My IDs at my first job in Dubai.

It's summer in the Philippines but unlike other countries "Spring Break" is just starting to take over. Are you a fresh graduate seeking your first job or do you intend to take a summer job to gain a little work experience?

I have been working for seven years but I can still remember my first job like it happened just yesterday. I am a business graduate so naturally I would intend to get my feet wet at any business firm. However, I was in Dubai when I started to seek out my first job. Unlike in the Philippines, you have a quite number of competition that you have to beat out in order to get your first job.

I was still 20 years old when I graduated, and I was very eager to start work! In Dubai, it's still hard to find a good job especially when you have a large number of expatriates already earning a living in the country or still trying their luck to find a stable job on their visit visa.

Unlike Dubai, Philippines has a large number of opportunities! We just need time, patience and understanding when trying to find a good job. But ever wonder what happens after you get the job? I would like to share a couple of tips on how to keep you grounded and have a well-balance lifestyle.

1) Don't get picky: Prove to your employer that you are willing to work and eager to to learn. We all want that dream job that we can get paid a truckload of cash on our first try but it doesn't work that way. It takes a little time and patience. Prove to your employer your loyalty, and your eagerness to work.

2) Earn and learn: It's nice to get your first pay check but remember! You should also learn the tricks of the trade in your working industry. There will always be competition. The truth is there will always be someone who wants your job. Learn the secrets of your job that will you make an asset instead of liability in the company.

3) Don't expect to earn a large salary on your job: You would be lucky if you get a big pay check! If you did, kudos to you! However, salary increase will take time. Do not expect to get a a salary increase every year since it depends on the your company's budget and future plans. Take your time and invest in your company. Take it slow and let your first job be a great learning experience. Your investment could also lead you to other future opportunities in the company. So take your time and don't forget to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
