Way back 2006 in the Philippines sobrang big deal ang certifications, may mga na-iinterview kami na mga fresh grad at walang experience pero sobrang daming certifications. Don't get me wrong ok po ang certifications pag tlgang inaral mo ung topic nung certifications pero kasi madali lng din gawan ng paraaan sa dami ng resources at dumps ngayon for any I.T. certifications. And base on my experience sa Pinas mga 2015 onwards and kahit dito sa Canada ngayon they are more into experience kasi nga ang dami naring way para ipasa mo ang certifications kahit hindi mo tlga inaral ung topic. I.T cert is good to have but sa interview at work itself lalabas tlga at mag ma-matter ung experience. Congratulations Sir Mike and God bless sa family. Another good content Spot Pinoys! KUDOS!
Totally Agree! Idagdag ko pa kapag may certification ka mas tumataas ang expectation during interview. In my experience, when I interview someone with certification, I am more strict because you need to prove to me that you deserve that certificate. Madami kasi mahilig sa testking😅
@@anthony143 yeah and kung dati maraming nabbulag sa certifications ngayon iba na kasi ang kalakaran and madaling makita sa interview pa lng kung nag-mmatch ung mga cert. sa kayang i-deliver nung candidate. pero maganda tlga na may mga cert. ka and at the same time kaya mo tlgang mag perform. 👍
I totally agree with you. Smart na ngayon ang mga hiring committee, hindi lang basta general type of questions ang ibabato nila sa iyo. They will ask technical questions based on the job posting that you are applying for with problem solving in a certain situation. Red flag talaga ngayon ang new grads with multiple certifications because of testking and other dumps. Pero lately based on feedbacks ng mga dating kasama ko sa IT, hindi na rin daw accurate at dependable, so its better to work hard on your exams na talaga.
1:02:10 Depending on the company and field of expertise, experience in the Philippines may be recognized. Me and my friends work in software development, and we all got offers before we got here in Canada.
My daughter is IT with masteral in Bentley university and works in Lockheed Martin here in US she does a lot of exams and training always snd now doing Phd in AI or artificial intelligence
For the reference/testimonial letter kapag yung previous employer/company is no longer existing mas maigi na ipa-notirize, that makes it a credible doc that you can use and that is usually accepted. I had the same situation before po.
Yes agree, wala din talagang staying power ang mga working visa, if expired na, at nagtaas ang mga requirements ng Government (currently happening), kahit gusto irenew ng company, if di kayang abutin ang requirement, uuwi na.
Tama kayo.. kasi PR ako dito sa Singapore. Tama sabi ni Mike after 2008 nag restrict na sila sa pag approved ng mga bagong PR. So sa sinasabi ni Mike kahit ano ang qualifications mo unless ikaw ay employer or business owner pwede kang maaproved ng PR.. Yes napakataas ng cost of living here ang rental namin na 3bedroom condo with 1 maidsroom ay less than $5,000 SGD na dati $2.6k lang. So mga tumatagal dito ay usually PRs na dati or business owners. 😅
Guessing Mike is an IT tech support person, not a real application developer, so his job experience is pretty basic here, not the other way around as he describes himself and his 'experience'. It is usual that maraming IT jobs d2 sa Canada perform a panel interview. He is fortunate nakarating sya pre-pandemic. Also the bank lending rates were very low at the time...
IT has a wide scope of specialization. Yes I am into tech support for both mac and windows platform and at the same time into network infrastructure (deployment and configuration) with AV skills on the side. Unfortunately I wasn't into application developer (i never liked programming anyway). Pero nevertheless, as long as you are well compensated and you enjoy with what you do in a less stressful environment and physical work, it's good enough for me. Btw, mortgage renewal in Canada is usually every 5 years, so I am on my 2nd term in which the prime rate at that time is 6.5%
@LeaveThePhilippines08 Tama ka, maraming klaseng IT specialization ngayon na kailangan pag aralan para maging relevant ka sa trabaho. My opinion lang na mas mahirap sa application kasi when mga processing outages occur and could not be restarted normally, Level1/2 support who are mostly application developers are the ones looking at the issue often outside of normal work hours. Reason why experienced app developers are paid more that nasa tech.. again opinion ko lang 😀 Do you work in Canada, Kabayan? Salamat sa reply mo...
@@BeLikeMike-w2osalamat sa reply Mike. Sensya na sa pagka prangka ko dun sa mga sinabi ko. I totally agree kung saan ka happy pumuwesto is the best job experience and lifestyle mo d2 sa Canada. Pati na rin dapat happy wife 😅 para happy life ... good luck sa journey nyo d2 sa Canada 🇨🇦
Btw... retired na po ako, having worked mga 45yrs sa IT, half nun binuo ko d2 sa Canada. I work sa Mainframe area kaya medyo isa ako sa mga dinosaurs who finally called it quits nung pag pasok ng covid.😅
During my time, hindi po naka base sa sweldo. Kahit nga foreign student pwede po mag apply ng PR as long as you pass one of their national exam. Regardless, dahil po walang defined point system, it's a hit and miss opportunity.
@@BeLikeMike-w2o yes medyo madali pa dati. Nung time namin (2007) after six mos naswertihan namin naapprove ang pr namin. Pero ngayon sobrang hirap na nga daw.
Mahusay na interview ❤ Humble si Sir Mike. Thanks Spot Pinoy. Pa-connect Sir Mike for guidance. Pwede rin po kung meron endorsement. Salamat po and God bless.
20:09 tama po dipende sa province. dito po sa Vancouver top notch ang mga gamit namin na software and peripherals lalo na sa government or crown corp.
Yes . Husband ko din naka kuya ng IT manager position maski tourist sya
Good for him, keep it up 👍
It's very hard today to seek IT here in Canada, mostly companies don't have available LMIA

Sa Singapore para maging pr ka ay nakabase din sa sweldo. Mostly un ung P1 ang visa.
