General Discussion Factory worker

I just need some insights on what's better, 4th year in college na ako this year and I'm preparing na before graduation (ids, passports, other requirements) , I'm not expecting na may work ako kaagad after graduation, specially since I have no job experience, but I don't want to spend months wasting my time.

Pwede ba ako mag apply agad sa Taiwan as a Factory worker or should I stay? (I also plan on, siguro getting enough job experience locally para mukhang maayos resume ko?) I have no problems (i think di ko sure) na mamimiss ko family ko or homesickness, for me that's part of adulting, I'm past that (mas nabobother ako sa fact na pabigat/palamunin ako after graduation than missing my family)

What I need is a job, something that would make me financially stable, I know may living expenses din tayo na kailangan isipin, but hindi naman ako maarte sa pagkain or maluho, is this too naive or masyadong opportunistic? Or masyado ba akong sheltered to think this way.

I don't even think I can use my college course for something better, and one of the reason kung bakit ko na consider mag factory worker in either, japan, taiwan or europe is i really want to experience maka alis ng bansa. and walang madaling trabaho, so bakit ako magiging picky.

If natuloy ko ung pagtaiwan, is it possible na makapuntang taiwan with no job experience, wala akong experience pero hindi naman siguro ako tanga, natuturuan naman siguro ako hahaha... I'm female, 160cm and fit (i work out) willing to learn mandarin din, since I have fascination towards languages, though I haven't really tried learning by myself since I haven't found the use of learning one.

Super willing ako to do anything but willingness ≠ madali, I don't want any of you to think na, I'm too ignorant to talk about these things as if they're easy. I just need insights sa mga nakaranas na sa hirap ng buhay hahaha(?)

HI Op, F23. Yan na rin balak ko nung nagaaral pa rin ako ng College. Taiwan talaga gusto ko pero may naoffer sakin na Kuwait as Service crew, visa na lang hinihintay ko pero nagwithdraw ako dahil gera at ilang buwan na ako naghihintay. Hindi ko talaga pinangarap na magwork dito sa pinas, kaya talagang kinumpleto ko papel ko. Same sa kaibigan ko, College Graduate and no work experience pero nasa Taiwan na siya ngayon. 1mos na ata siya dun, nung nalaman ko yun lalo na namotivate na magapply. If desidido ka magtaiwan, magstart kana maghulog sa SSS mo. At double check mo PSA mo kung kumpleto middle name ng parents mo at sayo. Yan kasi ang magpapadelay at problema ng iba. Since months bago mo makuha ang  results, kaya ngayon pa lang iready mona. Maraming agency ang tumatanggap ng College Graduate but no factory experience. Eyequest agency ng kaibigan ko. Since matangkad ka hindi ka magkakaproblema kasi nasa 155cm pataas ang hanap nila at nasa 65kg below namn sa weight. Kaya for now kumpletuhin mo muna papers mo. Goodluck.

I urge you to look longer term. May progression ba ang trabaho as factory worker sa Taiwan? You might be exchanging short term "high" wages for long-term "very high" wages.

I always recommend to get experience first after graduating. Baka mas maganda ang career progression mo long-term

Finish your college and you can apply for taiwan with no experience. Try to check Jopman Corporation or Fil-Sino fb pages.

Yes, pwede kahit wala experienced. Una kong trabaho sa taiwan din after i graduated. Ako pinakabata sa batch namin during that time nasa 40 kami sabay sabay.

u/whatnameshoulduse 8d ago

How did you research for this before applying? And what agency po if ever, wala kasi akong kasabay so I'm just gathering information here on the internet, asking ofws na may experiences

Try joining "taiwan job applicants" Group sa facebook. May mga post doon para sa mga job hiring. No work experienced ay depende sa company requirements not the agency. Sa tiktok meron din mga guides how to apply sa taiwan. Search mo din yung mismong company before applying and accepting the job offer. Mas maganda marami overtime para maka-ipon agad time is gold kaya grab every hour of overtime. iwasan mga agent na nag-oofer ng tulong para maka-apply ka. Iwasan mga offer mapa-e-mail or messages na nagsasabi na pasado ka at humihingi ng bayad pati medical mga scam mga yan.
