SA BAHRAIN

What made me choose the place where I am now?
In my case, there were no choices coz this was the only place I applied for and luckily I got the job. Pero siyempre before signing the contract, I asked some of my friends who had an experience working here in Bahrain or whoever na nakakaalam ng buhay dito. When I came to know na di pala mahigpit dito, I said to myself, makakasurvive ako dun.
Incentives and Benefits
Not much but there are... i. e. Meals on duty, transportation, housing allowance (if you are entitled otherwise sa staff accommodation ka titira, and I'm lucky I get this benefit), over-time na di nababayaran ino-off-set sa extra day-off which is not bad (8hrs:1day). These things may not be a lot but these small things help, compared nung sa Makati pa ako nagtatrabaho, I had to pay for my house and everything, pagod ka pa sa traffic.
If you had a choice now, where would you want to work and why (of course, let's exclude the Philippines)?
Cruise Liners, I find it very challenging and you'll have the chance to see several places, kikita ka na may pleasure ka pa, plus the fact na every 6-8 months, nakakauwi unlike sa mga OFWs sa MidEast, every 2 years lang at kung umuwi man kami yearly we have to shoulder our ticket expenses.
In-demand Jobs
IT, Hotel & Resto Services (i. e. waiters, receptionists and even A/C tech), Graphic & Website Designers, and any computer related skills/courses.
Very Important Advice
Dito sa MidEast, di namin hawak ang trabaho namin kung hanggang kelan, meaning madaming nagtatanggalan ngayon due to local employment (i. e. Saudization, Bahrainization etc.). Dapat daw ang executive levels na trabaho sa locals binibigay at di para sa expats, so what they do bigla na lang magkakaroon ng tanggalan, and you cannot do anything about it. So advice lang sa mga baguhan na nasa MidEast, save something for yourself kahit gaano kahirap i-stretch ang pera natin, so when this unexpected time comes, you have something in hand. Isa pa, wag masyado maluho kung di kaya, madami kasi dito sa nakikita ko nakikipagsabayan kahit wala naman. MITCH
