POEA: No Job Orders For Dog Handlers in UAE

Posted by: carmela

Reports of a job opportunity for dog handlers in United Arab emirate (UAE) also appeared in some newspapers and websites, but POEA informed that they have not approved any job orders for the said position, nor received any official request for approval. Likewise, the Philippine Embassy in UAE has not reported that such an opportunity exists. According to Manalili, “We will make formal announcements as soon as the job offers are confirmed.”

The POEA also informed that majority of job openings for Filipino workers abroad would still be for the countries in the Middle East region. With the exception of Dubai, UAE, the economies of the countries in the said area are not very much affected by the financial crisis last year. The consistent top destination of OFWs, Saudi Arabia will develop 12 mega economic cities across the kingdom as part of economic development plan until 2024.

In lieu with the clarifications made, Manalili reminds jobseekers to be vigilant and alert when seeking or applying for job opening overseas. Illegal recruiters and swindlers always take advantage of reports of job orders to lure applicants into giving them huge amounts of money. Always check the availability of job orders and deal only with POEA-licensed agencies. You can check the list of approved job orders here: http://www.poea.gov.ph/cgi-bin/JobVacancies/jobsMenu.asp
