I know there are many Filipinos who want to be seaman or seafarer or mariner because of great benefits and high salaries. In this page, I discuss how to become a seaman in the Philippines. How much is the salary of seaman, how is the training and where to apply for jobs at companies hiring seamen, seafarers, maritime jobs and sea-based jobs for qualified crew.
Seaman Basic Training Course in the Philippines
In order to become a seaman, the first step is to have the basic seaman training (also known as BST). As a beginner, you need to take the STCW 95. This is the basic training and term used worldwide for seamen and seafarers entry level to work on boats, yacht or ships over 24m here and abroad. When you completed this training, they will give you a certificate and this will serve as a license to go forth in your seaman and maritime career.
Before you get the STCW95 certification, in the Philippines, you need to complete and pass a 7-day training and course which covers the following:
- Sea Survival Techniques
- Personal Safety and Social Responsibility
- First Aid
- Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention
You must enroll at schools and colleges offering these maritime training and courses. Make sure you enroll only at trusted training centers and schools approved and accredited by Maritime Training Council of the Philippines.
How much is the Basic Seaman Training in the Philippines?
Usually it costs around P4500 or above (price may vary after the date of this post)
Seaman Requirements to Work Abroad and Overseas
After you have gotten a BST certificate, there are still requirements for you to work and be employed by a shipping company, yacht or go on cruise and overseas. A seaman needs the following:
- BST or STCW 95 Certificate
- Seaman Book
- Passport
If you don’t have a seaman’s book yet, you really need to get one as this is very important just like your passport. The seaman book is stamped every time you go on board or employed in a ship or marine vessel. This is also required when you apply for a visa to work abroad.
If you want, you can read ‘how to get a seaman’s book in the Philippines’ for your reference.
Once hired, you need to register at POEA to become an official and registered Filipino Seaman. You may need your employment contract and the documents mentioned previously. They will issue you an SRC (Seafarers Registration Certificate). Another document required before you start working on board are transit visas. Your employer will assist you in getting one.
Seaman Salary in the Philippines
For starters, salaries ranges from P20,000 – P25,000 depending if the company allows salary deductions. That is just the starting salary. Once your seaman level is upgraded or you have gone another training or you are promoted it goes higher. Some seamen receive as much as P60,000 or P150,000 depending if the company is huge like a big European shipping line or a famous cruise ship for luxury travels.
Salary and benefits differ depending on the positions like chief officer, chief mate, second mate, third mate etc. Some positions also pay triple the basic salary like wheelhouse, master, able seaman, harbor pilot and the like. Majority of companies offer paid vacation leave.
Agencies hiring seaman in the Philippines include Magsaysay Maritime, Career Shipping Co. and Maritime. Some POEA accredited seaman schools also offer seaman jobs.
BSMT and BSMarE in the Philippines
The meaning of BSMT is Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation while BSMarE means Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering. In order for you to have a full degree in your maritime career, you may take any of these courses especially if you are aspiring for officer positions and higher ranks.

Sir/ Mam ,
Jason Ray Tan po eto 17 years old
nag aral po ako ng BSMT pero 1 year lang kasi hindi ako nakapasa sa medical, my findings kasi sa ECG test ako. Pero sa tingin ko naman sa sarili ko ok lang naman ako , hindi nga ako nakakaramdam ng kahit anong weaknes sa katawan. except lang po sa lagnat kasi sa tingin natural lang naman yan,
pero ano po ang ma advice niyo sa akin, kasi gusto ko kasi talaga maging seaman kahit sa pilipinas man lang.
pls. paki reply po … Thank you po.?
Maam/Sir . Please pakisagot po.tanong ko. Parang awa niyo na po. Nawalan po kase ako ng gana magseaman dahil natatakot po ko na baka bagsak ako sa medical. Nahawaan po ko ng T.B perp gumaling na po ako at may certificate pa. Na nagpaggaling ng 6mos. Makakaaakay po ba ako niyan? Tapos Malabo po mata ko. As in malabo po . Pero may salamin po ako. 2015 pa ako grumaduate pero di pa ako nasakay dahil takot ako dahil baka bagsak lang sa medical . Pls po pakisagot. marine engineering po ko 20 yrs old
Mag try ka lang uli boss, ako po ay hindi seaman pero balak rin mag seaman.
Ako rin po ay nagkaTB noon nalaman ko lang sa medical noong 2008 bumagsak ako sa medical nagpagamot ako after a year natanggap nanaman ako at employers interview at nagpa-medical pero ganoon parin bagsak ako sobrang dinamdam ko yon iyak talaga. Nag-resign ako sa trabaho dahil sa trabaho ko nga nakuha yon. Pati nga sa Pinas noon nahirapan ako kasi nga nakikita nila sa x-ray….
Last December 2012 wala akong trabaho naisipan ko mag apply uli sa abroad. Natanggap ako at nagpa-medical pumasa at nakapag-abroad at nandito uli ako sa abroad second time ko na to.
Try lang ng try boss????
38 na ako ngayon pero naisip ko mag try naman sa barko di ko pa alam kung papaano at ano…, Siguro mag pipefitter ako mechanical maintenance technician ako dito ngayon at mechanical technology ang natapos ko, machinist ako dapat pero kulang naman ako sa experience, basta mag-try ako kung anong pwede sa akin. Dahil yon ang advice ng mga OFW na tumagal na dito sa Saudi, mas malaki daw ang kita sa barko at months lang makakauwi ka di kagaya sa mga karaniwang contract every two years ang bakasyon.
Ok po yon lang po ang mai-share ko, salamat, good bless po sa ating lahat.
Good day po, magtatanong lang po kung pwede pa po ba ako maging isang seaman, ako po ay si emmanuel luna , 29 years old, may experience po ako as police officer for 4 years, gusto ko po malaman ang kailangan kong gawin o kailangan kong kumpletuhin para maging seaman. 09322021610 eto po ang cp number ko. Salamat po
Aral ka nalang ulit ng BSMT or BSMarE, its never been too late pa para sa age mo kasi sa expi ko may mga classmate dn ako na line of 30s mga 1/2 year ka lng sguro dpnde sa dami ng maccredit na subjects mo, maganda kasi pag graduate ka after 1yr expi mo sa barko makkpag exam ka agad.
Pero may mga kaibigan ako na di na nag aral, my mga requirements at ubod ng daming trainings na knuha at is p dun eh may backer. Yun nga lang kng di ka nakapag tpos ng bsmt or bsmarE tpos kng wala kng backer di ka makakasampa talaga. Pero kng graduate ka magagawa mo makipag sabayan.

Hi, good day. Im a registered criminologist and 24y/o. What would be the easiest option for me to become a seaman?
Is there a related job vacancies in the seaman profession?
Do they have a program in which i wont need to spend some years back in college?
Or do i really need to enroll to a maritime related course?
Ofcourse, i would want to have a high paying job position.
What would be my best option ?
Pleasr help me.
First question os do you have a BACKER? or you have that “SUPER INTELLIGENT” sad to say that seafaring industry runs like that. For me much better pursue being a good policemen that being a seafarer. Btw if you want still to pursue in seafaring industry dont go to private institutions (colleges and universitys’) you have a limited chance apply for academy like. PMMA or MAAP or NYK-TDG maritime academy for sure after your graduation you have work.
… hai im israel, taking up bsmt at mpc here in mindanao, is it ok to direct apply in international shipping company for my apprenticeship,,?

Sir nais ko lang po magtanong.. 2nd year BSMarE Student po ako.. Nakapag take na ako ng stcw or bt . matatanggap po ba ako or makakapagtrabaho sa barko dispite na malabo po ang mata ko.. ?
Good Morning, i’m graduate of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering course and i have a license now .
i would like to apply seaman job as Marine Engineer, (related in my coarse field as a Mechanical Engineer ), but my question is HOW?
-What first step?
-Requirements?
-Qualification?
-Training?
-and so on?
pre same situation ko. Pag may sumagot sayo eh pwede bang pasabi din sa akin sa email. please pare need ko din malaman.
Im not familiar what MechEng is. In a ship we have the officer level and support level if youwant to pursue working as a seafarer you maybe in a support level.
In terms of training this trainings are general training which needed by everybody no exeption
*Basic Training (former BST)
*SDSD
*Consolidated Marine Pollution
Excluded those special training where it depends what kind of vessel your are joining.
Aral ka nalang ulit bro. BSMarE dapat para madami ka ma credit na subject, like sa prof ko, 1year and half lang nya tiniis yung schooling, ayun degree holder ndn ng BSMarE nag take nalang ng mga major subects.
Magtatanung lang po about taking bs mare graduate po ako ng mechanical engineering technology 3 year course plan ko po mag apply as fitter machinist sa barko after my contract here in Malaysia ofw po ako dito almost 8 years na machinist ang trabaho, just incase makapag experience po ako sa barko example 2 years on board, then mag aral ako ng bs mare yung apprenticeship ba na 1 year ay macridet ba sa experience ko. 30 years old na po ako ngayun.
Di na pwede maka exam sa marina ang mga licensed mechanical engineer. Pwede mag wiper hanggang mapromote maximum na electrician or fitter. Although mas maraming nalalaman yung mechanical engineer kesa marine engineer na chief engineer ang kaso manila ammendments na ang stcw ngayon eh.
Hello po, pano po king graduate po ako ng 4yr course na BSIT, tas gusto ko po mag take ng BSMT, sa tingjn nyo po gaano katagal para matapos ko yung pag take nung course? Thanks in advance po
Tsaka may age limit po ba sa pag sakay sa barko? 23years old na po ako
BSMT takes you 4 years (regular). I think just pursue your IT industry we have age limits i think 22 or 23 it depends on the company
Hello. I am 18 years old po at balak ko pong mag take ng BSMT but wala ng open school around manila. tas nabasa ko pa na may age limit ang pag sakay sa barko so is it still possible kung mag tetake pa ako ng BSMT next year? Sana po masagot.
Licensed Electrical Engr. po ako. anu po mga requirements para makapag work sa isang cruise ship? thanks po sa feedback
Good morning…may I ask po kung anong company po ang tumatangap ng on job training para po sa aking anak na magtatapos po sa kursong BSMT ngayong march 2016 God willing po….san po pwedeng mag apply para sa kanyang apprenticeship to complete his course…sana may ma i recomen po kayong company na tumatangap ng aprentice,,, maraming salamat God bless po!

Good day! I just hope that you will response. I am now a education student. But i really want to become a seawoman just like my uncle. What are the basic or main qualifications to be one?
It’s not Basic Safety Training(BST) anymore, it’s Basic Training(BT) now. Oh and I would also like to add the Seafarers with Designated Security Duties(SDSD) as a mandatory like BT in the present. Cadets from the maritime schools undergo this training before they graduate. The time you graduate there’s tons of training to take before you get onboard so one must have a decent amount of savings before choosing a seafarer as a profession.
Ganda po ng mga post nyo ma’am dami nyong natutulugan. salamat po sa mga info at pagpalain po kaayo ang pamilya nyo…
Salamat God bless you din po

My advice is get a bridging program for ME graduates (6months leading to a degree in BSmarE) from accredited maritime schools.
Try MAAP (maritime academy of asia and the pacific) in Bataan they are offering bridging program free of charge provided you pass their academic and physical test.
Good eve po

Gud pm maam/sir ask k lng if pwede po mkakuha ng src sa poea khit na undergrad ng highschool? Nkakuha na po me ng CAV red ribbon… Reply po maam/sir impt.lng po tnx po Godbless
gud a.m. hrm graduate po ako maam pero wala ako experience gusto ko po sumakay ng cruise ship mag work as a steward or housekeeping, hindi pa po ako kumukuha ng training kasi pra ma lessen yung gagastusin ko unless suggested ng agency, ano po ba ang dapat kung gawin kung hindi po ako makahanap ng work balak ko magtraining sa magsaysay as a housekeeping kahit may idea na ako sa ganitong industry ok po ba yun salamt maam..
Since you are already HRM graduate, what you need now is a real job experience related to housekeeping if you want to apply as housekeeping staff. Work in a well-known hotel for a year or so and don’t resign even if you are applying abroad. Companies abroad usually need at least 2 years experience of related job. No need to attend training since HRM kana, degree holder kana.
Basic safety training and other company specific training is still required
hi maam, good afternoon, may mga tanong po ako. graduate po ako ng b.s architecture and i’ve also passed my board exam last june 2013. now that i’m already an architect, but, not a full pledge architect dahil sa wala parin po akong swerte na makakuha ng mga projects, even one.
actually, hnd nman po tlaga architecture ang gusto kong kunin noon, napilitan lang ako dahil gusto ng relatives ko, pero seaman tlaga gusto ko ever since bata pa ako.
tanong ko lang po, pwede pa po kaya ako maging seaman despite sa pagiging arkitekto ko? what are the requirements, steps and how? i’m now 27y/o, 4yrs experience on related field, passport no problem.
sana po matulungan po ninyo ako maam sa aking pangarap for becoming a full pledge seaman. thank you and GodBless!
Yes, you can pursue it. Start by having BSMT, apply for seaman jobs, and upgrade your seaman career by attending more training. Another option is, take full degree related to it like BSME and just get the units you lack since you already have Bachelors degree (architecture)
mam fehl ako po marketing graduate tanung ko lng po kong my position po b nun sa mga cruise ship?? gusto ko po sana maging seawoman ,,passion ko po talaga un.. 20 years old po ako fresh grad. currently employed in Makati as marketing assistant.. mam sana po ay matulungan nui ako.. salamat po
My husband is a seaman now aboard an intl vessel tho he is not a graduate of maritime courses but other course i just want to know if he can take prc exams to be an officer
Deck and Engine officers need to finish BSMT and BSMarE to be eligible to take PRC exams plus 1 year relevant on board experience.

hi im currently studying BS-Marine engineering, and im 27 years old now, i will be graduating next october 2015 am i still eligible to go onboard?
are RME preferred as electrician compared to REE on seafarer jobs??i’m a REE and looking to shift to seafarer job..hope you could answer my querry..thanks
RME as in registered mechanical engineer? All shipboard electricians I know are BSEE or BSECE. So that makes you very eligible for the job. There are maritime institution and training centers that offer a program for shipboard electricians(electro cadets) libre po lahat yung training at sila pa bahala maghanap ng employer mo. Please check out Magsaysay and Norwegian training center.
Sir. ECE graduate po ako and already 32 years of age, work here in Taiwan as preventive maintenance.My chance ba sir maka work sa ship?..any work will do to me..thanks
I’m a registered mechanical engineer and I want to become a seaman, is there a possibility for me to become an engine officer even though I’m not a graduate of maritime school? Pa advice nman po.
I am Graduated With Bachelor of Science in information Technology,. 4 years course.. Qualified po ba ako to become a seaman??
You’re still young . I was 35 years when I became a seaman. Just pray, study hard, and focus on achieving your dreams.
Hi sir Errol, first of all i was inspired when you mentioned that you became a seaman with that age 35. They told that its too late for that age to become a seaman but you keep going and now you have it all. Although you’ve encounter some obstacle but you never los hpe i salute you for having such outlook or looking forward and now ur successful. It says you reap the fruit of ur labor. Sir i would like to ask if i could still have a chance to pursue a career like yours, im now 1 year older than you? From village boy thank you.. And wait for your response.

Hi there, I would like to seek your assistance as to which maritime training institutes should I enroll for my basic safety training. I am afraid for some institutions with attached hearsas regarding training or even facilitating processing seamans buk. Would you recommend ncr or region4 based training ctrs? Or have any feedback on my planned training ctrs like magsaysay, femfi and nyk fil maritime? Thank you and more power.
We have the complete list of Accredited Maritime Schools in the Philippines. See the Related Articles above for the link of the post
thank you fehl i appreciate your reply, may i ask another one. would you know of positive feedbacks from some of them(or the ones i mentioned above) when it comes to training or processing of documents or other areas of training or securing certificates. thank you very much.
The strategy I see from successful seamen is that they don’t stop climbing the ladder. What I mean by this is, once they go down from the ship and go home in the Philippines, they take another training and study to step higher ranks. I know someone who eventually achieved his dream, now he’s earning about 500,000 per month
Hi ma’am,
I’m a graduate of BS Computer Engineer, and so happen that there is a great opportunity given by one of a Greek person in a known maritime company, but as far as I read through this forum, I found out that there is no specific degree to be a seaman?, correct me if I’m wrong, cause if that so I might pursue this new career..
And also want to ask, what maybe a good position that can be relate to my course? sayang naman kc.. hehe sorry but actually nowadays working as an programmer or somewhat here in Philippines the rate is not good enough kung baga for survival.. sorry for the word and its hard to earn and save money for only 20k a month lalo na pag pamilyado kana.. and I see to it na most of the forums about being a seaman they have good story line but un nga sacrifice lang tlga from you love one.
It depends upon the position you want to take. If you only want to work as a beginner, you can have the basic training and start from the lower positions. But if you want to pursue higher ranks, a degree is recommended like BS Marine Engineering and BSMT as mentioned in the article. I know seamen who only had basic training but it’s hard for them to be promoted unlike those who have the degree. A degree is always preferred in any career or work.
Hello, I am a fresh graduate of BSHRM. What I am going to do to work as a seawomen? I had a shipboard certificate. Pls help me. Tnx
im graduate in high school,,,,and i want to be a BSMT,but wala aqng sapat na pera para makapag enrol ng gamitong korso ,,,ano po va ang pwedeng course na mas mababa ,para makapag apply aq blang isang seaman someday
Nowadays, companies prefer candidates with Bachelors Degree like Marine Engineering although you can opt to have BSMT and just have enough experience and training which will cost you some money too.
I graduated as BS Computer Engineer (2013) and has no requirements for seamen but I’m willing to complete those requirements given. my question, “Is there an opportunity for me to be an IT in a commercial ship? what is the other requirements that I need to have?” thanks a lot 🙂
hi gud day,i am a mechanical eng’g graduate and working as hvac technician locally employed.i also have experience working abroad in the same field,.is there also hvac and refrigeration job on ships.hoping for your response.thank you
Actually there is an HVAC and refrigerations job on board ships but this responsibility falls on the hand of the 2nd engineer or electrician. I am also a Mechanical Engineer, I work as a Gas Engineer on board ships( gas carriers). Back then they mostly hire ME grads but now the requirements changed and they require us also to be Marine engineering graduates so we still need to go to bridging program (6months) and get a prc license .
Is seatrip required in applying job??

Hi Ma’am,
I am a Registered ECE and has no requirement for Seaman.
But I am planning to enroll or attend trainings to complete all basic requirements to become a Seaman.
I had already 3yrs of experience on my field as an electonics engineer in Semiconductor Industry but then sad to say hasn’t any earned money and can’t help my family financially.
That’s why I am thinking for a new career in other field– to become a seaman.
My Question are;
[]what position can be suit on my profession if i will be a seaman?
[]is it easy to apply?
Thanks in advance. 😀
Best Regards,
Joel Dg.
Sir, kamusta? Natuloy po ba kayo maging seaman?
Tulad niyo, gusto ko din maging seaman at RECE din.
Ship electricians are mostly EE or ECE graduates. Please check out Magsaysay or Norwegian training center they are offering electro cadet programs. Good luck !
Steps to become apprenticeship overseas:
1. BST(Bacis Safety Training Course) or Solas (old name) 1 week duration 8 hours a day.
2. Semansbook
3. Passport
4. Travel abroad NBI
5. SRC (Seaman Registration Certificate issued by POEA)
6. TRB (Training Record Book from your school)
7. COC (Certificate of Competency)
8, Expenses
forget the other certificate or trainings first.. the company will require you a certain training/seminars abide from the vessel/ship taking up too . To lessen the expenses.
gud day sir about sa SRC,TRB, and COC paano po acksuhin yan kpg natanggap kn sa trbho or bgo ka muna mag apply sa agency n aapplyan mo kylngn meon kn ng mga yan? kasi sa’kin po kinukumpleto ko pa lng yung PASSPORT ko NBI, SEAMAN’S BOOK, BST ko. i need some advice kung anu po ang the best way mkpg apply sa barko TIA!
for those people wants to be seaman/seawoman but no experience or academic school earned, I suggest you to apply Steward/stewardes, Cook/Assistant Cook or Messman. Because you have a big chances to get hired by the shipping companies expecially cruise ship.
Hi sir! I am a graduate of 4 year course, worked as dh in hongkong for almost 6 years. Right now im studying housekeeping to get NC 11 and scheduled BST on march 28 to april 5.my worried is my age im 38 years old now and no experience in cruise ship job do you think i still have a chance to work in cruise ship?please advise me thank u very much,
I am a graduate of Associate Degree of Marine Trasnportation (which is 3 year course) and 2 months left to end my apprenticeship here in the philippines. As of now, I am gathering information about working overseas as of my course . As my apprenticeship ends, I will enroll bachelor’s degree from my school (Concord Technical Institute Cebu City, popular but not university) for 2 months duration, After that, I will enroll maritime review center and to take PRC licensure exam for deck cadet OIC – Nav Watch (or 3rdmate)
According to the shipping website, there are agencies that they will accept over age, because normally, they will hired ages 21-28 years old .. But for me, I don’t think that over age does matter for these courses as long as you have an excellent seamanship skills applied with an excellent character traits.
Im 21 years old . Good luck to me .. if anyone shipping agency owner or referrer read my comment and have urge to hire me, then pls contact me with my email :aceboyexcalibur@yahoo.com and/or via cellular phone 09224326606.
Bon Voyage everyone!
sir.. kakarcognized ko lng as a bsmt.. ngayon po na enrol kona cadetship ko.. balak ko po sana. intrnational ang mskyan ko.. pwede po ba.. may baker po ako…25 na po ako kya po ba?

Good day all and to you Fehl,
As I was going through with this post I’ve noticed lots of people want to become seafarers. Despite some of them had already a good job, while others were planning to change their career. I want to be honest with you guys regarding this profession of being a seafarer. With so many amendments in maritime industry at present it’s not easy anymore to get a job as seaman/sea woman. Changes like standardization of trainings and certificates under STCW, MLC, MARINA and even Shipping Company specific trainings. Point is yet now plenty of BSMT and BSMARE graduates were not lucky to even get at sea for this job. How much more for some of us here who is already 20 years near of retiring age and are planning to change our career path? Be satisfied of what we have now then we are happy 😀 Seafaring is a very tough and dangerous profession one cannot imagine. I am a Marine Engineer Officer of foreign LNG vessel for 10 years already. I started my career life at sea when I was 22 years old. If most of you think because seafarer earned lots of money and you would like to become one of them. Then we are all wrong, because being a successful seafarer/OFW is not on how big his salaries is, or what rank he/she has abroad, but on how at early age one has stop and retire at sea/abroad. Meaning he/she was financially stable already.
As Philpad said to one of their article in this site invest our money wisely.
Rules still apply INCOME – SAVINGS -EXPENSES not INCOME -EXPENSES- SAVINGS.
For those who want this profession good luck and GOD bless everyone…:D
Very well said. I salute your honest sharing here. I agree with you. I’m deeply moved that I want to include you as one of the people I want to interview here at Philpad. Will you take that honor? 🙂 If you read our interviews here, they are all inspiring people. I hope you contact me personally so I can chat to you about it. God bless!

hi po tanong lng po my limit ba sa age pag nag seaman thanks
Most of the agency, they require age limit. Para malaman mo, visitahin mo ang companyna gusto mo applayan.. or, tambay ka sa kalaw… andon daming seaman.. you can get info too.
Good day! I want to be a seawoman and i wanted to ask the following questions:
(1) Are the same procedures apply for women?
(2) I was wondering if there is a difference between the work that is given to a man and a woman? even the position that they may have in the ship.
Thank you!
I think so. There’s no specific requirement for women and I think the requirements are for all applicants and for seaman job description.
hi! I am a graduate of Bachelor of science in criminology, we had also a training with the basis training course, water survival, personal safety and rescue training, first aid and fire fighting as well…is it possible for me to apply as seawoman, or not? and if ever do i still need to undergo training?
good day sir!
I am not a graduate of any seaman courses, and my course is not related. As of now i am working as a Secretary here in Saudi Arabia. I am planning to train to become a part of it but i havent any idea on how to, and where to start. Could you please give me some advise/steps on how to be a part of that training.
what if, if i got my Seamans Book?
Which Training Should i get?
Thanks and more power1
Please read the article. The requirements and training to have in the Philippines to become a seaman are discussed above. The seaman’s book can be processed after the candidate was hired officially. Good luck and take care 🙂
hello there.. is ROTC required in this agency or any agency?

Hi there! Two of the requirements are BST or STCW 95 Certificate and a Seaman’s Book. Read the article to know more how to get them and how to apply.
Hi there.. i got a friend who graduated in BSMT but he’s 30 yrs of age now.. Is he still eligible to become a seaman..? thanks
yeah as long as he has a backer i will be graduating this march and im 28 years old
Hi im cedie,,im just graduated of bsmt last april 2013..i had all training but i have incomplete subject is it possible for me to have a job..pls reply
same as my question bro..
If no one from inside the company n tutulong sa inyo I recommend na ayusin nyo na muna lahat ng papers nyo. Marami kayong karibal na nag aaply sa iisang position. You should not give them reason to disqualify your credentials. Try nyo din na mag inter island muna. Isa yan sa hinahanap ng mga agency ngayun pra mas madaling ma grant ang Visa. Goodluck guys and don’t stop looking, applyan nyo lang as many agency as possible. Maraming tyaga at sipag. God bless
