It's everywhere po! I've worked with Singaporeans, Aussies and Americans. Sa totoo lang, I've experienced more "discrimination" in Sg than the other two countries. But then again, I've worked in Sg longer din naman. So, maybe I haven't experience…

Hehe . I guess, you will have to go with the Manila office, mayt. Hehe. The PDOS is 1 full day din po. So, very likely the next day mo pa makukuha ang OEC. I will be worth it in the end naman po. Di ka na mahihirapan sa immigration. Also, I doubt …

@Olive_Oyl: Hello! Ako naman, I informed my CO. Mainly because she told me to inform her kung tapos na medicals ko. Pero sinigurado ko muna na uploaded na ng Nationwide Health. In fact, kinulit ko pa ilang beses ang Nationwide Health na submit na ni…

Nah, seek.com is not very reflective of actual figures. Too many variables kasi, like years of experience, level of expertise, local experience, etc. In essence, whatever job meron tayo ngayon will all count towards local experience and puhunan nati…

I felt anxious, scared, excited, scared (inulit pa talaga, I really was) - all at the same time, before I came. But life down undah is proving to be good. You will be fine promise. More than fine pa, if I were betting. Goodluck po.

@merc2013: hello po. Ang masasabi ko lang, it's double the effort in trying to understand what they are asking over the phone. I had to strain my ears, sa totoo lang! Unang-una, heavily accented sila. Pangalawa, mahirap as it is, makipag-usap ove…

Para po sa akin, go for it. For 2 main reasons: 1. You may have a job offer right now. But that may not be the case down the line. In fact, policies are getting stricter, and I've only been here well over a month. I think I've read somewhere they'r…
