Message to Miss Me:
Greetings, MissMe. I read your interesting post. You seem like the best person to ask. You mentioned being in the ad business back here in Manila. I'm in the ad business, too. Very senior with 20 yrs experience, worked for a top 4As agency on multinational accounts, and then moved to a publishing 80-man operation here to run it. But I miss ahensya, and so I am now in discussion with a headhunter for a posting in NZ or BKK for a senior role. My personal situation has not allowed me to consider working outside Manila. Ngayon na lang pwede because I can lug around my 10 yo daughter where I choose to work. I have no strong feelings for or against the NZ option becuase I have no idea if there are a lot of Pinoys working in the ad business over there.
Are you still in the ahensya business? Are there many of you connected with NZ firms? How do you find the work standards between Kiwi and Pinoy ad agencies? Do you need a post-graduate degree or an MBA to get into one? (Foreign employers seem to be more impressed with these.) Do Pinoys excel? I ask because despite my tenure and seasoned experience back here, I've always had this question whether this will be good enough in NZ on the same jobgrade. As you know, we in ahensyas work in very nice, art- directed Makati offices. We even work with expat Creatives and Clients, but we are jologs through and through. You can be top management but have the demeanor of someone running iskul bukol. We want to get things done in a straightforward manner...wala nang maraming mental gymnastics and inglisan.
I read on someone's post that there are no househelp for hire in NZ. What are the options for single parents who are there to work full time? Where can they get housecare for a minor while they are at work?
Wuld appreciate any insights you may have? |

I hate to spill the beans. But 20 years ahensya experience would mean nothing here in NZ. If you're lucky and do get your foot in, be ready to start at the bottom.
Even an MBA or Phd would amount to nothing unless it's from a "prestigious" NZ university... oh yes, that mystical "kiwi experience". Sorry that's how most NZ employers think... nde natin bansa ito |

| @rdj95 - said with such authority...are you from the ad business? was hoping someone with some sharp insight into the question could provide something more helpful than this. |

Hi MMR.A forum member told me to check out your questions. It's been awhile since I have been to this forum. By the way, MissMe is now MrsMe, can't log in using that name as I have forgotten id/pass details.
Anyways, I am in Manila at the moment and you can give me a ring in my office 7063423 so can discuss in details what my experiences running ad/marcomm agencies in both countries. There's a big difference in approach as an employee of a firm or as an owner. I have experienced both status in both countries.
Would welcome a chat. Advertising is my first love!
P.S. If you call, tell the reception if I've asked you to call, baka i-book ka for consultation. Thanks! |

hello,
newbie here..I got an aunt in NZ, resident na siya dun, she told me the possibility of starting our with low-level jobs when I get there, Im a fresh grad with no valuable experience at all. though my aunt can back me up gusto ko sana ma-weigh things before I decide going there. is it possible to at least get a nice job such as a store cashier or stuff, or uber low level talaga ang available for us..?
thanks guys! |

why?
what's wrong with jobs like cleaning or department store check out operators? if you think of these jobs as "low", I don't think you should be coming here in NZ. For NZ is a country that does not treat these jobs as 'low' nor judge people based on their jobs. these may be low-paying jobs, but decent NZ people do not treat these jobs as 'low' the same way we treat and look down on janitors and street sweepers in a third world country like the Philippines. If you would like to be in NZ and succeed, you should leave that crappy attitude behind and learn to treat people for being wonderful individuals they are regardless of what they do. in fact, ur post is even offensive for I was once a cleaner before I got the job I wanted - looking back, If I will have to do it again - I will - for if I am capable of brushing 15 toilet bowls in one night to achieve my long-term goal - then I know I am well prepared (matured) physically, emotionally and mentally to meet the challenges ahead to reach my goal/s. If I can vacuum clean five 500 sq.m. offices every day, I can vacuum clean all the barriers in my journey in life to clear the way towards success. That 'bey is called positive attitude that you can't buy from anywhere else. That positive attitude will ensure your survival anywhere, no matter what life may bring.
to answer your question - getting a job you like in NZ is a multivariate factor - a combination of preparation, skills, hard work, luck, timing, God's grace, location, and network, amongst others. in other words, no body can really tell ahead of time what kind of job you may end up with. my attitude has always been to grab every opportunity, never stop looking, until you have achieved your goal/s and satisfy the desires of your heart. but looking through my lens, your attitude/outlook needs a lot of fixin' so you will keep on goin'. |

The big question is: with you having no skill nor 'valuable experience' how will you be able to come here to New Zealand? |

| if u got a degree from a NZ university and ur skill is in the essential skills category - u may apply for silver fern. i heard the PR visa sticker comes with a footlong silver fern that is inserted in your passport - isn't that chic? but then again, that's what i heard ...could be wrong... |
