Greener Pastures
Oct 9th 2008greenbucksFor Information & Philippines & Thoughts
Almost anywhere in the world, there are Filipino Overseas Workers or OFW. They are easily hired because they are not just one of the better workers and English speakers, they are also well-educated.
Filipinos can be found working in the hospitality business, engineering firms, healthcare systems, educational institutions, domestic and household work, and even online businesses. Wherever they work, expect the Filipino worker to excel.
I for one, have been able to experience applying for a teaching position overseas. Last year, my hopes got up when I was informed of an opening for my qualifications. I got excited that I immediately went online to look for places where I (and my family eventually) might be able to stay. Would it be near a lake perhaps? Or near the woods? What about the Outer Banks? These were just some of the so many possibilities to choose from. I can dream, can I?
Sadly, I haven’t been called yet because of the ongoing economic difficulties being experienced in this county of my choice.
I haven’t lost hope. Yet.
I hope I can still be able to experience greener pastures while I still can.
