"Abroad" it's sound good to hear it because you can travel to other country you full fill your family needs because of high salary and demand's of payment.
But before you can go abroad or overseas, you need to complete your papers for travel abroad.
The things you need to do before you want to decide to go abroad is you need Capital for your requirements and what are does requirements?
Money
Money is the most main importante for applying and to complete your requirements because money is so needed you can't get papers without paying for those, you need to buy bio data or resume fill up all those needed information about you.
You need also to pay some rides going to the agency's, rent some computer to the internet shop to make good resume or just go to a typing job offer so they can work or start making your resume and pay for printing.
Decisions
Making a decision about going overseas is too much hard for you, me or we. There's a lot of doubts in your agencies like if you got a problem on your job they will take actions or not right.
So it's very hard to decide, but sometimes you need to take a risk because of your families futures and theirs one option left for you is to decide going abroad.
Passport
This is very useful for all overseas and travelers, but before you can get this you need get some appointment first, payments and 2 valid government ID's then you need some little sacrifice and patient to get this also. It's take 3 weeks to months to get this if your just regular service, and only 2weeks for premium or express service.
Healthy Body
You need to become healthy because that's one of the requirement also,. Why,? Because you need to take some medical examination of your body. Sometimes your scared because you don't know if your healthy or unhealthy.
Taking a medical examination it's too risk you need to sacrifice like 1 day of no eating, taking a blood sample, urine sample, saliva sample and tools sample.
If you pass those medical you are healthy. But that's not the end of medical theirs another medical again. Your eye vision, colour blind and teeth inspection if you failed those too you need again to go back because you need some medical treatment for those.
For Eye vision and colour blind you need to go to the doctor and told what is the best things you need to do to pass that kind of problem.
For teeth inspection you need to go to the dentist for dental checkup and cleaning services sometimes they offer you some artificial teeth.
Training Certificate or Work Experience with Certificate more then 2 year's
Sometimes some agency or companies required this because they want a person who are qualified for this opportunity and some job offers are also looking for this information. This sacrifices is not permanent if you want to you can have it sometimes but not all workers is lucky to got this. Mostly the applicants fake their work certificate they work 6months but the management release 2 years of work experience.
Completing all requirements
If you complete all your requirements you can submit it to your company or recruitment agencies. But don't give the original just give them photo copies only because original is your personal that is yours only.
After that you need to wait for some few days or weeks to get some feedback if your application is approved.
The recruitment agency will call you where they gonna deploy you when your flight and what you gonna do.
Flight for Work
Sometimes this dramatic if you gonna leave them and they can't accept it that your gonna leave them for risk of their future.
Take a picture before leaving is the best thing you can do for now to give them another memories. It's very hard to accept that you leave your families but this is temporarily.
Work of Overseas Filipino Workers
They work hard too much better than they work here in Philippines because they don't want to make any bad record about there work.
After their lunch break they can't go back to the ground because of tiredness so this is what they do to take some rest and take some advance to others.
Taking a nap time this kind of situation is very dangerous. Imagine if you got fall down while sleeping and you forgot to safety first very scary right.
Part Time Job
After their whole day of work they take a part time job also like 4 hours to 6 hours in a restaurant or any place that accepting part timers.
Family Quality Time or Someone Special
For a tiredness of work they don't take a rest because they need to get a bonding time to their families.
Talking about what happened today, asking how are you today. Giving quality time for a family or someone special is gaining a new strength for an overseas Filipino workers. Just know that they okay or fine no one else gonna worried.
This is my experience how hard being a Overseas Filipino Worker and I will do all my best to give my family needs for their future.
