Background: Students who graduated with
high honors had undergone many challenges in all
aspects of their life before landing a fulfilling career both
in a local and overseas setting. Method: A qualitative
research design specifically phenomenology was utilized
in this study to obtain an in-depth understanding of high
honor graduates' lived experiences in overseas
employment. Data were gathered through the twentyseven semi-structured interview guide and were
analyzed using an inductive approach to theme
development. Findings: Findings have shown that
graduating with honors indirectly affects job
performance but it helps them possess a cultivated
mindset through having instilled optimism, propelled
perseverance, and challenged self-confidence; sustained
development by actively involving in job skills
development, pursued graduate education, and
reinforcing work-related reliability; processed success by
attaining a feeling of gratified hard work, developed
work values, pursued opportunities abroad, and
achieved set goals. Conclusion: Graduating with high

values that directly or indirectly develops one's
motivation to search for a fulfilling job and maintain the

Recommendations: Thus, it is recommended that

as goal setting, develop grit in attaining such goal, and
also process oneself to be a self-righteous person so that
their hard work could pay off in pursuing a successful
career whether local or overseas
