Hi;

I also come up with same problem while I am looking for jobs in Philippines. You can google " US companies in Philippines" or " American jobs in Philippines". It may help you to find some job ads I guess. you can also send your cv directly to US companies who has branches in Philippines.

Good luck.

You will be horrified at the salary they pay.

Hello,

I have been looking companies in the US that have operations in Philippines. However, when I run searches in their career pages specifying Philippines, the jobs are for the people in PH. I am looking for some sort of position with travel opportunities to PH. Something in the BPO / Call Center. I know Accenture, Convergies, Teleperformance and Teletech so far.

Thank you !

It will be a steep and long term climb up the corporate ladder if you want to be paid with American salary and benefits in the Philippines. First, you'll have to be in the US and apply with an American company with operations in the Philippines. Once hired, you work your way up the corporate ladder to become qualified as an overseas operations manager or a similar high-level position. After that, you can then apply for that position when it becomes vacant in the Philippines.

One of the main reasons why foreign companies set up BPO's here is the lower local wage. American companies will not bring their entry and mid-level employees here only to pay them an American salary and living allowances, not to mention all the requirements for working here such as visas and clearances. If a local salary is acceptable to you, then there are many openings for call center agents here. But if you want a US salary here, you will have to work your way up at an American company in the US.

Are you guys crazy? Why do you think there are MILLIONS of Filipinos (OFW) working overseas? First of all, there are few good jobs in this country. Secondly, the pay is absolutely horrible. Filipinos do not like foreigners working in this country. It is not like Europe where foreign workers are common. You have to have a skill so specific that no one else in this country can take the job. My friend from the US works in a geo-thermal power plant. Guess how many Filipinos know that job?? But otherwise, forget it. Asia is not the best place to look for a job unless you are highly skilled, and why would a highly skilled worker come here for crummy wages when they can work in Europe for FIVE times as much?

the best thing for you to do is create your own job .if you want to travel around ,buy a decent camera and take photos of interest and then write about your photos ,filipinos are always taking pics everywhere ,and i do mean everywhere,mostly they pose with friends for selfies.but other people from around the world have and interest in these islands and there are many travel blogs to send in your pics ,and it's possible to make your pics extra special and send them to travel companies for a fee .

You obviously don’t understand why the men want to work there.

You obviously  don't realize this thread is silent more than 5 years.

For me it's more about the culture; there are several Asian countries, or even Hispanic countries where it would great to live.  My guess is that there will always be a few job openings where they are looking for someone native to the US, especially if you're educated and maintain high ethical standards.

If a foreign company start a section in the Philippines, then I suppouse they find the section boss (and perhaps a few more key positions) INTERNALY in the foreign company and move them to Phils, and hire the others - cheap   

So best chance for a foreigner to get work is to start own business   

@FilAmericanMom

Hello.  I am interested in working and living in the Philippines.  I am an American residing in Texas.  I am 65 yrs old and retired  from the U.S. Air Force.  I have administrative, package handling, and management experience.  Any information would be helpful.

try amazon

i am a truck driver for 20 years i am looking for a us trucking job in the philippines so i can live with my wife in the philippines can any one help me

Welcome to the forum Ronald.

Have you researched truck drivers wages in the Philippines? PHP 15K per month, if lucky maybe 20K. Most foreign companies in the Philippines employ locals for a reason, lower wages, upper management a different story.

As for work here you will need a working class visa and difficult to secure as well as the Filipino first mentality when it comes to employment.

I'm sure we all hope you find what you search for.

Cheers, Steve.

@ronaldhunter1971 this might be a stretch,  it's rumored U.S. will be building 4 military bases in the PI. I don't know where to start,  but every base I went to had civilian workers.  Just a thought.

At one time you could go on the bureau of  Immigration site, they had a page where work visas were approved the name of the person and name of the company were listed there

@Kampkos104 using filipino labor, the military base in Guam using filipino labor

@Kampkos104 This might be a long-shot but if you have a friend that works in IT or is an expert in searching the web (using Google search operators), you could ask him/her to help you search for US companies that posted a job advertisement with "willing to be assigned in the Philippines". A handful of US companies might do this, but they might look to hire internally for this kind of posts.

@dondee31becsuse that highly skilled person has a wife that he loves very much living in the Philippines

@bigpearl

No work visa is needed if work is done for a US company, with all services provided to US companies.

Multiple Immigration attorneys have offered up this info. Many people don't ask BI the right questions, so they get answers geared towards their questions.

For instance: My company is US based. All of my clients are US based. Any work I do, while in the Philippines, for this type of work, has ZERO bearing on my status in the Philippines, or anywhere else. Effectively, I work in the US.

If no money is paid in pesos, no Philippine company benefits from your actions, and you do not pay Filipinos to work for a Philippine-BASED company, you are NOT working in the Philippines. Instead, you are working "while" in the Philippines, which would be no different than working in Africa or Antartica, for that matter.

@muskegonconsulting

Yes well aware of what you are saying as I have worked for a US based company here as an Australian citizen for 12 months, paid in US dollars to my Oz bank account and paid tax in Oz. The company I worked for would take our passports every 2 months to immigration, the first time the stamp said visa waived and there after stay extended.

I suppose it's no different to me living here and deriving income from investments in Australia online, I pay my dues there and I'm on a simple visitor visa.

My comments #16 was referring to Ronaldhunters #15 post.

I was simply saying that a US based trucking/logistics supplier will employ locals and pay local renumeration for such a position in Pesos but if you are sought after in the upper Eschelon as I was and many others then a very different story with negotiations, wages and conditions as well as visa requirements.

We never saw Ronald again but if he researched being married to a PH national he could get a 13a visa then apply for an AEP with the department of labour, alternatively an SRRV or SIRV to accomplish the same thing.

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.

@Munchie Well, you will also be pleasantly surprised how much you can buy with what little they pay. Some companies pay CLOSE to a US rate of pay. Sometimes you can find a salary greater then a

US rate because you have to live so far from home. I am paying $35/month for a place in Northern Luzon.
