How to Cope with the Increasing Unemployment Rate: A Philippine Scenario
How can the unemployed regain lost Philippine jobs when the rest of the world is losing?
Analysts say 2008 was when the party began, and we are yet to feel the hangover in 2009, when referring to the recent recession that’s hitting hard blows to major economic players in the world. True enough, economic disarrays are far from going back to the state when almost everybody, at least for the economic winners, wore a smile upon stepping out of the doors of the Wall Street or the NYSE.
As Forbes magazine reports, over 300 billionaires (from 2008’s list) did not make it to the 2009 roster, and even the top five richest people in the world lost at most $35 billion, including Bill Gates himself who regained the Number One spot but still lost $25 billion in 2008.
And so we have this question in mind: If unemployment in first world countries is rapidly increasing, are there still opportunities for us from a third world country to find jobs in the Philippines?
Thankfully, despite that many industries are struggling through rough seas, the unemployed can still find jobs in the Philippines by taking shelter under the so-called "recession proof" industries that are spiraling up towards the surface waters.
Booming Industries Amidst the Recession
Experts say the Philippine BPO industry can greatly take advantage of the recession that’s affecting worldwide especially that 90 percent of its clients are US-based. With US companies using cost-cutting measures to cushion losses, many of them are now deliberately resorting to outsourcing solutions to save on human resource costs. Thus, Filipino applicants can expect hundreds if not thousands of call center job listings, as well as other jobs related to the BPO industry.
For those aiming to bet their fortunes abroad, the health care industry still currently enjoys a "recession proof" state. Several countries in Europe as well as the United States are continuously inviting nurses and caregivers to render services to their aging population.
Where to Find Jobs in the Philippines
The best way to do this is to do a job search in a trusted job site, such as www.GoPinoy.com, which provides ample job listings of hundreds of jobs in the Philippines. GoPinoy.com is a newly-launched job site but has attracted tens of thousands of jobseekers in the entire Philippine archipelago, especially in the major cities. It does not only contain Philippine jobs, but also jobs from other countries in need of the skills of our Filipino workers.
If you recently felt the itch of the recession or just lost your job, GoPinoy.com can open new doors to you. The site partners with many of the biggest companies in the Philippines that hire a major bulk of the Philippine workforce.
