1st job, how to beat those with experience

Bea19: any advice on how fresh grads can even be considered since halos lahat ng companies ay may requirement na at least 1 yr experience.

i agree its not easy. the reality of the situation is working against you. BUT you need to make a go at it. these are suggestions on how to go around it or how to fight it.

areas to work on :

  • make sure your resume handles this issue in some way
  • IT IS A GOOD THING if you get an interview and you know that they are looking for someone with experience.
  • the fact that you are being entertained for an interview despite of your experience handicap means there is something in your resume attracted them. figure out what that is and exploit it to the hilt during the interview.
  • better yet at some point in the interview, ask the question --- why are you interviewing me when you're looking for someone with experience? then build on that after they give you an answer.
