I’m a fresh grad navigating my way to hr field pero ang hirap. Lahat may experience ang hanap and sometimes during onsite interview imimix ka sa mga may exp tas biglang pauuwiin ako.
Been applying since november and ang nagiging disqualifier ko ay no experience or not enough. Tried admin roles and even barista but still no luck.
Na para bang wala kaming karapatan as a fresh grad to enter a field/career. Its just so depressing :(
long post ahead and I need ur opinion.
I am a fresh graduate wanting to start a career in HR. I just want to vent my frustrations, perspective, and feedback about hiring practices nowadays.
Aside from ghosting, today I experienced the most inefficient hiring process ever. Yesterday I got a message saying I was invited to take exam and interview. However, today is my grandpa’s burial and I asked if they can consider a reschedule but I got no reply. Since opportunity is so hard to come by, I ditched the burial and try to take the exam and interview.
The facilitator started the exam and she didn’t give the full details or expectation of the process. Talagang pinakilala niya lang sarili niya (I felt the superiority and heavy aura coming from her and maybe because she doesn’t give off a welcoming vibes or shows that she doesn’t care about applicants) and just read the instruction. First we had numerical reasoning for 20 mins. After that she took the papers and checked them and we waited for 15-20 mins before she gave the personality test. Again we waited for another 20 mins or so. 2 tests took 2 whole hours and we were just waiting for the next test. The last part was essay.
In short hindi tuloy tuloy yung bigay ng papers and we have to wait, tumunganga, and waste a lot of time! It was only 3 test yet it took 8:00 - 11:00!
They didn’t set expectations so all 22 applicants were already losing their patience. Some took a nap, some played a mobile game, and some were taking calls and texting.
All three facilitators left and then one started calling an applicant. It is already 11:30 and they didn’t bother to inform if pwede mag lunch break or tuloy tuloy.
I got called up and paglabas sabi sakin baka next week nalang interview since wala yung manager na mag iinterview sakin. So I was like okay. But based from the attendance 3 kami na nag apply for hr compenben. I waited outside if lalabas rin sila but no.
Then naabutan ko yung isang applicant na nauna sakin lumabas and kinda asked him kung nainterview ba siya and sabi niya wala rin yung mag iinterview daw sakanya naka meeting.
SAME FUCKING SCRIPT! It’s two things. 1st is uncoordinated sila and 2nd they are lying and can’t say na we are rejected already!!!!
Im not mad being rejected but fucking please don’t lead on applicants with false hopes. Another similar thing happened to me when I got called by hr of another company, before ending the call sabi for pooling purposes daw and when I saw the status on indeed gosh nakalagay “not selected by employer”
PUTANGINA AWA NALANG, HIRAP NA MAGHANAP NG TRABAHO NGAYON NAKAKAPUNYETA PA YANG HIRING PRACTICE NAYAN! AND STOP WASTING TIME TAPOS PAG SAINYO GINAGAWA GALIT KAYO!
People centered dapat ang hr pero puta halos ng mga nakaupo walang empathy at walang pakiramdam. Nakakabitter.
