• Congrats! If there are mini catajells, don't stress yourself too much on looking for a job this early. I believe hubby's pay should be sufficient. Malaki din kasi gastos sa child care and before/after school care, not to mention the stress of trying…

• @Bigfoot Kelan ba ang busy season dyan? Normally for how many months? Sa SG kasi, parang walang slack season.. Halos tuloy tuloy ang busy season buong taon unlike sa Pinas na hinahabol kasi yung April 15 filing. Kelan ba ang tax filing deadline sa A…

• I don't think that's everyday, maybe 2-3 days a week during busy season. It must be a good 6-12 -month gig while getting local experience. Not bad really!

• Oo tuloy tuloy na yan. Dami umaayaw sa audit kaya may work mga galing overseas. Di kasi sanay mga kids dito na magwork overtime until 9pm!

• Just to include to the tips mentioned above. Since ang prinoproblema ng halos lahat ng migrants when looking for a job is local experience, it is advised that all overseas references are taken out from the CV or Cover Letter. In the Cover Letter, di…
