Bakit Maraming Beginners ang Nahihirapan na Makakuha ng Magandang Career sa Telecom Industry?

Updated: Oct 2, 2022

Know the reasons why and discover the solutions other people have found. Read on.


Most of the time, lalo na ngayong panahon ng pandemic, depressing ang mga nangyayari.


Even though maraming students, fresh graduates, and beginners ang willing matuto at mag aral ngayong taon para tumaas ang kanilang chance to do good sa kanilang career, very few will succeed to get good opportunity inside the telecom industry.



Some people will land a job that they don't even like.

Napilitan na lang dahil "NO CHOICE".

A few others will enjoy an opportunity na matagal na nyang hinihintay.

But nearly everyone else will land on a job that he/she is not even prepared to do.


Siguro nangyari na ito sa iyo. Nagsimula kang maghanap ng internship or work after graduation or while waiting for board exam, but you end up being clueless ano ba talaga ang papasukin mong trabaho lalo na ngayong panahon ng pandemic. Or perhaps matagal ka ng graduate, pero until now wala ka pa ding makuhang work. Maybe matagal ka na sa work mo pero hirap kang makakuha ng increase or salary adjustment na masasabing magiging komportable ka at ang iyong pamilya. It's frustrating. It's humiliating. It's exhausting. You feel powerless.


And sometimes it feels like kahit anong gawin mong sipag sa paghahanap ng isang magandang job opportunity, you end up either being rejected or being offered below your expected benefits.


Listen, if you've ever felt like this, let just reassure you that you are not the only one.

And let me also tell you that it's not your fault if you tried and failed before.


You see, the reason why you can't get the opportunity that you aim for is

  • lack of preparation

  • lack of focus

  • and lack of good mentorship.

I mean think about it:

masipag ka naman,

hindi ka naman nang aabuso ng ibang tao,

marami kang kaibigan,

marami ka ding natutulungan,

madali ka ding turuan at mabilis matuto,

and in fact you are very much willing to learn at ibigay ang almost 101 percent ng iyong capability para lang makuha ang isang premium job opportunity sa loob ng telecom industry.



After all...

If you have solid preparation, laser-sharp focus, at good mentorship, then you'll also get a fantastic journey sa iyong career.


Hayz, may ibang tao, napakapalad...


Pero hindi naman kasi lahat ay nabibigyan ng pagkakataong makapag prepare - kung anong mga dapat nilang pag-aralan bago sumabak sa loob ng telecom industry.


May mga free webinars kang nasalihan, marami kang natutunan, pero after 24 hours - Gone!

At hirap ka ng balikan dahil aminin natin, wala ka sa focus kung sa facebook page mo lang papanoorin or sa youtube channel for you to come back and review.

Hindi mo rin ma test ang iyong knowledge, kasi wala namang mga exams na prepared for you to practice what you've learned.


Hindi lahat nabibigyan ng training para makapag focus sa mga dapat nilang matutunan.

Mahal kasi ang training.

At sad to say, pili lang ang mga taong nabibigyan nito.

Hindi lahat.


At hindi lahat ay nakakatagpo ng isang Mentor na gumagabay at napagtatanungan nila along their journey.


Marami namang mentors sa loob ng industriya, pero iilan lang ang may time at commitment to guide you.

Kaya kapag nakakita ka ng isang mentor na alam mong makakatulong sa iyo, wag mo ng palagpasin ang pagkakataon.


So it's no wonder na maraming tao ang nahihirapan at the early stage of their career sa loob ng telecom industry.

And it's no wonder that other people make it look so easy, while you struggle to get the premium opportunity that you want.



MY STORY


I started my Telecom career in February 2004 sa isang kilalang Telecom operator sa Pilipinas.


But before that, I was a part time instructor sa isang college sa aming lalawigan sa Laguna.


Nagtuturo ako nun para pangtustos sa mga gastusin ko sa board exam review dahil tapos na ang pagpapaaral sa akin ng DOST kaya I need too find ways to support my review at maging isang Engineer.


Napakaliit ng sahod noon lalo na sa isang part-time na instructor katulad ko kaya nagpursigi akong makapasok sa isang telecom operator as Cadet Engineer.


Dahil fresh grad ako at kakapasa lamang ng board, kakarampot lang din ang sahod ko.

But I know that a good future awaits me.


Sa loob ng company, nakita ko na sobrang fast-paced ang technology (GSM pa noon at paparating pa lang ang 3G) pero halos lahat ng mga kasamahan ko ay walang sawang nag-aaral at nag papakadalubhasa.


Kung kaya sa ganung culture, nasanay ako na dapat mag-aral ng mag-aral ng practical applications at malalim na theories.


Pagkalipas ng limang taon, nagpasya akong mangibang bansa upang maghanap ng mas malalaking opportunities sa telecom industry.


WHY DID I RESIGN?


Because of these main reasons:

  • I want to become an Engineer with better financial benefits. Plain and Simple.

  • I want to become a Telecom Engineer with international experience.

  • Gusto kong bumalik sa pagtuturo, at gabayan ang mga new generation of RF Engineers dito sa Pilipinas.


Sa abroad, dun ko nakita na, malaki ang naitutulong ng mataas na technical competency sa career.


Kasabay ko yung ibang mga consultant na matatagal pa kesa sa akin:

  • Sobrang laki ng sahod nila as in mind blowing.

  • Ang dami nilang opportunities na dumadating mula sa ibat ibang bansa at trainings.

  • Magagaling mag design, optimize, at troubleshoot.

  • At talagang hinahangaan sa loob ng Telecom Industry.


And then that time, dumating ang LTE (4G).

Ito ang problema at challenge ko noon:

  • Hindi ko alam saan ako magsisimula sa LTE journey ko.

  • Nag search ako sa internet, pero sobrang hirap ng explanations.

  • I feel alone, wala man lang akong mapagtanungan or makapagkwentuhan about LTE.

  • Ang mahal ng training sa abroad.

  • Walang mag-mentor or nagtuturo talaga sa akin para mapadali at mapabilis ang LTE learning curve ko.

And then I returned sa Pilipinas as a Network Engineer sa isang malaking ICT company.


Doon nagsimula akong ma-expose sa LTE at sobrang dami ng information at experts ang nakasama ko.


Sabi ko, ito na ang pagkakataon ko para matutunan ko ng husto ang technology na ito.


Bumili ako ng libro about LTE at sinumpa ko sa sarili ko na babasahin at aaralin ko lahat ng nandito.



Kaya naisip ko, hindi lang ako nag iisa, maraming Filipino din ang nakakaranas nito, at yung iba talaga hindi na nila natuloy ang journey nila or career sa Telecom industry.


Kaya alam ko ang pinagdadaan ng karamihan ngayon.


2019, before the pandemic, I came up with this idea to reach out sa mga taong gustong tahakin ang landas ng RF Engineering dito sa Pilipinas.


Para sa mga katulad ko na maraming pangarap sa buhay at nais matuto.


Doon binuo ko ang RF Engineer Pilipinas Academy.


Take a look at what my students are saying about the previous programs:



Minsan sumasagi din ba sa isip mo na:


"Ang hirap maghanap ng trabaho lalo na kung walang work experience."

"Ang hirap makipag negotiate ng salary increase kapag limited ang skill set mo."

"Hindi ka mabigyan ng break sa work dahil kulang ang training at experiences mo."

Mahirap kasi yung minsan naiisip mo na limited lang ang alam mo lalo sa isang industriya katulad ng telecom.


You have the drive, motivation, inspiration, kaso parang may kulang...
  • Hindi ka maipadala sa mga trainings kahit gusto mong matuto.

  • Wala kang mentor na nag-guide sayo kung ano ba ang mga dapat mong aralin.


Some time today or tomorrow or next month, in one of the telecom offices in the Philippines, or abroad may isang manager na maghahanap ng bagong tao, bagong empleyado, bagong engineer - either bata or experienced.


Isa ka kaya sa mapipili nya?


Suppose a good opportunity is open kung saan ka nagta-trabaho or pangarap mo mag trabaho - Operator, Vendor, Contractor, Supplier, and Wireless Engineering


Could you fill it?

Could you jump right in and make good?

Or would the boss have to pass you up dahil you lacked training or skills?


Ang nakakakuha ng ganitong opportunity is the one who has trained himself to hold it before it is shown to them.


Don't take chances on getting the big break.


Don't gamble on making good when your opportunity comes.


If you want a big opportunity that carries responsibility and pays good money, get ready for it!

So, What's the Plan?


Napapanahon na para pag aralan mo ang mga basic at fundamentals skills para maging prepared ka sa pagpasok sa Telecom Industry kahit na ikaw ay student or fresh graduate!


Ang skillset na ito ay isa sa major skillset na pinagaaralan ng mga Network Engineers hindi lang sa Pilipinas kundi sa ibang bansa rin.


That is why for people like you who plan for the future and live the moment, the focus is really important, especially in terms of learning!


We want to focus our learning on what will matter most today and in the future.


That is why I created different programs sa Terra Hertz, which focus on Technical and Career Preparations to help people build and strengthen their careers, especially those starting in the telecom industry.
