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.
