OFWGuide.com

This website is a Filipino site for OFW and for Filipinos interested in working overseas. On this website workers can search on how to obtain a job and get all the proper paperwork, find a job, see what are scams, and advice about living and working in another country.

One of the items that I wanted to focus on my blog is the abuse of Filipina women. I learned that many were physically, emotionally and a sexually abused by their employers. Some employers would even hold on to passports and legal documents so that employees cannot leave the country.

A feature on the website is a Scams portion. In this area, it would post potential job scams around the world. It even gives advice on how to look for jobs and seek out potential scammers. One of the scams that it talks about is one in Veitnam where someone is out to get people’s money.

Another important feature is a job search engine. There are jobs in many different disciplines, from education to medicine to domestic work. Two popular jobs that I have heard about are domestic workers and nurses. These jobs have been labeled as a feminine job so many women would go overseas in to work in those fields.
One other good feature is the Laws and Visas. In this portion of the website, employees can look up information regarding laws in different countries about immigration, obtaining different forms required to work, and even the views on immigration of politicians. Articles also give updates on upcoming laws that will affect incoming workings.

There is a lot of information on this website for employers. With hundreds of articles, this website should be helpful when it comes to looking at potential new jobs.
