Sa local companies need nila college graduate para matanggap on certain positiona nd even get a promotion. Well may mga outliers pa din at hindi sila madami dahil hindi yun ang norm sa atin.

- Entry-Level Jobs: For many entry-level positions, especially those that do not require specialized skills or advanced degrees, employers may place more emphasis on factors like relevant work experience, internships, and soft skills (communication, teamwork, problem-solving) rather than the specific school or degree.
- Specialized Professions: In certain professions such as medicine, law, engineering, and academia, having the appropriate degree from a reputable institution is often a non-negotiable requirement due to the specialized knowledge and skills needed for these roles. Licensing and certification requirements may also be tied to specific educational backgrounds.
- Reputation of the School: Some employers may consider the reputation and ranking of the school you attended when evaluating your application. Attending a prestigious institution can be seen as an indicator of a strong educational foundation.
- Advanced Degrees: If you're applying for a job that typically requires an advanced degree (e.g., a master's or Ph.D.), having the relevant degree can be crucial. However, even in these cases, other factors like work experience and accomplishments may also play a significant role.
- Experience and Skills: Work experience, internships, co-op programs, and skills relevant to the job are becoming increasingly important in many industries. Employers often value practical, hands-on experience that demonstrates your ability to perform the job's tasks effectively.
- Networking and References: Personal connections and professional networks can also be influential in job applications. Having strong references from individuals who can vouch for your skills and character can sometimes outweigh educational qualifications.
- Continuous Learning: In a rapidly changing job market, the ability to adapt, learn new skills, and stay up-to-date with industry trends can be just as important as formal education. Demonstrating a commitment to lifelong learning can enhance your employability.
- Industry and Location: The importance of education can vary by industry and location. Some industries may have stricter educational requirements, while others may prioritize practical experience.
