Sa unang 5 years dito dadami utang mo pero mababawasan din kapag tumagal. Ang kailangan talaga ay bumili ng house yun ang mas malaki na utang 25 to 35 years to pay. sulit naman basta may kahati ka sa pagbayad sa utang ang mahirap kapag single dito.…

Research sa google kung anong mga companies sa industry mo at apply directly sa mga websites nila. Atsaka call kung may number listed sa job opening. Di ka dapat nagtitipid sa pakikipag usap when applying so they can connect a person to a lifeless C…

Para sa akin ok naman sa SG basta high salary mo pero hindi siya long term kasi dahil very open ang SG, mas higher ang risk mo na maagawan ng trabaho at very competitive siya until to the point na you have no more life outside of work. Pati family l…

I think the Cold call from http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Job is a good summary of what I did. It does not have to be a call. It can be email but the most important thing is the HR of the company needs to return your call or reply to your email else m…
