Jobs Abroad and a New Year
Barely two days before the coming year. 2011 has been a difficult year for both Job seekers looking for work abroad and for Overseas Employment Agencies.
There has been a lot of political instabilities in countries like Bahrain, Egypt, and Libya. There has been some policy changes in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Europe’s economy is really down.
But we continue to push forward with our mission to provide jobs to Filipino job seekers.
No crisis is ever permanent so we are hopeful that this 2012 the overseas outlook will be better.
We do hope that you consider us whenever you are seeking opportunities abroad. We have been in the business for 9 years and we’ve not encountered any problem regarding our license to operate.
We encourage you to communicate with us through our various emails our Facebook page, and our website. We also encourage you to drop by our office or inquire with our recruitment officers.
We are always looking for people (skilled workers and professionals) thanks to our clients/employers who have trusted us throughout the years.
Happy New Year to all and we wish you all the best in the coming year.
DFA Addresses Passport Application Delay
The Department of Foreign Affairs is implementing measures to address the current passport applications delay.
DFA will be extending the validity expiring passports up to one year for those with urgent travel needs. The extension will be available to applicants while they are waiting for the release of their new ePassport.
DFA office is also now open on Saturdays. Office hours will be 8am to 8pm on weekdays and 8am to 5pm on Saturdays.
DFA recommends the public to file their application atleast twelve weeks before their intended travel date.
Unemployment in the Philippines
As a recruitment company, one of our mandate is to provide jobs to unemployed Filipinos. In order to fulfill this mandate we chose to seek Job Openings Abroad.
To give you an idea, the total labor force in the Philippines is at 38.9 million. This are skilled people ready to fill different job positions in the country.
Unfortunately, there isn’t enough work to accommodate everybody. The unemployment rate is at 7.3 percent. That is more than 2.8 million plus who are not able to feed themselves and their family due to lack of available job opportunities.
The underemployment rate is at 11.6 percent or more than 6 million workers. Underemployed workers are those who have jobs that does not maximize their full potential and earning capacity.
One of the solution to this problem is to find jobs abroad. It has its difficulties but it also has its advantage. Money earned abroad have more purchasing power when used within the country. There are jobs abroad where you can earn in one month what would take you six months within the country.
Recruitment Agencies are not generally seen well. This is because of the unscrupulous acts of a few who take advantage of the uninformed job seekers.
Here at RRJM, we do our best to remain profitable to satisfy our share holders, our own employees, and our clients (both employers and filipino job seekers). But as we go about our work we are satisfied that we are fulfilling a social responsibility. That is to provide jobs for those who need them.
Note:
All figures are taken from NSO (National Statistic Office) Reports of 2010.

How to Have a Fruitful OFW Career
Being an OFW is hard. You are working in a foreign land away from your family. But sometimes this is the best option you have because there is no good enough opportunities at home.
Unfortunately, not every OFW will stay family well after they retire. Some go home empty handed after working many years abroad.
What could have gone wrong?
I found two articles that could help us avoid this problem. If you are a Filipino who have just started working abroad or you are currently employed abroad, I recommend that you read them. They offer good suggestions:
How to Succeed as an OFW
9 Tips and Guides to Succeed as Overseas Filipino Worker
Some of the things you will learn in these two articles is the importance of saving, on educating your relatives to spend your remittance wisely, and that you should look to invest first rather than spending immediately for luxuries.
