Competition is getting higher so employers are putting additional qualifications into the job descriptions for them to compete. With employers adding more qualifications, graduates\u2019 credentials will be scrutinized longer. This additional layer in the procedure could mean additional training which entails further cost and perseverance for the applicant. While those who fall through the cracks will become unemployed or underemployed,\u201d said TUCP spokesperson Alan Tanjusay.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_S_Korea_increase_quota_of_OFWs_to_6800_in_2016-Baldoz\"><\/span>2.\u00a0S.
