Undergraduate Jobs You Might Qualify For


Many people nowadays prefer not to finish school because of high tuition fees.Many undergrads may
wonder what is ahead of them without a job?

 It is a sad fact that not all people could carry on after High School. The expected reason would be daily expenses could not suffice to sustain tuition fees.

We undergrads must not mope because of our learning halted.School isn't the only way that could save us,there is hard work and humble beginnings.

We can still have a way in life. having a job molds our personality and perspectives in life.It can develop us into matured people and teach us how to act reasonably.

For those of you who are still uninformed,I will make a list of the jobs undergrads here in the Philippines or any part of the world that you could partake without Graduate credentials.

List of full-time undergrad JOBS you could partake (Assuming you've stopped going to school)

  • Food Service Crew
Many people find food service a fun job to do while some don't.You might not like this job because of fear to grumpy and impatient customers,luckily this job doesn't really require a college graduate standards.

As long as you know how to serve food properly and handle customer queries well, You might find yourselves fit for the job.

Knowing how to serve and handle customers properly isn't the only factor if you're planning on going into this kind of job.

You must also be a person who regard cleanliness at all times, remember that it is food you're serving, you don't want a dirty looking  crew member handling your food right?

The only cons i find about this job are the grumpy and impatient customers. but you can easily overcome this situation by serving with enthusiasm and a big smile.

  • Call Center Agent
Being a call agent is personally one of the first job i got my pay from.Personally i can tell you that this job is most preferred by undergrads like me.Without a graduate status, you can earn quite well.You can even have a salary of those who graduated.

People might think that being an agent is as easy as peeling a banana,it's not like every job out there.You will need skills.

the particular skills you need are the following:


1.)Written and Oral skills
2.)Basic Computer Operations
3.)Perseverance and Pursuasiveness

These 3 skills are the most essential things you need in entering this industry.Personally I'm a shy person and interacting with people isn't really my forte,but if you are working as a Call Center Agent you can be anything,NOT literally speaking.


I will tell you as early as now , being an agent is not as easy as everyone makes it seem. you need to consider the sleepless nights and  quotas or goals you are asked to reach.

With this Being my first job I was so nervous but as the days go by you'll also get the hang of things like I did.

  • Sales Representative
If selling to people and getting them to buy your product is your talent,there are some companies who would hire young people to help them promote and sell their products,That is the time when we undergrads act.

I personally got hired by a company who sells steel doors and sliding windows. The job was somehow hard yet easy at the same time.

At that time I was given a list of clients,those clients belonged to the employee who  had to leave because of family reasons.

I was not new to the selling part because for the main reason that i worked as an outbound call center agent,but there was a big difference I need to face my customer, not just call them.

Its all new at first but you will get used to it.

In this job you have to create a good customer relationship.You have to call them and notify them and ask the clients if they still need something.

But before the constant notifying and asking for their needs you need to have the right timing.I forgot to tell never accept the first no for an answer if you're an aspiring salesman.

  • Virtual Assistant
This job really doesn't require a graduate degree,but you need to have a great skill set specially if you are dealing with a foreign client. 

You must always be precise and on point with your work. This requires a lot of patience and dedication.

Being a Virtual Assistant you have to acquire good writing and oral skills.

You must be punctual because you don't want a dissatisfied Client. It could bring your Rep down. In this field ,to make it short , you need to have skills like a call center agent.

  • Blogging
You might wonder why blogging is on the list. If you're unaware, blogging has earned some people thousands of dollars by posting high quality and unique content.
