Data Entry Jobs in the Philippines

Trabaho, or Trabaho.com, is one of the newer players in the job site industry. Browsing through it, there are already some posts by reputable local companies. At the same time, the site seems to have a wealth of resources for job seekers and employers. However, Trabaho.com fails in many places, especially when it comes to listings for data entry jobs and others.

First of all, the site is quite disorganized. Links don’t always go where logically one would expect them too. Likewise, there is consistent pressure to log in or create an account even when the user typically has a hard time getting to a complete list of available jobs. A search by industry is available, but after several tries that came with zero results, one would wonder if the search facility works or if there are posts to actually search through.

The only semblance to a job listing on the site is the list of “Hot Jobs” on the home page. This list contains about 30companies. One would have to go through each one to check if there are data entry opportunities. Apart from this, there seems to be no comprehensive database of jobs to browse through.

The expanse of opportunities within Trabaho.com is a bit questionable. How much so if one’s looking for lucrative data entry jobs. Apart from a site that’s difficult to search through, one may wonder if there really is enough of a site to search through. There are definitely bigger sites with better options for finding data entry jobs

At the same time, the localness of Trabaho.com, while in essence is a good thing, adds to the disadvantage. Postings are limited to local companies that are looking for regular employees. So far, there seems to be no offshore opportunities, nor are there any home-based jobs posted.

PinoyExchange, or PinoyExchange.com, is one of the leading forum sites in the Philippines. It has a hodgepodge of topics, ranging from sports to humanities, entertainment, and, of course, jobs. For an employer to post jobs, one just has to signup for an account and post. This account applies to all the categories and sub-categories within the site. Jobseekers don’t necessarily need to have an account, unless they want to post a reply. Forum posts are open for everyone to read.

This hodgepodge setup is one of the main disadvantages of PinoyExchange when it comes to looking for data entry jobs. While the forum presents a venue for everyone and every topic under the sun, this isn’t really all that good for someone who is just searching for data entry jobs. In fact, it can be somewhat of a distraction. Imagine having to plough though several topics and sub-topics just to look for a job, a very specific job, at that. At the same time, a person who’s unfamiliar with the forum format may have a hard time navigating the website. Forums, while convenient as venues for about almost anything, will definitely confuse the uninitiated.

Another disadvantage with PinoyExchange as a venue for data entry job searches is that anyone can post and claim to be this and that person, from this and that company. There are no means to confirm the legitimacy of each post. Unlike formal jobs sites where company representatives often discuss the terms with job site representatives and where there is normally an exchange of information on contact details, there is no similar system for sites like PinoyExchange. It is practically a free-for-all, and jobseekers respond at their own risks. One would definitely do better by looking for data entry jobs in a site dedicated to data entry jobs.

Jobstreet is one of Asia’s biggest job search sites, and many people turn to it when looking for jobs or fishing for better opportunities. However, it might not be the best alternative for those looking for data entry work.

While the site contains several listings of data entry jobs, most of these are office-based regular jobs, where an employee is paid a fixed amount, regardless of the workload. If one really needs to find stable work, then this is all right as it is. However, with the many opportunities out there for data entry workers to earn without limits, Jobstreet.com may just be selling the applicant short.

One of the major disadvantages of Jobstreet.com is that the bulk of the job postings here are for regular work. Per project or temporary work is hard to find, even when there are a couple of these in its database. With Jobstreet.com, it is actually more reliable to search according to specialization. At least in this category, one is more likely to find jobs that suit data entry workers. The downside is that most are attached to companies that want regular employees.

At the same time, another disadvantage at Jobstreet.com is the limitations it imposes on results. One is not likely to find more lucrative international data entry opportunities listed in one’s Jobstreet country site, unless the employer specified to list for that country – and this seldom happens. This is actually quite contrary to the global trend in outsourcing, particularly for data entry jobs. There are several offshore opportunities out there, and it is odd that Jobstreet.com hardly has any of these. A user will be better off searching elsewhere.

Last, being one of the largest job sites in Asia can also be a disadvantage for Jobstreet. With so many items in its database, it will take hours for the user to sift through and find one that suits him or her.

JobsDB.com is one of the leading job search sites in Asia. Although it is not as big as its peers like Jobstreet, it still has a large enough number of employers and database of employment opportunities. But then again, this features still does not give them an edge when it comes to data entry jobs.

In fact, JobsDB.com may not be the best place to search for data entry jobs. While the site has a sizable listing of available work, as well as a facility to narrow down work search according to specialization, most of the listings are those for regular jobs. Regular jobs are good, as is. The downside of regular jobs for data entry workers, however, is that these pay the same wage regardless of the bulk of work one does. The reality for data entry workers is that there are opportunities out there where they can take on several projects and get paid for these accordingly. With the current trends in outsourcing, a data entry worker can get paid per job accepted. Earning opportunities are thus unlimited.

Likewise, with JobsDB.com, one is limited to job postings in the home country. Crossing over to the other member countries is often not encouraged. A user can only try to qualify for overseas job posts if these are posted within the home country. This limitation may not be the best deal for the user, especially if he or she is qualified for more lucrative offshore data entry work.

Lastly, JobsDB.com’s size may actually be of a disadvantage. With its many available postings daily, suitable listings may have been piled over by non-data entry posts. Unless the user searches for jobs every day (which is not likely), it requires time to go through the search results and find one or two interesting posts. Because of this, it may be better to look for work in a site that’s dedicated to data entry jobs.

Bestjobs.ph is a relatively new player when it comes to local jobs sites. However, it already has a sizable employer base, which is pretty impressive. Several users come to the site daily to check postings. There are, on average, ten new postings daily per category.

The site organizes jobs according to category and location. This is where bestjobs.ph first disadvantage comes, in terms of data entry jobs. The categories are somewhat vague. For example, it has a listing for Arts, Design, and Media. Inside this category, one finds a long list of unorganized job postings, with jobs anywhere from interior design, fashion, writing, web design, and more. This sort of mishmash of job posts is also apparent in the other categories.

Besides, in this sea of job categories, where will data entry jobs fall? In terms of specialization, data entry work varies. Some of these data entry jobs may be more technical that others – so they can fall under the Computers and Telecommunication category; while others are more clerical so they should logically fall under the Clerical and Administrative category. In any case, bestjobs.ph is a mess of a site, and it takes time and to look through it for suitable data entry jobs.

Likewise, the locality of bestjobs.ph may not be all that great for one who’s looking for data entry jobs. The local feel of bestjobs.ph is actually one of the best things about the site. However, data entry workers do not benefit much from this. In fact, it limits possibilities for them as user search is kept within posts for the Philippines. One can only hope for offshore posts, which is seldom seen from this site. There are tons of offshore prospects in data entry. Someone in this field should not be limited to the slim pickings found in bestjobs.ph. One will be better off looking elsewhere.

Home-based jobs, such as data entry jobs, can sometimes seem like a walk in the park. Who on earth would not enjoy being able to work from home, in your underwear, even? Who wouldn’t want to be free from dealing with traffic, pollution, and the rising cost of gasoline? Plus, the home has loved ones around – what couldn’t be more fun than that, right?

The real nature of home-based jobs

In reality, working at home can be as stressful as working in an office. The workload in home-based jobs like data entry jobs is the same, as well as the deadlines. If this combination is bound to make you sweat in an office, it will do the same if done at home. The home adds the additional pressure of not being in a formal work environment. When at the office, you can give the project your full attention. At home, other factors are bound to fight for your time. Children may insist on some playtime; or perhaps some chores need to be done. In any case, it is harder to concentrate on work at home. This doubles the pressure when deadline nears.

Another source of pressure with home-based jobs like data entry jobs is the seeming need to establish yourself as a reliable home-based worker. At home, you don’t have access to bosses and colleagues, unlike if you were based in an office. Being around them can give you a sense of “belongingness” – you are easily entrenched as a cog that makes the whole corporate setup work. All you need to worry about is coming up with regular quality work. Being based at home does not give you this security. You are constantly on your toes, trying to prove yourself. This added pressure, though it gives you that extra drive to excel, can induce sleepless (and working) nights as well.
