Nasa atin ang pagsisikap kahit san man tayo mapadpad. Magagaling ang pinoy and very resilient. Nabuhay nga kami sa jungle ng Manila e kaya sa tingin ko, kakayanin rin namin magsurvive kahit saan.

Sa ibang field po medyo mahirap ang labanan, yung ibang field kasi kailangan magaral ulit ng kaunti. Yung wife ko medyo nahihirapan makahanap kaya balak namin habang ngwowork ako magaaral na lang muna sya. Meron kasi dito mga requirements like certifications, tafe or myob bago makapasok sa work. Gusto ko nga gumawa ng separate thread para sa issue na to baka kasi may nakaka alam dito na kung anu magandang kunin as a good investment para makapasok ng work.

Ang isa pa yung paghawak ng pera...nung dumating si Suze Orman (financial adviser ni Oprah at Larry King) sa Manila..sabi niya mali raw na binubuhos ng OFW lahat ng kita nila pabalik sa Pinas...di raw matututo ang mga kapamilya ng OFW pag ganun na lang lagi....kaya madalas nangyayari, sobrang pagod ng migrant, pag uwi niya ng Pinas, walang pinagbago ang buhay
Going back to the thread, sir @sohc ano po uli field of work ni misis?

although ako naman ang kinakatakot ko tlga ay yung pagmove ng resources from high cost to low cost countries especially in IT. very rampant din kase ang outsourcing and axing of jobs... and also, di ako sure if employees are protected against pay cuts. dito kase sa pinas bawal un unless may consent ng employee... hirap actually magdecide.. heheh

In my own opinion lang, people will definitely say na mas maganda satin if you cant get the job that you have back in our country because mostly thats whats happening here especially for other field. Yung wife ko gusto na nya try kahit anu na lang pero nagrerequire ng car at license karamihan. Sabi ko nga kahit hindi na magwork pero ayaw e.
Dito madaming recruiter halos lahat ng job posting puro recruiter somehow nakakainis, but I am able to get a direct hire. Patience is a virtue.

- tax free benefits
- can go back to phil anytime I want for 5x a year for free (sobra to)
- straight to permanent position, no more probationary or contract.
Kinakabahan ako sa isang employer expected ako pumirma bukas. Dalawang company na tinu-turn down ko.
Sobrang blessing. Sabi nga nila kapag tumulong ka ng walang kapalit, babalik din sayo yan mas malaki pa.

Your story is inspiring and encouraging. Nadiscourage kase ako last night when I talked to someone I know... although it's not really a bad info, pero sabi nya kase mga 60-70K ang average salary daw. expected ko kase dapat nasa 80-100K AUD annual. heheh syempre kapal ng mukha ko naman.
Pde mo bang idisclose anong technology ang hawak mo? Sorry kung nasabi mo na, di lang ako makabackread. Thanks! :-)
