Recruitment of health workers in the US is set to continue until 2014. This is another good news for Filipinos hoping to land nursing jobs outside of the Philippines particularly in the US.

Although local nurses are also needed in the Philippines, Filipino doctors and nurses prefer to go somewhere else abroad where opportunities are greater and brighter in terms of career advancement and of course – much higher salaries.

According to Emmanuel Geslani who works for FAME or Federated Association of Manpower Exporters, approximately 1.2 million nurses more will be hired in the US until 2014. The statement was based on the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Since the visa processing for foreign nurses has yet to be made easier by US States Citizenship  and Immigration Service or USCIS, Filipino nurses should not exclusively wait for the nursing job opportunities in the US but instead seek job opportunities and gain work experiences either locally or elsewhere abroad. Geslani also cited that numerous job opportunities also awaits Filipino nurses in the Middle East.

Instead of idly waiting for the just the US job opportunities alone, why not apply elsewhere where you can gain more nursing experience and improve your nursing potential and qualification?

Despite the fact that Filipinos face stiff competition when it comes to construction job opportunities and employment in Guam, Filipino health care personnel will be in demand once Guam is transformed into a major US military base in the Pacific.

This is according to Guam Governor Felix Camacho. Underserved in health care services, Filipino nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers will be needed starting 2012. This will give ample time for aspiring Filipino doctors and nurses to prepare by taking the necessary US exams like NCLEX, CGFNS, IELTS and US Board Certifications.

Employment opportunities in the expanded naval hospital will also be needing medical technicians in radiology, cardio laboratories and CT scan, occupational and physical therapists, medical transcriptionists and medical administrative personnel.

Actual demand for these healthcare workers will start in 2012 so better start preparing.

Although Filipinos are preferred in Guam, construction workers in the US may compete with Filipinos seeking overseas employment and may get in the way of getting Filipinos hired for construction jobs.

And because of the poor economic condition and unemployment situation in the US, these workers in the US may be prioritized.

Construction jobs will be opened to everyone since new barracks, dependents’ housing, new roads and other infrastructures and buildings will be constructed to accommodate the transfer and relocation.

Although there are still no job orders approved by POEA and the employment contract is still being finalized, the POEA and Guam Labor officials have already agreed on the hourly wages which will start at $12.

The demand for construction workers will start by the first quarter of 2010 and actual construction will start in July 2010. The 18-month project is expected to be completed by 2012.

Nevertheless, those interested for construction jobs in Guam should be prepared since the application process will start in a few months from now. With the immense skills and knowledge Filipinos have, there is no doubt we can be as competitive as ever – prioritized or not.

Good news for Filipino job hunters – the transfer of US military bases from Okinawa, Japan to the island of Guam would create 15,000 job vacancies.

This is according to Philippine Overseas Employment Administration or POEA. The transfer, which will cost about $10.3 billion, will create potential job opportunities for Filipinos because Guam does not have enough people and will be needing foreign workers.

The US government, according to POEA Chief Jennifer Manalili, had recently declared that there should be no placement fee in the recruitment of foreign workers. Recruitment though has not started and POEA will make announcements in the appropriate time.

According to statistics, a total of 22,567 Filipinos had worked and resided in Guam. For this relocation project, Guam is willing to pay $11 per hour or about $2,200 per month equivalent.
