UP Grad and still no work

Tips & Advice

hi! I'm just here to rant and to find people with a similar situation as mine. It's been a year since I graduated from UP. I did not graduate with latin honors but it is still a competitive finish (1.800 GWA, almost laude). I had a rich background in wildlife research and museum internship experience.

After graduating, I tried working in a medical-related customer service industry while preparing and taking for the CSC cause I was a self-sustaining person. I finished the 5-month contract just enough to sustain my needs during that time. It's been 4 months since my last job and the job market here in the Philippines is tough, even for a UP grad like me. I've been customizing my resume/CV and interview responses to tailor fit different companies and government agencies. However, it's still not working.

I've been feeling hopeless, but I remain determined. How did you cope up with this type of situation? Anw that's it for my ranting. Thanks for hearing me out.

P.S., if you know any job opportunities similar to my background, kindly hit me up. i badly need it.
