naa bro, usa nako..remember pag-boom sa telecoms (GSM before until now 3G and 4G)..kasagaran abroad sa ECE naa sa telecoms..

yep.. gamit pud ang gikan sa telecoms. ang pait lang.. pila raman makasud ug telecom industries?
Usa pa.. daghan technologies, products sa telecom industry. dapat updated ka kay sa uban countries.. dili ra GSM ang gigamit. Mao na makasulti ko dagan ECE naa ron sa IT industry.

Sa electronics side, usahay mas gamit pa ang makat-unan nimo sa trade schools (electrician/electronic technician courses) kaysa sa engineering.

Kung ganahan ka na e-treat ka as electronics engineer jud, dapat kamao ka mu design. Di gani, kataw-an lang ka sa mga technician na mas kamao pa mu repair ug electronic equipments.

Sir ask lng ko unsaun pag apply ug telecom? cge man gyud kog pang apply sa mga online d man jud ma pasin akong application.. paeta.. unsa imu ka advise sir? sa karon ga trabaho lng kog electronics nga mfg.

experience ug abilidad ra gyud akong masulti bro, unless mo specifiy sila nga fresh grads are welcome... kailangan mo atik gyud ka ug maayo inig interview nimo....

ayaw sad undangi ug pangapply on-line....

grabe ka strict sa application oi.... pati medical gani grabe pud ka strict.... pati driving skills apil na pud na (kailangan kahibalo ka mo drift, hehe, joke)...

[sherwinzae]

sa tinud-anay, wa jud dungog ang ECE abroad unless naa ka experience sa electronics design.

kasagaran nako kaila na ECE, naa ron sa IT field.

maypa mag electrical, mechanical or civil labi na kung plano mo mu abroad.

so dili diay ka ece bro?

bro, when it comes to telecoms (let say one particular project) its either new project or expansion lang..kung new project na, expect it would be a very big one (imagine mag-rollout nationwide, example Smart, Globe or even Sun Cellular) these telcos have personnel (preferably ECEs) nga work kung naa rollout and syempre naa permanent people para sa Network Design, Planning, Operations and Maintenance etc..and bro remember na..in every area naa na mga engineers on-call 24/7 kung naa trouble modagan dayon cla sa mga sites kung asa man gani..diri pa lang ni sa pilipinas bro, imagine worldwide man ang demand,though daghan mansad ta kumpetensya sa field ana pero kabalo manta mas ganahan man cla sa ato mga pinoy kay tungod sa ato quality sa work..

and of course kung electronics engineer ka, kabalo gyud ka modesign..kay mao bitaw gitawag nga "engineer" kay primarily it involves "design" gyud.. mao na kalahian sa engineer ug technician bro..

licensed ece since '98... converted to electronics engineer last year. decoration nalang na license kay walay gamit.

sa uban countries,... dili required na electronics engr ka kung mutrabaho ka ug telecom industries kay ang trabaho ug technologies involved ma-handle rapud sa mga IT professionals. broad pud kaayo ang IT.. mu-involve pud na ug network design apil wireless technologies. kung muapply ka abroad... ang first jud e-require nimo kay ang work experience. di kaayo na mu-tan-aw kung engr ba ka or dili kay para sa uban countries, dili ka same level sa ilang mga engineers. usually technician level ra ka.

ug cgurado ko daghan graduate sa electronics na di gihapon kamao mu design. basic ra kaayo na etudlo sa iskwelahan unya kung di jud ka mu-handle ug projects after school, makalimtan ra na nimo. mao swerte to ang mga ece graduates na makatrabaho as electronics design engineers. ang uban.. mahimo intawn product sales engineer.

para nako.. mas nindot jud electrical, mechanical ug civil kaysa ece.

My ECE career path :

after grad - work as a teacher for a Vocational School then :

- applied as a computer technician - taga unbox ng pc at kabit ng LAN cable
-applied as a computer technician saudi - got most of my experience ( LAN design, AS400, WinTEL support)
-move to Singapore after 5 years and work as a Network Team Lead for a MNC
-got my certifications for Cisco, Avaya, Wintel
-come back after 3 years and work for a MNC back with Singapore Salary ( Pirated)
-have turn down several good offers from local BPO- being pireted ( 70k to 90k++ per month salary)


moral of my story: work in a field that is related to your course. Sayang lng kung magiging bagger kayo sa Sm or call center agent. I started with a very low salary pero it was a great investment on my career path.



advice for the new grad:

ECE licensure is ok but much better to take certifications for Cisco and Wintel , Avaya

Get out of this country to get more exposure. Tehn comeback

BTW i never took the board exam

[choc]

2 months after board exam, anhe2x dayun ko tate nga wla pay work experience...toink grabe man d i effect sa recession sa electronics industry dri..wla juy hiring miskig sa manufacturing ky toa na sa china og india ang kasagari electronics companies..
wla nagamit ako license mao karon nagplan kog skoling og applied math para puhon kasud kog work sa research and development..kaapan lang kay naclosan ko for fall 2010..patience is a virtue na lang sah jud ako motto sa karon..
pero i will try jud to look for work nga related sa ECE puhon.
