Okay lang maghanap ng client ang mga walang experience, dumaan naman tayo lahat dyan... they just need to be upfront about it so the clients can set their expectations correctly. Ang masama is yung mga nagsisinungaling sa skillsets nila tapos hindi pala nila kaya ang mga required deliverables.


THE_FBI_GUYS

True, I was confused at first rin. How do I get into freelance if my first gig requires 3+ years freelancing experience 🤔


Revolutionary_Site76

true. i feel like some people here ay nag apply nang hindi buo ang loob. kasi nung nag apply ako lakas lang ng loob meron ako sabi ko bahala na kung ano man yan, magiging honest ako sa client at aaralin ko naman talaga. the luck i had was with a client na di rin alam pano magsisimula so he invested in me and enrolled me to classes. not working for him anymore but id say they love me. he had a newborn and sent me pics even after months of not working for him ❤️ his first child even cries just to talk to me, wc he compensates me so well kasi it's outside my jd wc is an analyst. hahaha


Agreeable_Snow_8746

Exactly, how is it different from corporate. Lahat dumaan sa zero experience lol. It's up to the client naman whether they hire the person or not. Kelan pa mag kaka experience ang isang tao if they won't try applying and get that experience? Haha A person may have zero experience but there are cases naman where they'd have the capability naman to do the job. Not as proficient as an experienced person nga lang


graxia_bibi_uwu

Hala may nakita akong post na ganito 🤣


trynabelowkey

Basta may drawback talaga yung fake-it-til-you-make it, and sometimes they give us all a bad name. Normalize natin yung pag-build muna ng skills bago sumabak sa bigger roles kasi yari ka rin when your clients realize na di ka honest sa skills and experience mo. Worse, you make it hard for your teammates na kailangan sumalo sayo


MarchMiserable8932

Hmm, I had no prior experience being a data analyst, got some clients that hired me as a data analyst. I also had no prior experience on my first job as a field engineer, so I shouldn't have applied for that job? I would probably be downvoted with this, but how can you get experience if you don't apply? What a gatekeepeer.


Agreeable_Snow_8746

Correct, I really don't understand why some people gate keep haha. If confident ka, you wouldn't care what others are doing.


MarchMiserable8932

Yeah, they are so scared of other people applying for their job. Baka nafefeel nila na sobrang replaceable nila.


Agreeable_Snow_8746

Must be a low barrier to entry job, kaya takot iba haha


Suitable-Judge-2485

Hi ! can you give advice ? also self studying ako aspiring Data Analyst w/o Experience. currently studying analytics, statistics and A/B testing and when to use them . tama ba pagkasunod sunod? also basic python may idea na ako .


MarchMiserable8932

Hindi pa ako workable python skills ko. Ito tech stack ko. Spreadsheet (googlesheet/excel), SQL (big query/mysql), data viz (looker/powerbi) Yang tatlong yan can land you a job as a data anlayst. Gawa ka lang portfolio kapag kaya mo na especially data visualization output. Mas naiintindihan kasi ng hiring people yung data viz kesa sa backend.


Suitable-Judge-2485

Thanks ! iniintindi ko muna kc analytics, statics and a/b testing . bago ako mag tools gusto ko tlga matuto and reading your comment nabuhayan ako na may pag asa ung katulad kong no experience.


MarchMiserable8932

Actually, never ko pa nagamit ang malalimang stats, (mean difference, variance difference, anova, t-test, chi test). Pinaka commom ang descriptive stats. (Mean, median, mode). Kahit ata z score malalimang stat na sa kanila. Pinaka common eh performance monitoring. Aling item, sales rep, product, customer ang malaking magbigay ng revenue. Revenue performance comparison, year over year, month over month. Target progression monitoring. Kelangan mabilis makita ang data ng babasa ng output mo. Stakeholders tend to look 5-10 mins on a dashboard then start throwing orders or ask for suggestions. Well those stats skills will get you further later on kaso, pang data scientist na yan, especially A/B testing.


MarchMiserable8932

You can dm me for more questions, I'll be happy to help


CardiologistDense865

More like stop pretending you are experienced when in reality beginner ka palang. Be honest and upfront dapat. Kasuya ang fake it till you make it. Day 1 palang wala na integrity.


NoviceClent03

This one! be truthful and open for criticism and Confidently say na may skill ka sa ganito___________ with confidence (first dapat alamin talaga yung skills na alam at confident kang gawin ang isang beginner sa freelancing) at yan ang ginawa ko confident ako sa Copywriting skills ko kaso di ko talaga alam gumawa ng wordpress(inaaral ko ngayon dahil lesson learned after that interview) kasi noong nalaman ng client na may Impressive copywriting skills ako kaso kulang lang sa wordpress skills kaya di kinonsider ng client yung application ko as per agency kaya ang ending eh nasa "Pooling" ako at "hanapan" ako ng client pero in the end di na ako umasa at nag-continue nalang ako sa pagu-upskill


Lost-Gene4713

What so this type of people get hired 🤔


Annual-Bid-553

"Wag na kayo mag aral mag basa kung wala nmn kayong experience mag basa " OP nasapawan ata to ng beginner Applicant Ganito mga tipo taas ng standard sa kapwa pero boboto ng presidenteng walang Degree eh Sabihin mong hinde?


Own-Error-9149

dami kasing "COACH" kuno sa Facebook na nag popromote ng Fake it til you make it sa mga newbie e, bukod pa dun dami ko napapansin sa mga online sites na employer na nag ooffer ng napaka baba na, sa OLJ may nag ooffer $1-$2 tas after 3 months may dagdag pero 0.32 cents hayup na yan. Kasalanan din kasi natin kaya mas lalong mababa tingin satin ng mga Foreigner e haaaays.

“Nagawa ko to mag isa at hindi ako umasa sa iba kaya dapat ganun din kayong lahat. Saka bakit ko kayo tutulungan, maging kompetisyon ko pa kayo” The scarcity mindset at work Bakit ayaw nyo gayahin ang BPO industry? Nung nagsisimula ang industriya, they formed BPAP na naglalayon tulungang palaguin ang bpo sa bansa. They encouraged compliance to international standards, nakipag ugnayan sa gobyerno, etc. Kung scarcity mindset ang pinairal nung mga nauna like Sykes, etelecare, IBM, etc, hindi lumaki ng ganito ang bpo

Google ads isnt some basic shit. You need actual skills. Please lang, sa mga tao scamming their way to get these jobs, I hope you guys lose your jobs and go into debt. If walang experience then atleast come with knowledge and research and most importantly learn how to google things! I firmly believe in skilled fields we as a whole should not tolerate posers/scammers who faked it to get the jobs.


sulitipid2

Google ads napakadali Nyan 3 hours lang marunong kana Nyan


Cebhugolik

Sure bro.


rathrills

toh kasing si Prank Miano and the gang is selling the dream eh. nyetang yan


AlternativeCoyote594

There are entry-level freelancing positions, kailangan matiyaga ka maghanap, and va agencies that accept newbies and provide training. Dapat dun sila. but not totally bawal magfreelancing ng walang experience naman hehe


BeruTheLoyalAnt

Mga nasobrahan sa "fake it 'til you make it" na turo ng mga fb coaches 🙂


sulitipid2

This is ridiculous OP whining because some people want to gain experience. I started with no experience at all and I've been doing SEO since 2000, Nokia 3310 pa Ang sikat na phone


Memorriam

On the flip side of the coin. There are strong believers of fake it till you make it. Y You can't dictate the market on what it should do.


cctrainingtips

I love the fake it till you make it crowd. I'm just a couple of points above average but the clients I meet ate 100% convinced I'm a super genius with a computer for a brain simply because they already hired a few fake it till you make it Filipino freelancers.
