Filipino’s are known for being a hardworking individual. They tend to bring out the best in everything that they do to fulfill the job gracefully. They often do this for their self, as a preparation for their future or for their family’s well-being. Given this instance, working abroad would be one of the biggest opportunity a modern Filipino worker can have. Aside from a higher scale of income, they can have different legal perks depending on the country they are in. Here are some of those countries:

Germany

This country is one of the best in terms of career. This is the best country for skill oriented people as various companies here are constantly looking for professionals. In fact they have a skill assessment before one can apply for a work visa. The only dilemma of most Filipino OFWs here is the language barrier which hinders their communication a bit however, some still use English as their base language. They also has an online onboarding programs which eases OFWs job seeking worries.

Australia

This country is not new to OFWs. This is like the most common target of Filipino jobseekers since it has a less strict compliance with regards to requirements and to add, Australia has a lot of related business organizations with the Philippines which usually helps Australian companies connect to more Filipino workers.

Cambodia

It is one of the uncommon countries a modern Filipino worker could think of. Aside from the fact that it is not much heard, it hasn’t got that much credentials for Filipino’s to start venturing in to. But to break this stigma, Cambodia is best for remote works plus, the cost of living is very low!

South Korea

With the booming sound of the K-Culture, Filipino’s most probably have known South Korea for what they offer in the music industry but, hiding behind these are a lot of business opportunities as well. Some companies still lack manpower so they tend to offshore people or look for more workers for the production field.

English is the highly sought language in this country, they won’t hesitate to pay lump sum for an English tutor. Lucky for us Filipinos, English is our second language so it would be beneficial for both parties.

New Zealand

This country has the best and growing community not just for OFWs but to all the workers in general. The life here is wonderful and most companies offer better job opportunities for all. Aside from not having a language barrier, English being their native language, Filipinos can freely roam and mingle with others with ease.

Common job openings here are mostly agricultural work. They are also looking for industrial works and healthcare which are the qualities most Filipino OFWs have!
