If you ask Jeffrey Barron his #1 tip for young jobseekers <\/strong>in the market, the Senior Software Engineer at AEON prefers to keep it focused on the realistic. \u201cThe longer I work, the more practical my approach has become. In my 6 years in the field, the one thing I\u2019ve always focused on improving is my skills. The better my skills get, the better my chances at landing a great role,\u201d he said. Indeed, the Asia Pacific College graduate has always seen software as his forte. He developed his first original software in college, eventually moving on to deepen his expertise in Java and Spring web applications.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a firm believer that when [a candidate] reaches a certain level of skill, the job search should come naturally. Plus if you use the right platforms<\/a><\/strong>, you should have no problem.\u201d This mindset has proved effective for Jeff. With one fruitful stint after another in reputable companies\u2014from HP to Infor\u2014he\u2019s been able to upgrade to Senior status in just 5 years. It\u2019s clear then that his strategies for skill development have paid off. But what of the platforms?\"\"\u00a0\u201cOh, I\u2019ve tried them all! I always try to use my personal connections first, but when that doesn\u2019t work, I go online,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cJob portals are a great way to evaluate what\u2019s out there. Aside from the role itself, you want to apply to a company that has the technology you want to learn. Plus they have to be in an emerging field! There\u2019s no point learning technology where this isn\u2019t much demand.\u201d When one speaks to Jeff, one gets the impression of a sharp, strategic jobseeker\u2014and accurately so. Yet it\u2019s not always easy for the talented professional. \u201cI had a tiring time looking for a job last year. From early March to end October, things just weren\u2019t lining up. That\u2019s why ang laki talaga ng utang na loob ko kay <\/i>[I have such a debt of gratitude to] Bianca. She was really invested in helping me land the great job I have now.\u201d And according to him, it seems that this made all the difference. Question is: who exactly was Bianca?<\/div>\n

Recruiters and the Kalibrr Pro Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you interview Bianca Chua about Jeff’s case from last year, the tenured Kalibrr Pro<\/a><\/strong> recruiter recalls coming close to tears\u2014but not for the reasons you\u2019d expect. \u201cRecruiting\u2019s very challenging work. Not just because it\u2019s hard to find exact matches between jobs and candidates, but really because you get so invested in their situations. So when Jeffrey ran into some challenges, I felt his frustration, too,\u201d\u00a0 Bianca shared. Indeed, it\u2019s this deep sense of empathy that drives much of Bianca\u2019s work. \u201cWhat really makes this job fulfilling is the genuine connections we make\u2014with candidates and clients alike.\u201d \u201cWe know how frustrating it can be when a candidate is a no-show, or even when a company doesn\u2019t get back to you,\u201d she adds.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cWhich is why we make sure we never \u2018ghost\u2019 our connections. We always give them the information they need\u2026 sometimes even when it\u2019s hard to hear.\u201d \"\" Aser Luna, a fellow recruiter, agrees wholeheartedly. \u201cThat\u2019s why we always emphasize a great candidate experience,\u201d he shared. \u201cThough we are equally invested in the success of our clients, we understand that a great match wouldn\u2019t take place if you don\u2019t take care of both sides of the equation.\u201d And when you ask Jeff, this is what truly elevated his experience compared to other recruitment portals or services.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI could feel the genuine concern that Bianca had for me,\u201d he started. \u201cAnd this really helped, because it kept me going even when the job search wasn\u2019t turning out the way I wanted to. Thankfully, it eventually did.\u201d Now, the engineer is enjoying his newfound place among AEON\u2019s growing company. \u201cI really value being able to work with people who represent my idea of success in the near future,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd now that I\u2019ve experienced Kalibrr Pro\u2019s amazing service<\/strong><\/a>, I\u2019m never going back.\u201d<\/div>\n
