OFW Job Search

Sunday, April 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

Because of under employment, unemployment, job scarcity and economic crisis here in the Philippines many Filipinos are aspiring to work abroad for greener pasture. The first step, to that OFW goal is – JOB SEARCH.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

Philippine Overseas Employment Administration’s (POEA) – you may check their website for job postings (http://www.poea.gov.ph) . Likewise, you can also check list of accredited agencies including approved job order. POEA approved job orders from POEA accredited are definitely legit. Also check POEA’s own government placement which are usually posted in their bulleting board.

INTERNET – it is a vast source of job search information. With the advent of the new technology, local legit recruitment agencies are using the Internet for their job posting. But applicants should be watchful and wary since many scrupulous and illegal recruiters are also using the Internet for helpless victims.

Below are some local Internet sources for job search:

- Work Abroad (Philippines) is an overseas job portal for Filipino jobseekers, top companies abroad and some local recruitment agencies advertise job openings on websites.

- JobStreet.com offers a comprehensive suite of interactive recruitment services. International and local Asian corporations recruit from JobStreet.com's ever-increasing pool of top talent and manage their recruitment process through uniquely developed software applications via the Internet.

- Other sites: JosDB.com, Monster.com


NEWSPAPER ADS – not all market are tapped by the Internet, still the good old print media do wonders.

Below are some sources of newspaper job posting for your reference:

- The Manila Bulletin
- The Philippine Daily Inquirer
- The Philippine Star
- People’s Tonight
- Tempo


Referrals - Job opening and information coming from friends and family members. These vacancies may not necessarily be listed in POEA job order. This is what you called direct employer.
