Last September 19, Kalibrr\u2019s Co-CEO and Co-Founder, Paul Rivera, shared his insights on the current state of Philippines\u2019 workforce in his interview with One PH\u2019s \u201cMagbadyet Tayo\u201d hosts Chinkee Tan and Christine Bersola-Babao.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the unemployment rate went up again from 4.5% to 4.8% in July 2023. While this is relatively lower than last year, the amount of low-quality and low-paying jobs in the country makes it difficult for Filipinos to look for one that can provide them enough food for their families. This is why many of us choose to work abroad because, as Rivera said, that is where their hard work will be valued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Along with this, according to a labor official, the Philippines has \u201coversupply of graduates and undersupply of skills\u201d as reported by <\/span>INQUIRER.net<\/span><\/a>. The skills of the applicants do not always match that of the employer\u2019s needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With this, Paul gave tips on how to look for the best job just in time for the holiday season with or without experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Develop your soft skills. If you don\u2019t have hard skills or education to impress the employers with, use your soft skills instead.

\nCreate your resume from the heart. Do not put your picture or biodata and instead, put your quantifiable achievements from your previous work experience. This is so they won\u2019t discriminate against you and will only be looking at your skills. No experience? Then, highlight your attitudes\u2014your desire to learn, to work hard, and to contribute to the company.
\nPractice for the interview. Do your research on the company you are applying for, so you know what to answer.
\nNever ask what you will earn, only what you will learn. While we all work to earn, you also need to show that you are eager to learn from them.<\/p>\n
