Going Or Not Going: World Traveler

Reasons that stop you from working abroad and or factors that motivates to get ahead.rnMelanie R. Boiser rnPictures posted on Facebook and or Twitter accounts of friends working abroad with all the views and fulfilled look on their faces makes me wonder oftentimes why I’m still works in my beloved country land with compensation that does not meet even half of my family’ needs. Many share the same sentiments. But here are the conflicting ideas in order to gain insights. Get ahead and earn big bucks! rnFirst is the Information. Build social networks in order to know the world lived and worked for by colleagues in order to learn the first paced. Get online, chat with them asks them questions how they landed on the job. Or surf the net for job that offers work abroad, verify its legality and validity of the job order through government agencies. Look for job that fits your qualification. Second are the finances. Applying for abroad even if hired by valid agencies still requires thorough documentation like passport, school records, medical or health clearance and other government clearances as well as other pertinent papers required by the country employer you are hired of. Money is needed in order to process or expedite these documents. Most of the agencies if you are hired through agencies offer financial assistance through loan deductible with your salary, and or external financial institution especially if you have contract of employment already. Outsourcing of funds is easy if one gets hired already. Third is the expectation. Family is the reason why a person is motivated to go abroad and they are the persons greatly expects that by doing work abroad you are expected to resolve all the debts and meet all the needs as well as wants. You on the other hand expect to meet all their expectations. This is the reasons why most of workers abroad despite the abuse and neglect of the original contract which promises good pay by the employers still sticks on with the job, because of the great expectation of the family waiting. Although high expectation is good one should also be vigilant. Expect the unexpected and take heed of actions in order to meet it head on. rnI’ll stay and get by…rnFamily is the utmost reason. There was one time my husband and I had a fight over finances and debts and along came an opportunity offered by a friend to fill in a position in their company abroad with a good pay and good benefits. I almost believe myself I will get ahead and earn big, but the following morning before I ride with my husband going for work my 2 year old son hugs me and kisses me as if I’m not going home after office. With his pleading voice he whispered and said, “I love you mom, please don’t go to work”. And here I am thinking of going abroad. Afraid of changes. I dreaded going to work and doing the same task all over again. But why do most prefer to do the same job even if you hate it? I’m not ready meeting new bosses or colleagues. I love that job but I’m afraid there are not chances of my getting it. These are some of the reasons why most prefer to stick with the dreaded job. Changes are inevitable and certainly feared by most if these changes require new things that are not in the ordinary course of the person. Earning big and having success working abroad is a good thing, while others prefer to go by with their current job. The only factor that these two have in common is family. It’s the most motivated reason why a person is going and or not going.
