Fresh Graduate from Province

[NyxWeng]

Hi po, as the title says, I'm a fresh graduate of BS Computer Science and lives in the province of Bicol. For example, I'm looking for possible fresh graduate/entry level jobs in Manila and I had been asked to visit their offices everytime my application gets accepted. I know the reason why they need to see me in person but are there companies that do interviews online? via skype or other softwares? and would it be worth it going to manila just for the interview? I just want to know other people's views, opinions and if possible can share their experiences when finding jobs as a fresh grad.

Sorry if it's bit of a noob question. Survey lang

anong position ba inaaplyan mo?
at baket sa manila k nag aaply eh taga bicol k kung sakaling matanggap k ok lng ba n s manila k mag stay?
if ever n matanggap k man im sure on provision ka meaning may position review k after few months of working pra malamang if mareregular ka o hinde.

kung meron ka sanang kamag anak dito s manila ok na dun k muna mag stay hbang nag hahanap k ng work
kung may pera k naman mag boarding house ka dito sa manila maki bedspace ka pra mas mura

=====
other option mo kung web developer gusto mong pasukan is mag apply ka as offshore developer
ang company from other countries. dollars ang sahod tpos work from home ka lang

Front End Dev. po sir but willing to be trained as web dev since may output nmn ako as back end dev. Yes po, willing to stay in Manila pag natanggap.

bale nagcreate lang po ako ng scenario na if anong mas maganda way pra mkapaghanap ng trabaho within manila, kung within bicol nmn wala nmn problema. Siguro mas maganda na yung within bicol muna or companies within bicol(much better yung may branches within manila/foreign).

Siguro much better na yung magboard nlng. San po kaya sir within manila ang the best place pra magboard? Yung prang strategic place na mas madali at mura ka mkakapunta sa mas maraming companies at makakamura?

QUESTION: Diba po pag mga remote jobs like freelance or yan offshore dev in a company, needed jan ng mga card/credit para mareceive mo ang salary? Interested.

mostly paypal is the mode of payment if you plan to work as freelancer, set up ka na habang mas maaga pa..

i suggest near boni or shaw blvd. since malapit sya s lahat. at madaming mga bedspace dun. tpos palibot nun ortigas to makati jan tambak ang mga it companies n pwede applyan. tpos kung hahanap k ng bedspace dapat ung walking distance lng sa mrt pra mablis ang byahe mo kasi dito sa manila ubos oras mo s trafik.

paypal lng pwede na pra s offshore dev. pro syempre need mo ng debit card pra pag widrawhan mo ng laman ng paypal mo. meron iba pumapayag ng remittance o rekta s bank account mo.

yan sakto web developer ka pala, mabenta s offshore dev yan. kung masipag ka kaya mong mag double job since work from home ka wlang sayang na oras s pag travel

===
aq pala ang diskarte q nung nag graduate aq nag work aq dito s local company for a year lng umexperience lng kc d nmn lht natuturo sa school then after nun puro international companies n pinag workan q. as of now remote dev aq s isang sikat na adult site. maganda ang naman kitaan.

Pinakamagandang dapat mong gawin sir is magpunta ka ng manila kung gusto mo tlga makapili ng magandang company. unang una fresh graduate ka pa lang.. hindi maghahabol ang company sau if ever gusto nila ng empleyado same as your position. kasi marami ding kagagraduate lang na nandito na sa manila... opinyon lang naman hehehe.

Para sa akin ang cost of living sa manila ay mahal. Malalayo ka pa sa inyo. Pero kung my plan ka talaga at decidido ka mag work sa manila go for it. Pero ako nag wowork na lng ako dito sa bahay kasi relax tapos wala pa ako gastos and di hustle lumabas. Sa akin ang naging puhunan ko is magbasa magverify at mag try.

I doubt na merong company sa Manila na willing na mag online interview lang lalo na kung fresh grad ung applicant. Di kasi mawawala ung written/practical exam lalo pag wala ka past employment sa resume mo. Ung mga na eemploy na di na nag eexam (interview lang) kadalasan mga 3+ years exp na + solid portfolio

Mag-focus ka maghanap ng trabaho dyan sa bicol. Mas masarap umuwe ng bahay.
If may kamag-anak ka sa manila or kaibigang mapagkakatiwalaang pwede mong pag-stay, you might as well ask them kung pwede makitira habang naghahanap ng work. Syempre galingan mo during exam/interviews. Wag mong kapalan mukha mo (since nakikitira ka lang) Maganda kung first application mo palang pasok ka na agad

Punyeta kasing gobyerno yan lahat ng development finocus sa metro manila punyeta
