Job Hunting - How you manage on it?

Yes seems similar experience. After i finished my course i am also hired in the company that i took my OJT but after 5.5 years of works, i got bored and decided to resigned. Don't have any experience of applying a job to any company. Now, i tried to apply for a job and found it that it's too hard. LOL. Hope I can find a good job before the end of this year. If not, time to continue living and managing my own business here in the Philippines.

I also tried applying for a call center job and i was failed for the final interview due to my accent. The interviewer told me that i need to improved it. I passed all technical exams but sad to say that field is not for me. LOL. I want a job abroad anyway, not here but because i am bored so i tried but now so many call me for call center interview and i refused to go their office anymore. I am afraid to be told again i need to improve my accent. LOL

I already tried applying for BPO but i am failed in the final interview because of my Filipino accent. I am fluent but the accent is the problem. Why i am here in Makati City because I tried applying for work abroad although I have a small business in Davao, if until December still can't find I will back to my place and continue by entrepreneur career and also i want to finish my course BS Entrepreneurship, 1 year to go i am already a graduate of this course. I know a lot of storied being heard and told me about the life of OFW but i want to try. If the time not permits me so i will still go abroad but being a tourist I think. I work hard on my business, maybe this dream will turn to reality.

If you're looking for jobs abroad, maybe you can search online workabroad dot ph or jobstreet. Try post resume there. Also, you can try going to Malate or Ermita place, there are many agencies there. They are just beside each other, so you can compare between job orders they have.

But some agencies and some jobs have high placement fee. I don't see an agency yet that follows the POEA rule that your placement fee should not be more than your one month salary, and mind you these agencies are legal agencies. It's even 5 times the monthly salary in that country, now that sucks because when you have been deployed, the monthly salary written in your contract is not even the actual salary you're receiving, the actual is way lower.

There are many issues when you get there esp if you're deployed in countries with other culture and different language than English.

I am not trying to discourage you but I have experienced this, and since it's like accepted in that country, it's common place. Like if you complain, you are not being understood and even looked at as someone causing problems.

I guess that you just need ready yourself for those things you might not be expecting, or never thought you would like to contain or to be patient about, because oftentimes it feels it is a better choice.

I already did applying some jobs online such as jobstreet and workabroad. Some of agencies already had my prelimenary interview and waiting for employer coming here in Manila. I a bored while waiting for the employer but don't any choice except to wait. LOL. I am line up with different employer interview by this month and hoping for a chance to passed. Hope I can make it. You are very frank in terms of discussing the reality how lif goes on while working abroad. I know you have a lot of experiences and I a very thankful mate. Anyway, if I am not lucky enough, I have another options and that I mention earlier. Living outside our country sucks specially middle east but we wonder why so many OFW there, it's because they are also trying to improved their way of living and the simpliest way is to enter midle east, although low salary but it's easy to apply those country than any open country such as USA, UK and Australia.

I already did mate bt still no response from any employer who are also a member of monster maybe I am lack of experience to the applicants they are needed. I don't know if want of these days I can receive a reply from any of them. I hope they will try my capacity being a worker. I will assure them that I am not a liabilities to their company instead n asset.

Yes i am inactive here because of that reason but if i am not lucky enough to get a good employer abroad i will back Davao to continue my studies and business. Another thing to marry my gf next year. I hope no hindrances comes and we get married. I am praying for this mate and hopefully I invite you and Dhang. LOL

yes business flow is unpredictable but all the success of your business matters on you, it's like a pilot and a captain they manage their trip.

Absolutely my friend...
