I get nervous hearing and seeing my phone ring, which is ironic for someone who is a Professional Recruiter. I’m very aware that many people do not like it either and prefer to text. But to me, no matter what new communication tool comes, the phone will still be King. In my latest blog + pod, I share (Effective) Communication Tips from a Recruiter so you can give your message across correctly and avoid misunderstanding.

For the second season’s premiere, I want to talk about my journey as a Filipino working overseas. February 2023 is my 10th year in Singapore so it is fitting for me to look back and finally share my journey here, which I am surprised I haven’t done earlier. A lot of people in my home country the Philippines and perhaps in many developing countries aspire to work overseas. So I want to share my own experiences and what I think it takes to embark on this journey, how to thrive, and if this adventure is for everyone.

Most of the world has been consumed by this app called TikTok, especially the youngins’. NO I’ve not downloaded the app since its inception. Despite its popularity, how everything is there now, and how trends spring up from there, I don’t feel compelled to download it. I share my reasons why on this episode. Links on my bio!
