jobs for south korea

south korea alloted 14,000 from the philippines out of 72,000 needed workers. the program is under the south korea's employment permit system (eps), which implements proper recruiting of foriegn workers who wish to work in korea. you can click the link above to view more details about the program.

as far as i know, this new allotment is for a second batch. the first batch are scheduled last year in august or september. and i was part of hundreds of thousands who wish to be part of the first batch.

according to poea, the 14,000 jobs are categorize into three: factory workers (10,000), construction workers (3,000) and agricultural workers (1,000) and stock breeding.

the selection of applicants under the new quota will be based on age, relevant work experience, education and training, and the poverty level of the applicant’s home province. those who qualify will be required to submit medical and psychological test results, copies of their passports or birth certificates, and nbi clearance.

and for those who want to be part of the list in this second batch must register online in the poea website, or you can click here to go directly to poea's online registration site.

those applicants in 2004 like me who did not qualify because poea set some priority on "voluntary leavers," those who left south korea voluntarily from september 2003 to february 2004 were automatically included in the list.

i was just amazed that my name is included in the list already, that's what i found out when i was start to register. i commended poea for this great effort they extend.

for those who already applied last year, 2004, you can edit, add, correct data in your online resume.

and lastly, beware of any private company or individual that recruit, register and train applicants. poea and south korea's ministry of labor does not authorize anyone to do such activities.
