Foreigner Struggles to Find Employees in the Philippines

  • If the poverty level in Bohol is above 20%, is it really that hard to find someone to work with me? Is my mission too much to handle? Would I have to do this all alone? These were just some of the questions I had when I was looking for my first employee in a brand new country. In this episode I take you through the ups and the downs, of at least what my experience was, as a foreigner goes. There are times when the easiest solutions are right in front of us and all we need is for someone to point us in the right direction.
    Thanks for all your support and catch you guys on the next Pursuit 🤙

    Your videos are speaking to me. I’m moving my family to the Philippines soon and doubt creeps in at times. Your videos have been strengthening my faith. Thank you Jesus. Maybe our paths cross in the future and I maybe able to help in some ways. God Bless.

    Your vision is very interesting and it really caught my curiosity and attention. How come this foreigner came up with this kind of courage and determination to pursue this things? I salute you Polin and admire you for that! How I wish I can do something in my own little way to help you reach and achieve your goal. Your the kind of person who should be supported by all means.

    Good for you. You are blessed with a qualified and honest one, and local Filipino employees. Love your employees, respect them, and show concern to each and every one of them and their families. In return, we Filipinos give back the highest form of respect to our employer and value relationships rather than money. Thank you for embracing the Filipino culture. God Bless You, your family and your business. Watching from Kent, England.

      Hello friend. I'm one of ur follower. I'm sure I'll find pursuit of happiness. About hi ring, advertise, have their resume. If u want him or her, it's time to hire. Observe for two or three mos. Observe their attitude. Put them on probationary period. If u 'r satisfied of their work then that's it. W/o hesitation, u'll have a written contract about length of stay on their job. Ante
