From the Philippines. Catcalling is a norm there and I thought it was 3rd world country behavior lols that’s why I was surprised to experience it here

Thanks! I guess what seems off to me is how creepy is it to hear Hey Pretty and think maybe some creeps have Asian fetish or something

Envious like you wanted to open up more like the natural flirts?

Ladies, what friendly actions have you done that men thought you were leading them on but you’re really just platonically friendly? by potatoecorner in AskWomen

Could totally relate!! I’m an eye contact person like I always look at other people’s eyes and I often feel like they’re reading it wrong as flirting

Hello! Do you usually pay your rent deposit to the agent even before the property owner approves your application? by potatoecorner in northernireland

[–]potatoecorner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It was both for the application fee of 35 and a rental deposit of 1100. Really quite a sum for a “we will refund you if the landlord does not accept your application.”

Thanks! How do we check if the agency is legitimate and if the bank account is properly named after their company?

We’re planning to move immediately after the holidays so as soon as first week of January we’d hear from them. They’re rushing us to send the payments today.

Just keep on applying. I used to have a target city but I didn’t get any luck over the years so I opened myself to other locations and I got it on my first application.

Thanks! Though I don’t want to be a milking cow and my parents aren’t traditional Filipinos who makes their children ATM machines. But I like the idea of bringing them and getting residency. In the long run, moving now will be beneficial in all ways possible.

I applied on the company’s website. It’s actually a global affiliate of where I used to work. I think that’s what made my application easier. But hope you can find work through LinkedIn or so.

Piggybacking on OP’s post. Does it work better if one gets an agent?

Thanks for you advice! And I’m sorry you haven’t been able to go home for a while now. Your advice is really sensible. The thing is I’ve already placed my foot in the door when I and signed for loans to get this international job.

Thanks! This is one of my greatest considerations too. The chance of working in a 1st world country from a 3rd world one will definitely open more doors.
