I'm not an expert at anything, i'm afraid life has been a hard game in some ways as the years i should have been making a life as a young guy were spent in illness. So it's not looking much like i can make anything happen after all really. But i'll keep looking for ways for the time being.
keep plugging away my friend, there are lot of people on here with a ton of experiences and info, I’m sure something will turn up with perseverance
Your in a better position than myself if it's any help to you Thanks for that. I'll be honest though, i have 10 grand in bank, most i ever had. If i can't get work i will loose the farm cottage i rent so i really am in no position to go a holiday. I am not one for putting personal info online as a rule, but i'm kinda worried right now. I haven't met her in person but she is such a nice humble soul. Been video calls every weekend nearly for a year. She is a gem. And right now i feel pretty bad as i have been trying to find a way but it seems less and less likely as time goes on that i can make something happen. It's all a bit overwhelming at the moment, and i appreciate all you guys input....i will try to reply to you messages, but if i don't it's not that i don't appreciate, it's just i'm kinda feeling overloaded with worry at the moment. I would love a holiday, but it would be a significant chunk out of a small pot and i simply can't justify it unfortunately.
Your in a better position than myself if it's any help to you, and i don't say that in any way to lessen your situatiin buddy. I know we all have issues and they are relative to our circumstances and personal goals /expetations excetera. I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you of course, it is a very cut throat world. I hope you can get yourself to the Philippines, and though i kind of don't know why you'd want a flat in Scotland (lol) i hope that can be realised too.
Have you considered the Open University or something to upskill in an area of interest? I just finished a course my experience was pretty good. I study remote while working full time all online.
Yeah i have considered the OU mate, but to be honest i struggle with energy, and keeping a roof over head is priority. Maybe i can look at it again though. I could see if i could find out what areas of employment are big in the Philippines and find a way through maybe.... but as mentioned previously, i think my age (53 in march) is against me.
A long road https://ph.indeed.com/q-the-british-l-manila-jobs.html?vjk=e665774e2350e64b https://ph.indeed.com/q-the-british-l-manila-jobs.html?vjk=e665774e2350e64b
I would watch the sites over the next few months see whats about, see what you need to do to fulfill the application process, many questions to be asked and answered, think through is it right for you, a new culture,language barriers,health cover, visas to work accommodation etc etc. Its your life, risk and burn, risk and regret, risk and prosper in health and mind (not money your in the Philippines)
Yeah, it's allot. Good advice there. As a matter of interest, are there ANY jabs that are mandatory to go visit in the Philippines? Because if there are, then it's a big problem.
lve never had any every time I’ve been. You are certainly not asked to show any so will not be a problem entering the country
"Recomended" being the key word there. Great to know, thankyou. I imagine you guys are laughing at how many times i've said thankyou. Haha Got to be done. Sorry. I was going to say i don't know where you guys get your energy from with replying and finding links and info and all.
I think they are just to give an idea of the kinds of work that is out there, and the type of skills that are being looked for.
I just googled Jobs for UK citizens in the Philippines and various links came up. Indeed the company are worldwide recruiting company and certainly if you click the apply button on the jobs there is a path of applcation so Yes. But as I say in my post with the links in further reading is needed
Are there any agencies the find work for uk citz in philippines? I have a class 2 license but imagine that won't be transferable to that country.
