Before I got the opportunity to work with Hastings Deering LTD in Papua New Guinea, I was just a simple mechanic of CAT Heavy Equipment in the Philippines who earned minimum pay to provide for my family's needs. My wife had to work hard to help me pay the bills and we had to leave our son in the care of his nanny. Though our joint income and other benefits were enough for our family, we still we dreamed for a better life.

As a Heavy Equipment Fitter in the Philippines, I was always busy and worked so hard in all my out-of-town assignments but I felt that my salary did not compensate for my efforts for the company and my absence in my own family. We were able to start building our dream house but it was through a company’s loan. Every month was a struggle for my wife and I to pay the loans and bills but we survived by God’s grace. We were unable buy what we liked, only what we needed, for our daily living.

My life was changed since I have been employed overseas.

Overseas employment has given me the chance to elevate my financial status and grow professionally. Furthermore, it gave me self-worth and confidence, especially now that I am capable of giving my family a brighter future.

It was a struggle at first to be far from all of my loved ones. But all I thought of was that it’s for my family’s welfare and improvement. I asked my wife to resign from her job because I can now solely support all our monthly expenses. We continued our building our home and paid all our loans.

Aside from that, I can now give a monthly allotment to my parents and my mother-in-law for their food and personal needs. I am able to send my son to study in a private school and provide him a comfortable home to live in. I can buy him what he likes to eat and play the toys he enjoys without forgetting discipline, of course.

Now, every time I go back home after six months of working abroad, I can treat my whole family to go out-of-town and I am able to give them each a present. I am happy to give back to God also the blessings that He gave me and now I have supported our church renovation.

Furthermore, my knowledge and skills of CAT Heavy Equipment Machines have improved. I have also learned to work well with fellow workers of different nationalities.

Ms. Ermie and Ms. Melissa, who are a part of the CQSServices Team, were very approachable and accommodating. They helped me with my documents and answered all of my questions throughout the visa application process. They were kind and considerate of me as a first time applicant to work abroad. They were receptive to all my inquiries and follow-ups. They gave me true and good advice in what must I do to accomplish all the documents I needed.

I highly recommend CQSServices to all my fellow Filipinos who want to get a job overseas. They are reliable, fast and hardworking in helping you process your documents to get your visa the soonest time possible. They are friendly, approachable and accommodating to any inquiries you may have and follows-up on their job applicants.
