It’s normal for every fresh graduate to be ambitious. With their lives ahead of them, they want to succeed in every field they’ll practice. In the Philippines, most fresh graduates feel more pressured to get a higher paying job because they have to support their families – from their parents to their siblings. But the competition is high and there are not enough jobs for every young graduate in the country. Experts would often advise these fresh graduates to not only excel in their academics but they must also develop life skills that can contribute in improving their skills inside and outside of work.
