How Overseas Filipino Workers can Win the Battle Against Unbearable Debt

Some of the reasons of Filipinos for working abroad are to be able to send the children to school, to have their own house, or to fulfill their dreams of getting wealthier.

But as often the case we find that “expense normally rises to meet our level of income”. The higher our income, the more we spend. And so there are people who find themselves exactly the way they are while they were working in the Philippines. They still find themselves short of cash.

What seems to be the problem? How can we solve this?

I found this article in the inquirer that we can use as our guide to solve this problem. You just have to practice a lot of discipline.

refer to How OFWs can Solve Debt

Let me also add another suggestion. Whenever you spend, try to minimize pure expenses and put your money where it can grow. An example is setup a store , invest in apartments if you can afford it, or put up a small business (like t-shirts, selling tocino’s or longganisa).

Job Application Tips Part 1

Recently, Reader’s Digest published an article about “Getting Hired Not Fired”. In the article they interviewed several HR managers regarding their experiences with job applicants.

Let me add my personal comment on the things that stood out to me.

“When it comes to getting a job, persistence does not pay off. Checking in once or twice is fine. But if you call and call and call, you’re not going to get the job, because you’re annoying.” –HR manager at a medical-equipment sales firm.

“Never call a company after an interview, HR manager’s hate that. If you must have your recruiter do it for you”. – Recruitment Specialist.

I had a recent experience regarding this when we were searching for someone to do a project. One of the candidates was really persistent. I contacted him for his portfolio and gave him simple questions to give me an idea about his personality. The next day, he emailed his portfolio and some questions to my questions. The next few days, he sent me several emails. He then called the office to arrange (more like demand) for a personal interview.

His portfolio was actually good but I decided to drop him from the list all together.

Why?..

Personally, I was looking for someone who seemed independent and could work with least supervision.

But he gave me the impression that he needed to be baby sitted and he would also require a lot of attention.
