Jobs

A friend of mine who has recently migrated here in the US has been lucky enough to land a healthcare job in the first month of being here. I say lucky because I know that not everyone gets to land a job that easily. For some it takes months of looking and waiting. It can really get frustrating. I was just watching the news earlier and they had a feature on an ongoing job fair and the lines to get were really long. Some of those in line have been jobless for months now. Who ever said life in the US is easy is crazy because it's not. It's a lot of hard work and you should learn to not be choosy. You accept what ever is given and do your best in it and move up from there.

Job Hunting

Not me. Not yet that is. My friend is currently on a search for jobs in Philadelphia. Jobs because it's for her and her husband. After years of waiting, their petition has been finally approved and they will be moving around August. She was asking me if I know of any and of course I don't. I referred her to a website that could definitely help her. I know the feeling of moving to another country and having to start over again but I know it will be more difficult for them since they have 2 kids. They decided to move though even if the economy here in the US is not that good and that they would have to give-up their high paying job in Manila for the kids future and to be with family. Both their immediate families are here in the US already. I hope the job hunting won't be to bad for them. It will be crazy the first few months but then I know it will be all good.
