He is jobless and he had his own family now. His wife is working while eh stays at home taking care of there child. I felt pity on him because he is very desperate in looking for a job yet he cannot see a stable job. I know he was very depressed because of his situation but every time we talked to him, he keeps telling us that he is fine even if not. He was a graduate of 2 year associate Computer Technology course and we all know the competency in terms of employment now. I want to help him but I didn't know how to look for a job for his qualification. I'm just praying to God that he will find a stable job so that he could be the one to provide for his family and not be depress anymore. I am very sensitive when it comes to my family and I wanted to do every thing to help them. If it's OK, I would like to know your suggestion on how will I help my brother. Many thanks in advance.

I see. There's a lot of job opportunities on the web. Let him browse job posts like in jobstreet or pinoyjobs. I'm sure that if he try many applications at a time, there's a great chance that one will respond and call him for an interview. I know just how your brother feel because guys want to work rather than to stay at home. So, I guess this will help him in some way.

Your brother is blessed to have you as his sister. You're so sweet and caring. God bless and I pray that the job hunting will have a good result soon!

Maybe, if you are not working out of your house, you could offer him to see after his children while he looks for a job. And he should start by accepting any job he is offered and go on seeking. In these days, it is difficult to be the only provider in a household.

I hope he gets a job, my friend. I know that it is depressing not to be able to get a job, specially since he is capable of working and trained to do it. Couldn´t he get an online work meanwhile? I know we don´t earn much, but all helps.Take care

hey girl hows you???sorry for your brother.Everywhere unemployment is rising.So many people are just in condition like his.This is sad situation i must say.
There are some sources i can note-look in local newspaper adds.Upload cv on linkedin and see Philippine job search engine if there is any.Also improve contact.Get in touch with people who are in same field through different social networking sites.People working in companies know if there are any opportunities or post empty.

Nowadays, people are doing jobs not in line with what they took in College. It should be that way, because what is important is that you have a job.
A lot of nurses are employed in call centers. Others who can't find jobs within their course are into those hotels or fast food chains.
What is important is that you have a job, and it can help your family.

Yeah I really agree with SIMPLYD, indeed be very nice to work in accordance with our abilities but the competition is so tight forces us to look for other sulosi, problem here is not appropriate or not These problems are your responsibilities towards your family ne will try to think your wife and children they would greatly need you right from time to time, but this is just just opinion.
My suggestion is that you speak with very gentle to your brother I am sure with time and conditions the right brothers you will easily accept your suggestions, I know your brother I can understand what is perceived by your brother, and I believe that just came out and the encouragement of close friends who can help him to rise again.
And one more thing I hope you do not easy to give up to help your brother, remember he's really needed you ( I am very serious about this ). give him a boost It would greatly help maybe he will be angry and feel offended,
So once again I remember do not easily give up if you really care about it, I hope you are successful in helping...Amen ^__*

Nobody wants to employ him because of he type of his course and maybe he was just an associate graduate. Also, he is old enough to look for a job. I don't know what's wrong with him because I can see how dedicated he was with his previous jobs yet he cannot have the stability of employment.

Good thing that you first call God for his mercy. You talk to your brother and tell him that whatever happens he will get your support and your family. Why don't you suggest him a small business like mini grocery store where in he can spend his time while searching for a job. A small business can turn into million if combined with hard work and determination. I am happy that I can see Filipino families helping each other through thick and thin. Good Luck to your brother remember that God can move mountains!

Thanks Jade, God was always on my mind when I'm making a decision or troubled. My brother plans to build a small business but they dont have money for capital. He was almost in streets everyday looking for job yet not companies were interested to hire him. I taught him how to learn online but they cannot sustain the monthly fees for ISP. He didn't even load his mobile phone to make a call or text messages. That's why I am so desperate to help him.

Any hobby that your brother have that he can turn into profit like wood works and carpentry? how about t-shirt printing at home or just selling stuffs like direct selling if he is good in marketing.
Sometimes, we need to be all-around just to make both ends meet and education these days does not play the role for success, what is important is experience and the knowledge you have. There are a lot of ways you can encourage your brother to start if he has other skills to apply for.

He did not learn any from it because when he was young, he was just focused on playing basketball and video games. He also tried online money making sites but since they also have financial problem, they cannot pay the internet provider. He really regrets what he did when he was younger but I said you don't have to look back from the past, just focus on the future.

i dont know what's the situation in Philippines,but i do know that the so-called intelligence is that you should learn to roundabout sometime when you cant achieve your goal directly which i read in psychology books.maybe you brother shouldn't to find job right now,just to do some public services or learn some knowledges more.
