For Job Seekers
Prepare for your overseas career — the safe way.
Preparing for overseas employment involves more than submitting an application. We help you understand the process and improve your readiness before entering formal recruitment channels.
How we help
Support for applicants
Education, preparation, and referral — so every step you take goes through a legitimate channel.
CV Review
Applicants receive guidance on improving the structure, presentation, and clarity of their CV so it meets the expectations of international employers and licensed agencies.
Career Readiness
We help applicants understand how their qualifications, experience, and skills may fit international employment requirements, and what to improve before applying.
Safe Agency Guidance
We guide applicants on how to locate and verify DMW-licensed recruitment agencies, so every application goes through a legitimate, government-approved channel.
PEOS Support
We encourage and help applicants complete the mandatory DMW Pre-Employment Orientation Seminar (PEOS), available online at peos.dmw.gov.ph.
Job Order Awareness
We educate applicants on checking legitimate and active overseas job orders through official government resources before committing to any offer.
Anti-Illegal Recruitment Education
We help applicants recognise common signs of illegal recruitment and encourage them to use only government-approved recruitment channels.
