Hi Everyone ...I'm Rose, been in the country for about 6 months now, living in Portsmouth, and have quite adjusted to things here ...I think my next big challenge is getting work ...from what I've been reading on the site about Filipinos having trouble finding jobs despite their qualifications, I might just be in hot water myself ...any advice on that would be much appreciated coz' I'm kinda lost of where to start ....I know now that a bachelor's degree from the Phils doesn't really count here, nor does different work experiences ...in the past four weeks I've been applying for jobs that I "think" I have the ability to do, but it seems that my applications are automatically binned because I don't have the UK experience and UK references ...at least that's what I think it is, coz I'll never really know as don't get any replies of rejection either ...it's getting frustrating and I'm getting desperate ...anyhow, it's nice to know that this forum exists ...the reality of things are "spot on" here
