As the nation celebrates the 25th anniversary of the EDSA / People Power Revolution of 1986, a Jobs Fair is also being held at the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration) building.
They are hoping to fill 25,000 job openings abroad. The Job Fair started this morning at 7:30 am and will end at 3:00 pm. Be sure to drop by.
The Philippine Embassy in Brunei is calling for the nomination of Filipino Worker representatives to the OWWA Board of Trustees and the POEA Governing Board.
This is a chance for Overseas Filipino Workers in Brunei to choose representatives that will be their voice in the two respective boards.
Nominees should be migrant workers with atleast three years work experience and atleast 25 years old.
You can refer to the DFA post for further details: Nomination for POEA and OWWA board representatives
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.

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.
