The Expatriate

Filipino medical workers are expected to be hired in Guam, not only Filipino construction workers. Increase in the demand of health care workers in Guam are expected come 2012.

According to Emmanuel Geslani “Aside from construction workers, Guam will also be hiring nurses and other health care workers with the impending relocation of US Marines and dependents in Okinawa”. He added that aspiring Filipino nurses and doctors can now prepare by taking the necessary licensure examinations.

Health care workers such as medical technicians in radiology, cardio labs, CT-Scan, occupational and physical therapists, medical transcriptionists and administrative personnel are also required in Guam.

First quarter of the year 2010 is the expected start of deploying Filipino construction workers in Guam. But just a reminder to all Filipino workers who are aspiring to apply in Guam, recruitment has yet to start and job orders are not yet available according to POEA and recruitment industry officials.

Filipino applicants need not spend much because the US government declared that there should be no placement fee in the recruitment of foreign workers.
