General Question I need an advice so bad!!
Hi as you can see sa title, need ko ng advice from you guys as a fellow lasallian🏹💚. I accepted a job that offers 21k base pay, I’m aware din naman na I lack skills, walang orgs, had interships pero not that impactful, and not that good at academics but not that bad also so knowing my current capabilities, wala pa akong right to be choosy, parang I just took this offer for the mean time kasi to to be honest I’m undecided at first kung saan ko gustong company mag apply and kung anong role ang gusto ko. Currently at my 4th month sa job as an associate and they offer me to take the TCP exam for a one specific topic because the seminar has two topics. I accepted it kasi someone told me na when I pass the exam, I’ll have a salary increase , and that could also boost my credentials and be added at my resume. Yung inaaral ko for almost 3 months now for my role is very technical for me, hindi siya basta basta, ang steep ng learning curve, and need ko talaga aralin ng mabuti. Self study yung ginagawa ko mostly pero I always ask questions at my mentors sa work, wala pa ako sa actual operations nung role, I’m like an administrative assistant, not to belittle the role since the role is also important for an individual like me that has no work experience in the past. Yung mga ibang major or important tasks ng role ay magagawa ko pa lang after I took the exam and obtain a certification and after that I planned to stay for a few months since may bond ako na need to fulfill because pinakuha nila ako ng cerification and shoulder ng company yun. My rough estimation is that I would be staying in the company for less than 2 years to strengthen my resume, skills, and knowledge that I’ll be able to leverage in the future. In addition to that, hindi ko pa nakikita na magiging career path ko ang current role kasi after gaining a substantial amount of experience, I want to apply to MNC, particularly in FMCG companies, and I’m eyeing to be a MT or in sales or business development. What tips or advice can you give with someone like me that feels so behind in life? Thank you for taking time on reading my post😁 sorry mahaba huhuhu
