Working in the Philippines is tough—let’s be real. Entry-level jobs asking for 3–5 years of experience.Fresh grad? OJT experience only?
Yet expected to perform like a senior.

So how is someone supposed to be “fit” for the role when no one is willing to give them a chance? It’s not a lack of talent— it’s a lack of opportunity.

Every expert was once a beginner.
Hiring shouldn’t be only about experience—
it should also be about growth and trust.

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.
