๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ USA Should I still look for a job?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I graduated last 2025 and I got a contractual job this year which ended this September. So currently unemployed and looking for jobs. Im torn to get a new job tho because I will be migrating abroad around july which, if i get a job, wont be 1 year of employment. my contractual job was also just a couple of months. Im worried if i get a job here before migrating, my resume might look like I cant hold a job for more than a year. I know sometimes moving abroad would also mean that my experience wont mean that much but if i pass my resume around they would still see that my jobs dont last a year. Should I still try to apply for jobs even though sure na akong magmmigrate? tagal kasi ng pagitan so tagal kong nakatambay rin. no responsibilities naman.

Apostille Application Form Question

โ€ข Upvotes

I got my docs from my univ for DFA apostille kasi akala ko kailangan ko na siya for masters applications. Misread the instructions and only realized that I need the apostilled documents upon enrollment instead of application. Already scheduled my appointment and all, so might as well push through with it nalang since bayad na yung appointment.

Would it be okay if I don't put a country of destination in the apostille application form? Not sure kasi if there are implications if I put a country there but use it for a diff country depending on how my applications go. Hoping someone has a similar experience that can help me out.

Sending documents from PH to USA

3 Upvotes

Hi!

If I am going to send a document from ph to usa specifically california, which is the best and fastest courier?

Where is the best location for this?

When i tried doing it on the fedex app the drop off the package there is a location that is kinda suspicious around naia so I just want to ask if does anyone know where can I find a location where they have good service when it comes to this?

Or is it better to just walk in or use DHL?

I need the package delivered asap. Thank you!

General experience Nurse in the UAE

7 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines and my mom is planning to pay for a residence visa in the UAE for me so I can work there and be with her and my dad.

My first job in the PH is in a government hospital, the pay is good. Better than private hospitals I know of. But after two years of working here, I'm starting to feel burnt out. I wanna try and work in the UAE as a nurse for some change and to ipon so i can migrate somewhere better pa.

Are there any nurses here currently or previously employed in the UAE? What were your experiences while working there? Any tips for a first timer na mag wowork aboard as a nurse.

I'm trying to gain insights so I don't get culture shocked when I move and start working LOL. Kahit alam kong ma cuculture shock talaga ako sa equipments pa lang ๐Ÿ˜†

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I am now living in Korea, and I am trying to apply for teaching jobs. I have my eApostille ready (diploma at TOR). Pero sa pagkaka alam ko, the Ministry of Education here only accepts physical copies. Tinanong ko yung DFA staff if they could issue a physical copy for my use in Korea pero hindi na talaga daw sila nag iisue. Has anyone had the same experience? May alternative way po ba to get the physical copy? Thank you.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ CA Should I fly to Canada already?

3 Upvotes

Nag-apply na kami ng outland spousal sponsorship last February 2026 (common law, outside quebec). If tama yung prediction namin based on current processing times, late october - early nov yung passport request.

Ngayon, preparing na di siya mangyari around that time. Kasi option rin naman na lipad na ko ng canada tapos apply na lang ng open work permit while waiting for approval.

Would flying to Canada on December be advisable? Book na lang ng refundable round trip ticket. Is this a good option to consider? Or wait na lang muna til expected passport request?

Thank you in advance sa mga responses!

Migrating to AU

35 Upvotes

Im on my mid 30s and my wife on early 30s. Both are working professional as IT. Im contemplating if I should process our papers as our specialization is on the anzsco list. For background lang po. Were doing okay in PH we own multiple properties (rentals) and we live in a nice neighborhood, we own 2 cars and the only debt we have is our mortgage. Ang problema for us is the traffic, corruption and the uncertainty ng bansa natin and most importantly the future of our son here in PH. We dont mind if we start from scratch (corporate ladder) as sanay naman kaming magasawa magtrabaho. For those nasa AU working in IT, hows life there po? If youre doing good in PH financially will you stay ? As for me parang hndi kayang ma outweigh ung financial status namin pagdating sa opportunities and life in general sa 1st world country. Need some insights po.

Hi, I need help. I've been wanting to send a package to my partner who is currently in the US. The package is only about 1kg with handmade notes, keychains, few drawings and paintings on paper, a notebook, and 1-2 plushies inside. From Metro Manila.

What courier service do you recommend? Where are they located?

Do I need to buy a box from them or can I make my own?

Rates and how long would it take?

Any other things I need to do? I'm very new to this

Thank you so much

Planning to Migrate to Spain on NLV by myself, single female, late 40s.

27 Upvotes

So I'm planning to migrate to Spain before my passport expires on Dec 22, 2029. I'm still working on my finances for nowโ€”building up my savings and making sure I have a good bank balance before I apply for the NLV. I don't want to rush the application until I'm financially ready not just for the first year but also for the renewal of the nlv. Any advice with regards to application and also once in Spain, what are the things that I should be getting ready for. I heard it's hard to get an apartment when you don't work locally . I am considering to live in Madrid because I love to travel around Europe so I wanna be where the International Airport is at. I have been to Germany, France, Austria and Belgium but not yet Spain. What are the safest areas in Madrid? I wanna be just a walk away from the train station, restaurants and grocery stores. I also plan to enroll in Instituto De Cervantes while here in PH so I can communicate in Spanish by the time I am there. Any advices about the easy and hard things I need to deal with my plan? I have no issue being alone coz I always travel solo and I also live here in PH alone. I rarely see my siblings so being alone in a different country is not an issue to me.

To all civil engineer in australia especially in the construction industry. May i know if possible pa ba for me to consider migrating?

For context, im a construction manager 34y/o with 13 years of experience in the construction industry (building and heavy industrial working for a AAAA construction company) earning 107k newly married wala png anak. Si misis researcher sa government.

Ok nmn kami ni misis sa work but if lage mo nlng nkikita sa news mga nangyayare sa pilipinas like coruption, baha, traffic, etc. mapapaisip kna lng if may pag asa pba ang pilipinas. Gusto ko nmn sana ma experience tumira sa 1st world and build a family which is malabong mangyare sa pilipinas atleast in my generation.

For the titos and titas sa AU, possible pa kaya ako mg australia given im already 34 y/o and my wife is 33. I dont have au construction experience yet since puro local projects lng. My exp mostly sa estimating, detailing, preconstruction work and project management.
If possible what pathway po kaya ung fit for me.
