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.
