  • The Work Abroad Episode

    We talk about our experiences living and working in the UK, US, Hong Kong, and Singapore, through the study abroad route and others. We also briefly touch on family and friends who made a move to the US, Canada, or are considering moving to Australia. We talk about this from our perspective as Filipinos and the accompanying potential challenges this entails.

    Andrea also talks about finding work as a digital/marketer in Hong Kong versus Singapore, and the things she wishes she had known earlier to help make job hunting abroad easier, and how all this has changed with the pandemic.

    Stay tuned for the next episode where we dive deeper into the job hunt experience such as interview questions to prepare for and working culture in different countries.
