How do UP CFA and DLSU-CSB compare in terms of creative facilities and global networking for an aspiring arts leader?
Hello! I am a Grade 11 student from the Philippines currently deciding on my undergraduate path. I have a strong background in the arts and a passion for leadership roles. While I originally considered Architecture for its perceived stability, I am now focusing on programs that better align with my creative strengths and career goals. I am specifically looking at: UP Diliman: BFA Visual Communication DLSU-College of Saint Benilde: Multimedia Arts or Creative Industries Management I come from a family of UP alumni, so the legacy of the university is important to me. However, I am very interested in the Creative Industries Management program at CSB because it seems to bridge the gap between artistic practice and leadership. My main questions are: How do the facilities and technological assets (studios, software, labs) compare between UP and Benilde for creative students? Which university offers a more robust networking pipeline for students planning to take a Master of Arts or work in the creative industry overseas? I want to ensure my choice provides the right balance of technical training and global opportunities. Thank you so much for your time and insights!

How do I get my first IT freelance job?
Hi everyone, I’m an international student currently studying a Master’s in IT, switching my career from retail to tech. My goal is to eventually work as an IT freelancer, or maybe a part-time freelancer. Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time learning and building real projects. I’ve launched several websites using React.js and Vue.js, and used some AWS cloud services for deployment, including my own developer portfolio site. One of the websites I built was for a friend’s event company, just because I wanted to help and gain experience. Last week, I also launched my first iOS app. Even though I built it with ChatGPT’s help, it gave me my first real experience in submitting an app to the App Store and understanding the process. Besides frontend and backend work, I’m also self-studying CCNA to strengthen my networking fundamentals. I sometimes share my progress on social media, and once a former colleague asked if I could build a website for her new boutique. But after that, there haven’t been any updates yet. So up to now, I still haven’t officially received my first freelance job request. I’d really love some advice from people who have freelanced or are freelancing in IT. How did you get your very first freelance job? And is there anything more I can do to start getting real opportunities? Thanks in advance!
How can I get into an UI UX internship?
Hi, Few months back, I've Posted this "I'm UI UX Design fresher. Struggling to get an internship." and lots of people commented on it thank you, I really appreciate for that and I couldn't able to reply to everyone. As a fresher, I'm still looking for an opportunity to get in to the industry with a mentor to improve my skills. Because I couldn't able to learn during my Master's. And my graduation which was not easy I struggled a lot and it was supposed to get on the year 2023 and I got it on this year Feb 2025. The graduation was mentioning 2023. Now it got created a gap. Actually they holded my certificate for no reason and there were lots of issue for me personally I was not getting right education so I was the one to stand against them to get right education and the whole department made a drama to protect themself to show they are providing education and finally I didn't get proper education, they delayed my degree. I can't go for another education because my family financially is very weak. Everyday I wake up by hearing advice and scolding from my parents. Each day is a worst day for around last two years and Its very hard to step outside my home because the culture according to my place is like the people talks behind me and it hurts when people ask - didn't you find job yet. and they will hurt my family only for one reason I'm jobless. and my problem is i'm not happy sitting at home. everyone will be jocking about me and giving advices they thinking I intentionally sitting at home in my dad's expense. And family is depending on dad's income that too not monthly fixed salary, its a daily wages. I was keep trying for more than two years. I have updated my resume and portfolio and applied for thousands of job related to UI/UX freshers, internship, Junior position. but I don't know why there is I only see "Rejected" I didn't even get a callback and I tried lots of platforms then later I posted on here. Someone commented by suggesting taproot. So I tried working on a volunteer based without any guidance that means stepping into the live project for the first time and now I completed designing the project which is a single donation page for a website. And I handed over the design to the development person it's now developing. This project I can showcase as an experience. According to me, I'm from a village. People in my locality doesn't know about designing field they say don't do anything for free. Every work has a value. But I can't make everyone realize that I'm not getting an internship in UI/UX, Because I don't have any contacts to refer me. For a job or an internship they need an experience. and for experience I need a Job or live project work so to break this loop I should do It for free that without any guidance. Thank you for the support. *Note: question edited by admin to remove personal information and adhere to guidelines
