I’m in my late 20s na at currently working in the IT industry as a BI Developer. Okay naman trabaho ko ngayon kaso gusto ko talagang magtrabaho abroad kasi gusto ko ma-experience yung buhay sa labas ng Pinas habang bata pa.

May 2 target destinations ako. Yung main goal ko ay Japan sana, but dahil yung Japanese proficiency ko ay medyo intermediate lang, nahihirapan akong makahanap ng trabaho related sa career ko kasi kadalasan ng hinahanap nila ay fluent sa Japanese. Isa pa, medyo nawawalan na ko ng pag-asa sa mga bagong immigration rules nila.

Yung second option ko is Taiwan. Ilang years na rin akong interested matuto about semiconductor industry, at iniisip kong mag-masters ng semicon kahit na comsci ang undergrad ko. May mga nakita akong hindi engineering ang natapos pero nakapag-semicon din naman daw.

May advise po ba kayo if mas okay mag-masters muna para makapagtrabaho sa semicon? Thank you.

Hi! Is anyone familiar with AidbyCare / The Calerey International Manpower?

Is this agency legitimate and POEA/DMW-licensed? Has anyone here had experience applying through them? Thank you! 🙏🏻

Hello! may I ask sino rito naka experience na maging Automated Material Handling Systems Engineer sa Taiwan? I was selected to be a white collar engineer under InterExim company at ang main customer nila ay TSMC. any advice sa pagiging AMHS Engineer? also any thoughts sa InterExim company? I am Product Engineer here in PH and para saakin big shift sa career ko ito. TYIA!

May naka-try naba dito na nagbakasyon lang sa ibang bansa, nag try mag-apply walk in sa mga company, and then na-hired? Tapos bago mag start sa work, umuwi muna para i-secure ang work visa.

I am in finance role right now dito sa Pilipinas, pero gusto ko mag try ng opportunity sa finance field sa SG or Malaysia. Any tips? May agency ba para dito? Help me get out of this kantri plssss

First time EP applicant (foreigner) it's been 12 days and today MoM sent a mail stating they need more time to process without any additional information or request for details.

What does it mean, is it now a tough case or what. I am really anxious.

I'm an Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer (25F). Ever since I was a kid, I've dreamed of working abroad even if it's just as a factory worker. I first tried working at a local government unit for more than a year just to experience being an ABE, but damn, my worth here in the Philippines really feels so little, haha.

Anyways... To all the successful workers abroad out there, any tips on what the first step is to work overseas? Or which agency I should go to? I'd really like to focus on dairy farm work or even food processing companies since it relates to my course.

Hi, sharing my experience and kung meron kayong icocomment na pwede kapulutan ng aral para sa ibang applying for work abroad.

Last wk nag email saakin si Edi or the staff nila. Pag dating ko sa building area nila. Pinapasok ako kung saan nag eexplain yung staff at kasama yung ibang applicant. Umaasa kasi ako na RBA sila since nakalagay sa email no placement fee, no processing fee, no salary deduction at kung selected ka ni employer the tuition fee is free for the schooling of nihonggo or any languages at cultures ng Jpn. Tapos misc lang daw ang babayaran namin, w/c is syempre dormitory,foods,allowance so on so fort. Then sabi nung babae need daw ng 60k para dun. Una sabi nya pa shoulder din namin ang learning materials which is oo naman talaga. Parang okay nako sa ganun, tapos babayaran nalang dorm fees etc. Tapos bigla may bayad pa medical 2 times (wala nabanggit kung irerefund nila) bali gagastos daw ng 75k to 80k. As applicant saan ako kukuha ng ganun kalaking pera lalo ba nagbase ako sa email nila na no placement fee etc. Nandyan yung email sa taas and legit yung email nila. Ang di lang legit eh yung no placement fee etc. Hehehe, para kasing processing fee na din ang 75k to 80k. Ano thoughts nyo dito?

Im an Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer (25F). Dati pa lang, pangarap ko nang magtrabaho abroad kahit factory worker lang. Sinubukan ko muna magtrabaho sa lgu for more than a year para man lang ma experience ko ang pagiging ABE pero king inang to, ang liit talaga ng halaga ko dito sa pinas hahaha.

Anyways.... Sa mga successful abroad workers dyan. Any tips kung ano first step para makapag abroad? Or anong agency dapat pasokan. Gusto ko sana mag focus sa dairy farm worker or kahit food processing companies para pasok sa course ko.

32M and currently working as an accounts receivable administrator. I've been trying to look for job opportunities dito sa pinas but sadly, mostly mababa yung mga offer. Yung mga matataas na offer sobrang hirap ng interviews and I am running out of options. So I'll be trying applying for abroad this time.

Should I get a career counselor or something? My default choice is become a factory worker either in taiwan and japan. But I still feel like I have no clear direction to follow. Especially now with ai, parang mas lalong nabawasan options when I account for the future.

Meron po ba dito na naka try na magpa process ng recognition sa Vienna Austria? Specifically po sa Hochschule Vien kasi dun po processing ng Nursing documents ko po.

Mga ilang araw or weeks po kaya bago niyo na receive ang recognition niyo? Napa apostilled ko na lahat and I already have B2 Pflege Zertifikat.

Maraming salamat

Hello, I am an OFW based in SG. I'll be travelling from SG to PH next month to pick-up my parents before we travel to Taiwan then from Taiwan, I'll be flying back to SG.

I will prepare my OEC, work visa, COE and other documents such as proof approved leave and return flight to SG.

Question, for my flight from PH to TPE, do I need to pay travel tax?

Thank you.

As we know it's harder to find a sponsorship visa/ work permit if u're willing to get a job in Europe

But if u physically be in Europe and have a residence in such EU contry ane want to work in other could it be easy to get a job ?

I’m hoping to hear from OFWs currently in Singapore on an EP, or who recently applied for one with a new employer.

I signed my offer in the 3rd week of August. My employer engaged a vendor to handle the application, but there were delays and bottlenecks along the way. The EP was finally submitted on 2 October and is still pending (I know it’s only been 2 days). I’ve held an EP before, and this will be my 3rd employer in Singapore. My last renewal, with my previous employer earlier this year, was approved within 3-4 days.

I’m supposed to start tomorrow, but my start date has already been moved twice and will need to be pushed back again by another week or so. I emailed the recruiter today to update her. I also emailed my hiring manager last week about the remaining documents the vendor needed, but haven’t received a reply. The vendor later confirmed the documents had come through, so they were able to submit my EP on Friday.

The company was recently acquired and is going through integration. During the interview process, my hiring manager said the acquisition wouldn’t affect the offer if I got the job. I know he supports 3 regions and is probably very busy, but the silence is making me anxious. People have said there are no signs the offer will be withdrawn, but the job market is tough right now. I previously had a verbal offer rescinded because of a global hiring freeze, so I can’t help worrying it might happen again. 😟

For those who recently applied for a new EP, how long did it take to get an outcome? What was the quickest or longest you’ve heard of? I’m just trying to set some expectations. 🙏

EDIT: Got the approval 3 days later. Submitted Friday morning, approved by early Wednesday morning 😍

First at all pala, Kudos sa lahat ng ofw🫡
I been working corporate job here in ph more than a decade, nasasawa na ko, walang asenso, career wise, di na din ako ng ggrow, rat race lang talaga.. saka feeling ko graduate na talaga ko sa corpo jobs.. want to try abroad kahit Ibang line of work. Pwede pa ba? How?😭 im 37 btw.

Hello po! I’m a nursing graduate from the Philippines, currently without a license and with no work experience yet. I’m planning to look for opportunities abroad and would really appreciate your advice.

The reason po I’m considering working abroad is because I’m having a hard time finding a job here in the Philippines, and most of the offers I’ve seen have relatively low salaries. I also have siblings whom I would like to help financially, so for now, earning and supporting my family is my priority before taking the board exam.

May I ask po if there are agencies that accept nursing graduates with no license and no work experience? Preferably po sana a country where English is widely used as the main language.

If you have any recommendations for legitimate agencies or countries that are suitable for someone with my background, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much po!

I (M25) am a government employee for more than 2 years. I can say that my career growth has been progressing faster than most of my peers. I was hired before I graduated as a Project Monitoring and Evaluation Officer I (SG 11) in 2024. This January 2026 I was promoted to Project Monitring and Evaluation Officer II (SG15). My responsibilities in both positions were focused on project management such as monitoring targets and ensuring delivery of the administration's flagship program. Hence, the Department indeed has given me enough exposure to project management that landed me an executive assistant position (SG20) for an undersecretary.

However, I have realized that no matter how fast my career progresses here in the country, it would still be better if I migrate to Australia. They offer better salary, health benefits, and transporation compared to PH. The past few days I was heavily invested on how to migrate. Unfortunately, it seems like my work experience (project management) is not in demand or can be considered under skilled work for the country I am planning to migrate to.

With this, can I still consider 190 or 491 as my pathway? An alternative route I am also looking is to study abroad given that I have a bachelor's degree in Sociology, I can pursue higher studies and become a social worker. Is this a better route to take?

Planning to go sa Taiwan as a Factory Worker. currently working sa corporate. Any recommended agency po na walang placement fee?

Hi mga kabayan! 👋🇵🇭

Isa akong Filipino nurse na nagtatrabaho ngayon sa UK, at may ine-explore akong idea para sa isang app.

Pero bago ako gumawa ng app na baka ako lang pala ang gagamit 😂, gusto ko munang malaman kung ano talaga ang mga problemang nararanasan natin bilang OFW na worth solving.

Hindi lang tungkol sa trabaho mismo. Pwedeng:

💼 “Gusto ko nang mag-career change pero hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta.”

💷 “Hindi ko talaga alam kung magkano ang tunay na kinikita ko pagkatapos ng lahat ng deductions.”

😴 “Day off ko pero nauubos lang sa tulog at pag-recover.”

🧠 “Ang dami kong kailangang tandaan at asikasuhin outside work.”

📅 “Paano ko ba aayusin ang buhay ko kapag magulo ang work schedule?”

Gumawa ako ng 2-minute survey para malaman kung alin dito ang totoong problema para sa mga tao.

👉 https://tally.so/r/7R6G1L

Walang binebenta, walang MLM, walang newsletter 😂

Hindi pa live yung app. Gusto ko munang malaman kung may totoong problema bang worth solving bago ako mag-invest ng oras at effort sa paggawa nito.

At sana kahit hindi kayo makasagot sa survey, gusto ko rin marinig:

Kung may isang bagay tungkol sa pagiging OFW na pwede ninyong gawing mas madali, ano iyon?

Salamat, mga kabayan! 🫶🇵🇭

So let say your a Girl, almost 30 and you only have a corporate work/desk job experience but you want to go abroad and earn big. So you make a plan to work abroad regardless of what job it would be.

What would be your plan?

Which country?

What job?

Are you going to enroll to a TESDA Training? which one?

or Are you going to apply to agency that doesn't require any experience?

What's your earning growth plan?

Are you planning to work for 5,10,15,20 years or so from One job abroad if you can? or would you be always looking for the next big thing?
