How does it feel to be turned down when you are desperate to have a job? In a very competitive job market these days, we should accept that we will not always be winners and thus, could be turned down by some employers even though we feel that we are qualified to do the job.
Unlike in other members of the GCC, Kuwait offers limited entertainment options for Filipinos and other expatriates. Don’t expect to see music bars with live bands. Moreover, don’t expect mouth-watering ice-cold beers or other forms of alcoholic beverages being served even in Hard Rock Cafe.
The time I have spent away from Philippines as an OFW here in the Gulf may not be enough to share the most of what other OFW veterans have experienced and learned but my short stint in staying and working in this part of the world will be worthy of sharing to other OFWs working elsewhere (outside of the Gulf) and those who are planning to come over here to earn more.
