Hey I'm new to this and I saw many interesting post and a lot of people helping out. So my name is Matt and I'm half Austrian, half philippino and lived my howl life in Dubai U.A.E. I'm 22 years old and planing to move to Philippines. Now my question is, is there a decent chance for me to get a job there with just a high school diploma but fluent in German and English. My intrest are more in the watersports industry like wakeskate (similar to wakeboarding). I'll be for a month in Philippines and I'm planing to visit camsure watersports complex to practis my wakeskate but at the same time while I'm in the philippines, I want to look for a job. I hope that someone comes accross this post and can help me out or give me any tips. I'm always happy to get to know new people.

Hello Matt, I hope you enjoy your visit. Since you are Half Filipino did your mother/father keep their Filipino citizenship? If not, was one of them a Filipino at the time of your birth? If so you should apply for dual citizenship. Unless you are a Filipino citizen it is very hard to find a job, or even to work in the Philippines. Expats need work permits etc.

Hey Scotth, well my mom use to have a philippina citizenship but she hasn't renewed it in years. I am thinking about doing that too, to get a citizenship. Thanks for the advice though.

I think you can use your fluency with German here as a customer service representative or sales for a call center. Goodluck on your job search!

Call center would be a good place to start... before looking for another job that you love.
