employment in the uk for filipinos
I just want to ask, are there are a lot of Filipinos out there who are not in the medical & health services who are having trouble nailing a job...?
Basically, I've been looking for a job for 6 years now and I can't help but think that it's an uphill struggle purely because I'm not British. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm anywhere near special, or unspecial, in this case, but I can't help feeling a massive discrimination against me every time I admit I'm Filipino. I obviously don't look Filipino, as you can see from my avatar, and my accent is more of a Canadian/American & I'm fairly comfortable with the English language but every time I say - or show my passport - interviewers just seem to look a little TOO deflated. I come from a financial customer services background with a good experience from HSBC back in the Philippines but unlike most Filipinos, I haven't completed a university degree as I personally do not believe in it. So not entirely sure what's going on here. Any pointers?
