The list was released by student careers website Prosple, with Unilever Philippines taking the top spot.
Once the graduation festivities die down, fresh graduates must face what usually is the very first hurdle in the “real world”: getting their first job.
Sure, we have a dream job or a dream company, but things are quite different once you’ve started applying, especially with the job market being even more competitive than it has ever been.
There’s also the issue of what your prospective companies can offer you beyond your paycheck. Hence, you must also look into opportunities for growth, learning, training, and promotion.
As important is looking into factors like office work environment, culture, inclusivity, and diversity to help you achieve work-life balance.
A guide toward a rewarding career path
All things considered, job hunting can be overwhelming, especially for someone who just graduated from college.
Good thing we have guides such as Prosple’s.
Since the careers and education technology company launched its Top 100 Employers for Fresh Graduates List in 2015 in Australia, it has been a valuable resource for students seeking a rewarding career path.
To arrive at the list, Prosple uses a tried-and-tested methodology that takes into account the popularity and quality of each employer’s graduate program.
In an article on Rappler, Prosple’s head of parnerships Yohanne Esguerra was quoted, saying, “Our approach combines the dual facets of popularity and quality to evaluate each employer’s internship and graduate programs comprehensively.”
Popularity, she said, constitutes 75 percent of the assessment, and reflects the engagement and interest garnered through page views and applications across all Prosple platforms.
The remaining 25%, on the other hand, is dedicated to quality, and is derived from Graduate Satisfaction Reviews conducted within the company which offer valuable insights into the employee experience.
