Hi all:

I will be relocating to Manila in a little over 2 weeks. I wish to find a job and be with my girlfriend of 3 yrs. I have alot of leads for jobs, but in relation to Philippine culture, they like you to apply in person so I don't have anything definite yet. I've been told it may take about a month to find something. If anyone can help me out in finding employment or a company that may be interested in hiring me, please let me know. I am willing to pay all the costs associated in getting my work visa, I just need sponsorship. Also, if anyone has any info on housing in or around the Makati area, that would be great. I don't think that will be a problem for me though as my girlfriend most likely will have found a place before I get there, but it never hurts to have info. I'm willing to spend 10-20,000/mo. Thanks in advance for your help. Sincerely, Eric

Call center is a booming industry in the Philippines. Some companies are accepting foreigners to fill in the slots.
