have you looked at the state agencies for counselors?

has your two degrees been evaluated by any USA evaluation service?

They need certification. That's what I need to do, have my credentials(transcripts) evaluated. Do you know where I can have it evaluated? Is WES the right service to have it evaluated? I really have no idea.

How long u been in USA?

4 years this April. I have met one or two Filipinos but that's about it. It's not like we see each other on regular basis. I wanted to work cuz 4 years is long enough, and we just bought a house so I wanted to help in paying bills. I have two kids, 2 year old and a 9 mos old baby.

I just applied in indeed.com in one of job posting as customer service rep.

Are you working?

I have a close friend who works in law enforcement in Glassboro. I am now in North Carolina. I am not sure what type of job you are looking for, but there is no shame in starting at an entry level position and proving yourself and hopefully you will be recognized and rewarded for your hard work and work your way up the ladder very quick.

I know you said that you have a couple of degrees, but try to apply at one of the fast food places, just to get your foot in the door and get some experience. There is also, Big Lots, Sears, Staples among others on Delsea Dr.

Good luck to you

I have Bachelor's and Master's degree in Psychology in the Philippines. I tried applying almost all sites I know but I always get the message saying " thank you for your interest." which means No You are not qualified! I have no problem starting at an entry level position at all, I have no luck at all. I tried in Target, Walmart, and others which I can't even remember now. It makes me feel really sad and frustrated.

Hi, I would recommend going directly to a temp agency and speaking with them. I would also go to the school district website and sign up to be a substitute teacher, they have positions all of the time. What part of Jersey? I grew up in NJ.

Glassboro. Where you now?

Good day VJ members! I thought of posting here and hoping to find some answers. I am having hard time to get a job here. I have my Bachelor's and Master's degree in the Philippines but I find my education as a hindrance in getting a job like for instance in Walmart or Target. I am not picky at all, I just want to work. I have been here for three years and had two kids during those time. Now I cant wait to get back on my feet. Any advice? or jobs you can suggest/refer? I wish there are Filipinos who can help me here, for one ,I don't have Filipino friends.

I can feel how desperate you are to find your perfect partner. I am sorry on your first marriage. I believe in perfect timing and when things are really destined to happen, it will happen no matter what. Give yourself a lil break first. It will come on right time.... There are lots of wonderful,loving and sincere Filipinas who is not after green cards. Good luck and Happy new year!
