Data Entry Jobs in the Philippines

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.

Home-based work like in data entry jobs require a different set of work etiquette. The home is filled with distractions and temptations. Anyone can get sidelined into doing other things. At the same time, you have to deal with a different set of people – most of whom are not working and might not understand why you’re there but are still not giving them your time.

When getting into home-based work, like data entry jobs, you can try to adopt these top 5 habits of successful stay-at-home staffers:

1.They regularly check their email – When working at home, email is usually the means by which assignments and feedback are sent. Regularly check your email so that you are updated on your projects.

2.They follow self-imposed work hours – Keeping regular working hours, even when you are at home, is the best way to balance work duties and home responsibilities. It allows you to allot time for your family and chores. At the same time, some home-based work, like in data entry jobs, require daily submission of output at specified times. For these types, you will need to work within a daily time frame.

3.They are diligent in their work – Some home-based jobs can get repetitive and, well, boring. Regardless of how you feel about your work, you should always be diligent in accomplishing it and in churning out above-par output.

4.They check and recheck their work – Employers value work quality. With the increasing number of people looking for home employment, it would do you good to always check your work, at least twice. This way, your employers will know that you can provide good work and will continue to give you assignments.

5.They submit their output on time – Like quality, promptness is required from home-based employees. Companies still have to process your output; and they cannot do their job if you haven’t done yours.

Working at home through jobs like data entry may seem like heaven to some – but in reality, this type of work poses challenges, especially when it comes to juggling work and home responsibilities. Just imagine this scenario. You are trying to finish your daily commitment for data entry jobs when the baby wails. Your 7-year old is whining about his toy too. You look at the clock and it’s almost time for lunch. You haven’t been to the kitchen to cook. Laundry is piling up. And neighbors are constantly passing by your window, distracting you to oblivion. It seems unimaginable for you to get your data entry jobs done.

Time management as a solution

The best solution – though not easy – is time management. Sure, there are household chores to do, as well as people to take care of. Yet, you still have to work. It helps that you can anticipate what needs to be done daily for your home and for your data entry jobs. You will always have to eat lunch. Your kids will always need constant attention. Likewise, you can schedule laundry and other chores.

Schedule in your work too, as you schedule all the other factors of your life. If your toddler has school in the morning, you can use this time to maximize the work you do for your job. Babies often wake up early and then need to sleep in the middle of the morning — that’s an opportunity for you to get significant work done. You can then stop towards lunchtime to prepare food.

When you juggle several responsibilities at the same time, you need to allot hours in the day for each task. Once you’ve drafted a schedule, you need to strictly stick to it, unless of course there’s an emergency. It takes some discipline to do so but in the end, you will be rewarded with a job well done.

In reality, there is really no best college course for landing data entry jobs. In data entry jobs, your required skills include data input speed and accuracy. You should also have above average comprehension of English vocabulary and grammar. You can acquire this through specialized training – those training courses offered outside universities, specifically for data entry jobs. Or, you can acquire this through the course of your collegiate studies. You can study or you can self-train – it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that you pass the skills tests. These require you to do sample data entry work and submit a timely product with minimal errors.

Specialized courses for data entry jobs

If you have to take a course geared towards data entry, then specialized courses concerning medicine and legal work would be good. This is especially advantageous if you end up taking data entry work that’s focused on medical or legal transcription. Courses like these can help you familiarize with common terms used. If you are transcribing, this can be the hardest hurdle. You encounter many unfamiliar terms, with varying local accents at that. Being familiar with the terms can help hasten your work because you won’t have to do extra research to make sure you got the word right.

Another good course to take if you want a career in data entry is basic computing. Basic computing courses will teach you the ins and outs of using computers. This way, you can easily navigate through the hardware and software that you’ll use. At the same time, your mindset can quickly understand any new software that may be required for specific data entry jobs.

In any case, the basics are the most important: data input speed, accuracy, vocabulary, and grammar. Whatever course you take in college can work for you if you strive hard enough in the data entry industry.

You’ve seen it a million times: “must be below 35.” This is in the Sunday paper’s classified ads, even in online job postings. And, you may wonder: “How is my being 36 going to affect how I do accounting work?” It’s age discrimination really, and it’s been around for the longest time.

Data entry jobs = no age requirements

Data entry jobs offer a convenient way to skirt these age discriminatory practices. With data entry jobs, you do not need to be of certain age. You can be sixty; you can be a college student. It doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you are capable of accomplishing your tasks in a timely and efficient manner. You should be able to come up with quality work, and deliver these promptly. Output is the main concern with these jobs – not gender, circumstances, or age.

This is a great alternative then for “over aged” or “under aged” people. Since all that matters is output, anyone can try for this type of work and just be concerned about having the necessary skills, and not the appropriate age.

For data entry jobs, you need exceptional typing skills, patience and diligence. Your English should be above par; and you should be open to expanding your vocabulary. Attention to details is a must as you will be dealing with several data at a time. It is easy to lose track and mess up the records. Likewise, you need to be devoted enough to what you do. These jobs can get repetitive; and if you do not want that in your work, then this type of job might not be the one for you.

Getting this type of job is always rewarding. Apart from age not being an issue, you can find yourself learning about new things. Your time is well used, and you are earning good money.
