Why Jobstreet.com Is Not Very Good in Finding Data Entry Jobs

Jobstreet is one of Asia’s biggest job search sites, and many people turn to it when looking for jobs or fishing for better opportunities. However, it might not be the best alternative for those looking for data entry work.

While the site contains several listings of data entry jobs, most of these are office-based regular jobs, where an employee is paid a fixed amount, regardless of the workload. If one really needs to find stable work, then this is all right as it is. However, with the many opportunities out there for data entry workers to earn without limits, Jobstreet.com may just be selling the applicant short.

One of the major disadvantages of Jobstreet.com is that the bulk of the job postings here are for regular work. Per project or temporary work is hard to find, even when there are a couple of these in its database. With Jobstreet.com, it is actually more reliable to search according to specialization. At least in this category, one is more likely to find jobs that suit data entry workers. The downside is that most are attached to companies that want regular employees.

At the same time, another disadvantage at Jobstreet.com is the limitations it imposes on results. One is not likely to find more lucrative international data entry opportunities listed in one’s Jobstreet country site, unless the employer specified to list for that country – and this seldom happens. This is actually quite contrary to the global trend in outsourcing, particularly for data entry jobs. There are several offshore opportunities out there, and it is odd that Jobstreet.com hardly has any of these. A user will be better off searching elsewhere.

Last, being one of the largest job sites in Asia can also be a disadvantage for Jobstreet. With so many items in its database, it will take hours for the user to sift through and find one that suits him or her.
