Selecting the right job offer from the company you’ve applied
Do you remember the time when you finally got hired? After going through series of exams and interviews at last, you heard a “yes†from an employer. How about being accepted in more than one company you’re applying to?
P4M discount from an 8-door apartment with refilling station
Got this from a feed from Trace Trajano, a real estate investor based in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. An 8-door apartment in Las Piñas with a fully functional water refilling station easily worth P8M is available for sale in the amount of just P3.99M only until February 10.
The property described to be 5 minute walk away from the Alabang-Zapote Road, 20 minute ride away from SM Southmall, 30 minute ride away from Alabang, and near a barangay hall, city hall and public market, stands to generate P56,000 monthly rental income for its new owners and a possible additional income of P15,000 to P40,000 rental or business income from the water refilling station.

Comic relief job advertisements
I’ve posted a similar entry before in my other blog regarding this but without an image. Haven’t bought my CX 2900 Epson Stylus printer back then. Now its time to present the picture. Judge if it really draws you to laugh or its plain corny. All are from Manila Bulletin.
New POEA Policy on Direct Hiring – How Will This Affect Us?
(I wrote this post in my Multiply site and cross-posted to my Blogger site in the hopes of reaching more readers. This is a problem that does not only apply to doctors who wish to work abroad, but any other OFW who obtains his job through direct hiring. Please let people know about this new ruling – especially your friends and relatives who will be the most affected by it. You may sign a petition for its abolition over here if you agree with me.)
I posted this message on the Pinoy MD forum last night, in the hopes that more fellow doctors will be made aware of this new policy on Direct Hiring. I know that most of my contacts and most of those in my extended network are young doctors like myself, who are considering going overseas for training and employment opportunities.
As doctors, most of us who seek work abroad do not go through recruitment agencies but rather apply on our own and are hired directly by hospitals we are matched to in the US or are accepted into (in other countries). Since I see no provisos in the copy of the memorandum (you can get to read the full document over here) for doctors or other professionals, this will definitely affect our own bids to leave the country through direct hiring. This will be particularly problematic for colleagues who have been given H1b visas to the US. The rest of us who are to be sponsored on temporary employment visa will be greatly affected as well.
How it will ultimately affect us (and our chances for being matched and hired by hospitals abroad), I don’t know. But its effects will likely be detrimental rather than benificial given the recent economic slowdown and the fierce atmosphere of competition in the world at large. The POEA has just given foreign hospitals one more good reason not to hire Filipino.

Challenges in Problogging, making money online
Others (non-bloggers, non-frequent internet users and some plain bloggers) may not be aware of the struggles budding full time professional bloggers have to undergo.
It’s not always about earning big bucks. I’m telling you, and I’m sure probloggers will agree, that revenue don’t come in an instant during the initial venture to this career. Alongside problogging are hassles, situations and trials telling you to quit at once.
Free Accounting for Non-Accountants ebook
Accounting is really easy. It is not rocket science. In fact, your regular accountant may be, as the popular tv game would say, not as smart at your regular fifth grader.
If you don’t believe me, ask him on the spot what’s the sum of 21 and 18. Or any other pair of 2-digit numbers at that. Chances are he will still punch the thing on his calculator before giving an answer. Read the full post at Pinoy Seminars.
