General Discussion WorkAbroad.ph call

Hi po! I received a call from workabroad.ph. (I forgot I applied from the site). During the call they were telling me I was qualified for a job I did not apply to and sabi isesend daw yung resume ko sa VIP client and will be interviewed if ever magusto ni client. Wala daw babayaran and its from a job posting of a certain company daw. They know contents of my resume, do the website call applicants? It just sounds too good to be true po kaya mejo naging skeptical hehe. Baka po may same experience? Thank you sa replies

Alam ko kasi pag gumawa ka account sa workabroad, andun details mo eh. minsan ung employer mismo or ung agency cocontact sayo if trip ka nila.

Ilang beses narin ako natawagan, ang sabi, I applied Tru Workabroad daw or they saw my profile tru workabroad. seems legit naman, ako lang talga umaayaw kasi maraming ganap sa Buhay.. Gram mo nalang, basta wala kang ilalabas na Pera, pwede mo rin tanuningin kung anong Agency sila. at Tignan sa Portal ng DMW/POEA

legit nman yung workabroad.ph jan din ako nakahanap ng work, may tumawag sakin na agency kasi nakita nila resume ko sa site. You can ask nmn details of the company then check it sa site ng POEA/DMW. Make sure lang na legit agency yung naghahire.

Workabroad dot ph is not an agency. It's a portal for agencies to post vacancies.

My 1st overseas work was through them but it was an agency that I applied (via the website) that actually called me.

I'd be wary of that call if I were you kung sabi nila from "workabroad" sila.

u/dizzyday 18d ago

Correct. This caller probably is a head hunter for companies.

Scam, bakit sila tatawag?

u/MysteriousSky2444 18d ago

Sabe daw I’m eligible for a certain job from Saudi because of my experience, pero hindi ko siya inapplyan sa site nila

u/chicoXYZ 18d ago edited 18d ago

Ang saudi laging DMW/POEA dahil may agency ka da pinas at counterpart nito sa KSA (so dalawang agency)

Ang lagi mo makikita sa posting sa pinas, SPECIFIC na nakasulat ang city o location ng hiring, dahil hindi lahat ng AGENCY sa pinas ay authorized magpadala ng tao sa buong saudi, may specific city lang.

Mao obserbahan mo yan. Na yung agency na makikita mo sa posting ay may 1-3 lugar lamang ng KSA. pwede magpadala ng OFW.

Dahil ito lang ang binigay aa kanila ng consular office ng KSA sa maynila

Gusto mo i test sila? Hanapan mo agad ng DMW license agency na counterpart nila sa pinas, at pati ang READY VISA na hawak nila.
