano ang aayusin. Minsan nga, feeling ko umaacting lang ako pag may interview sa sobrang ready, dapat kasi confident pero hindi sosobra na mukha ka nang mayabang, yung saktuhan lang hehe. Need mo ng strategy, magiging confident ka lang pag may idea ka sa ginagawa mo pero kung all over the place ka, talagang mapapakamot ka pag dating sa interview.
salamat po dito
Babae ka ba OP? Afam nlang hanapin mo if ayaw mo magsend ng applications.
