Starbucks is an excellent place to work. They offer full benefits packages to even part-time employees. Furthermore, they offer tuition assistance for college students! I would go for it.

Yes, actually you do! I successfully completed the Serv-Safe program at Penn State last year and making coffee anywhere that the public will consume it requires that you are a certified food handler. Reasons being to protect the consumer and the Employer, so if you are not certified then you can tell your boss to make it him or her self, and that's a fact!

I am pretty positive that you can apply for dual citizenship (with Philippine passport) or a balikbayan status which allows you to stay in the country for a year hassle-free because of your Filipino parentage. My brother in law has that (he's white) for the simple association of being married to a Filipina. Meanwhile if you want to work you could either:\n\na. look for an Expatriate job there which would assign you here\n\nb. push for recognition as a dual citizen\n\nor \nc. just go here and look for possible employment as an Alien\n\nGood luck man, its really a blast living here, i dont blame you. :)\n\n***\nto Well, \n\ni didnt say it was automatic, i said i was pretty positive that he could apply for it because of his parentage.

Starbucks gives you the living-room you don't have at home. They sell "ambiance" plus flavor plus variety.\n\nTheir coffee isn't inexpensive, so what I'm saying is that a low price for your products isn't always the answer to sell more.\n\nDo you have nice coffee cups or do you just sell coffee in the disposable cups? People drink coffe more pleasantly with nice coffee cups or mugs.\n\nI don´t know the market you are serving. Where is the mall located? In what part of town? Who is the typical customer of your products?\n\nWhat do they drink with their coffee?\n\nAnd we could go on and on with other questions.\n\nTry to get an answer for stuff related to the traditional for "P's" of marketing: price, product, place, promotion.

Risking having this looking like spam.....\n\nA friend of mine is a co-founder of the website below. (For privacy concerns, I won't mention his name.) Give that site a look and perhaps his company can help you. He has traveled extensively throughout the world (and often in the Philippines) and his company can probably give you a lead on a job, if nothing else.\n\n(But if you happen to talk to or have contact with my friend, just tell him "Wheezer" sent you - he knows me by that nickname. Good luck!)

I work for St. Ives Coffee Roasters, a local roaster in Gainesville, Georgia. I don't know the answer to your question, but the owner of the company is very nice and really loves to help out young people who are interested in business. Just beware because he knows everything and loves to talk! I wouldn't doubt if he would be willing to discuss this with you. You can either log onto the website (attached) or call 1-800-SOS-JAVA. Just send me an e-mail and I will give you his name if you like. Good luck!

I just read an article in the Tradewinds magazine about how Asian women, from former CEO's to housewives, were the biggest money earners in our international company. The next trillion dollar industry is the health/wellness industry. So you would want to get with a firmly established, debt free company that is doing business in over 70 countries, has over 40 physical offices, 7 cafes, ranked the 4th fastest growing company of any kind in its first 6 years, and has an unduplicatble product being called the next coca-cola, allow them to take the financial risks and you get the rewards by payouts of 53 cents on every dollar. That's what I did and the income with no experience has surpassed my professional income with a master's. I know you are a single mother like I am, and this was definately the right company, with the right product, and it came into my life at the right time. With your comedic and outgoing personality, you may want to take a serious look at this company (www.TNI.com/1934177) and (www.TNCafe.com). Good luck to you. While you're researching, you can listen to a toll free, pre-recorded msg about our company at 800-242-0363, pin 4055. Contact me if you want more information.

Ummm....not REALLY sure what you're asking, but I do know that 1.) Starbucks does not franchise, expect in rare cases like at airports.\n2.) Starbucks will look for "new markets" in highly profitable areas (ie rich neighboorhoods, will usually not open stores in poor retail areas). They will look for high-traffic areas, and areas where other coffee shops do well.

Ala-eh magandang umaga!  I'm an American...have many Filipinos working for me aboard my ship...some are from Batangas...Batangueños are hard-working, smart, and funny, just like all Filipinos (and Filipinas).  Would love to go there some day.

Fly to Mackay or any mine town in Queensland or the rest of Australia and go to the local pub when you get there.  Ask a few of the locals or even the bartender,  you will get a job within a day,  they are screaming for people to work at the moment.  Good luck its hard yakka  ")
