5 Advice For Filipino Workers Abroad





"I want to work abroad. How can I do it? "

This is often the question of my fellow-Filipinos.

Fresh graduates, longtime employees, or professionals, sometimes they all thought of working abroad. Even though their reasons are different, the main push for them to work abroad is the usual pursuit of greater salaries, better opportunities, or higher quality of life.

All of these jobs will be provided abroad, but you must first consider the benefits or harms of this serious decision. Aside from salary, there are other factors to consider, and they are not always clearly stated in your job offer or in guidebooks.

As a person who has built a digital marketing company far from my home country, I have learned how to work abroad. Here are some of the questions you need to ponder, as well as the things you need to think carefully before you buy a one-way ticket to your dream job abroad.





1. You play your own country-based causes.

It is cultivated in the minds of many Filipinos that working abroad is a wonderful opportunity. But do you consider why it matters to you personally?

Maybe you're upset with traffic, you're dreaming of a faster ride to work. But instead of thinking about moving abroad, your boss might have to ask about the possibility of working from home. Or you may want to try life-freelancer, and you are conscious, in the end you might earn enough money to become your own boss.

Do you want bigger wages? Look for other jobs. Think about your everyday expenses. Look for first-hand jobs in the Philippines, and maybe even find a job that suits you no matter where you need to go abroad.

Do you need a new experience? Try to ask for a long leave. Take a vacation and travel outside of town.

Regardless of the reason for your departure, do so because you will definitely be able to do it better: Perhaps moving abroad is a way to extend your network. It's a very nice salary you can get and you can not reject it. It may be an extraordinary chance to get a skill or training you can not get anywhere else. Think about what you will lose when you are abroad, such as leaving your family or family, or adapting your own culture.

Before you find jobs in other countries, you will have to take all your options. It is a big test and decision to move your life to a foreign country, and if you know your "why" in a foreign country, you will be more courageous at times when you are struggling with your new job abroad.

2. Study your expenses.

Millions of dollars are your income abroad, but you probably spend a lot on your daily expenses while you're there. Include cost-of-living expenses, or living expenses, when you calculate your take-home pay, and maybe even taxes on a large portion of your salary.

Australia is the only example, where the tax rate starts at 32.5% and reaches 47% as well as non-residents of the country. In Singapore, car owners pay tariffs such as 31% import duty for car prices, registration fees, road tax, and they increase each year after 10 years of ownership Of your car.

If you can do so, first visit the country where you live and feel how to live there. You will also be able to estimate how much your daily expenses are spent and that will also help you estimate the wages you can earn to reflect on how well you can live in that country.

If your daily expenses are the same or lower than you are today, you should study how you can benefit from this experience other than the higher payout. Examples are more opportunities for more experienced training, or experts who can be your mentors, or other opportunities in the future.




3. Early on, fix your papers.

One of the key parts of working abroad is the arrangement of the papers. Make sure all the usual travel documents are ready - and make sure they are updated: make sure your passport, your CV, and personal documents, such as birth certificates, school transcripts or records, have not expired Medical records, NBI clearance, IDs, diplomas, and more.

Get ready for travelers' requests by joining POEAs free pre-employment orientations. Before you begin to seek employment abroad, whether you are directly offered or by agencies, prepare all these papers so you do not rush when you need them.

In order to find a job abroad, read all the documents you can get, up to the smallest contractual articles. Ask, and try to find out everything you can to know about the job you are entering.

Who will pay rent? What kind of visa is needed? How long can you stay in the country you are visiting as a visiting employee? When you have family members who rely on you, can they also be provided with working visas? Can you get tax breaks or government privileges even if you are foreign?

Once you've got the job offer, make sure you put all your paperwork on it, and sign and notify all of them. Your employment must be clear to you because the country expels you to work.
