Work Abroad Without A Cost: Job Openings With No Placement Fee
Mar 15, 2010
There is this notion among Filipinos that if you want to work abroad, you have to prepare a great sum of money so you can pay for your placement fee. It is true to some extent because the Philippine government allows recruitment agencies to charge applicants with placement and processing fees. However the placement fee should only be equivalent to the workers' one month salary. An applicant will only be asked to pay a fee if he or she has been interviewed by the employer, been hired and already signed an employment contract.
Applicants are reminded to demand an official receipt from the agency after paying the placement fee because it is a proof that you have given money to the agency. And after giving payment, you can expect to fly out of the country and start working within three months.
Still the placement fee should not be the jobseekers' main concern in the application process because there are a lot of agencies that send Filipino workers abroad without asking for a placement fee. There are also foreign countries that require its citizens to shoulder the placement fee of foreign workers that they intend to hire.
