Hi everyone, from the Philippines ako at nag-apply ako (walk-in) sa isang European company.

Pumasa ako sa lahat ng exams at requirements nila, pero after nun sinabi sa’kin ng recruiter:

“You can wait for now because there are so many applicants. You are in the waiting list, we can’t give you a slot yet. You can go inter-island if you want, or you can wait, but it will take a long time.”

Nalilito ako sa actual status ko. Ibig ba sabihin nito na accepted na ako pero naghihintay lang ng slot/deployment? O hindi pa talaga ako officially hired at parang backup candidate lang ako?

Hindi ko rin sure kung maghihintay pa ba ako o mag-apply na ulit sa ibang company. Ayokong mawala yung chance ko dito, pero ayokong ma-stuck kung wala namang kasiguraduhan.

May naka-experience na ba ng “waiting list” na ganito sa agencies o overseas employers? Ano usually ibig sabihin nito sa inyo?

Any advice would really help.

Hi everyone, I’m from the Philippines and I recently applied (walk-in) to a European company.

I already passed all their exams and requirements, but after that the recruiter told me:

“You can wait for now because there are so many applicants. You are in the waiting list, we can’t give you a slot yet. You can go inter-island if you want, or you can wait, but it will take a long time.”

Now I’m confused about my actual status. Does this mean I’m accepted but just waiting for deployment? Or am I not officially hired yet and still just a backup candidate?

I’m not sure if I should keep waiting or start applying to other companies again. I don’t want to lose my chance here, but I also don’t want to waste time if I’m not actually guaranteed a position.

Has anyone experienced this kind of “waiting list” situation with agencies or overseas employers? What did it usually mean in your case?
