Why PinoyExchange.com Is Not Very Good in Finding Data Entry Jobs
PinoyExchange, or PinoyExchange.com, is one of the leading forum sites in the Philippines. It has a hodgepodge of topics, ranging from sports to humanities, entertainment, and, of course, jobs. For an employer to post jobs, one just has to signup for an account and post. This account applies to all the categories and sub-categories within the site. Jobseekers don’t necessarily need to have an account, unless they want to post a reply. Forum posts are open for everyone to read.
This hodgepodge setup is one of the main disadvantages of PinoyExchange when it comes to looking for data entry jobs. While the forum presents a venue for everyone and every topic under the sun, this isn’t really all that good for someone who is just searching for data entry jobs. In fact, it can be somewhat of a distraction. Imagine having to plough though several topics and sub-topics just to look for a job, a very specific job, at that. At the same time, a person who’s unfamiliar with the forum format may have a hard time navigating the website. Forums, while convenient as venues for about almost anything, will definitely confuse the uninitiated.
Another disadvantage with PinoyExchange as a venue for data entry job searches is that anyone can post and claim to be this and that person, from this and that company. There are no means to confirm the legitimacy of each post. Unlike formal jobs sites where company representatives often discuss the terms with job site representatives and where there is normally an exchange of information on contact details, there is no similar system for sites like PinoyExchange. It is practically a free-for-all, and jobseekers respond at their own risks. One would definitely do better by looking for data entry jobs in a site dedicated to data entry jobs.
