Can Filipino workers be hired

Question

Can Filipino workers be hired here? Recently, a company replied to my job application. They don't have a Filipino worker in their company. I am a Filipino worker who currently finding job. I know that the language barrier will be the first problem to occur. Since i don't really speak and understand chineese mandarin very well. Is there a chance that companies will hire me? Although i am fluent in english.

Hi,

The answer is positive. 
Yes. There is a lot of opportunity for foreigners.

Couple general tips for you.

1.Use Resume Clinic 
Taiwanese resume has our own unique culture. You must have profile picture, autobiography whatnot. In 104 standard resume template, you can set up #working skills, also project achievement. Please fill in as much as possible, and seeking for Giver feedback.

2.Focus on mid-large size Tech Company
If you are in Business, or Engineering background, try mid-size Tech Company will be a good start. Most of Taiwanese Tech Company are aiming global market. They have bunch of employee speak English (no matter fluent or okay level). Fluent English is always a plus. 
Mid-Large size company usually has bigger, experienced HR team can support your working VISA issue or related immigrant processes.

3.Focus on your strength not weakness 
I know you are struggle on your weakness which is Mandarin. 
Job searching should focus on your strength. In your resume, autobiography, interview, you should mention below key points. 
a) You should be? a trilingual-- Tagalog, English, Chinese. 
b) Your education background, certification, license, patent, project and research 
c) Your personality, and soft skill, as a foreigner, usually we are natural fast-learner, manage stressful situation, flexible, and maybe something else.

Don't just mention "I am sorry, I don't speak Chinese well." 
You should be proud on the mother tone you have, and you speak 2nd, 3rd languages.

I am a Taiwanese working in US now. I know how difficult it is to work in a different country. However, Language skill is not equal to communication skill. 
I am proud of my simple English, and asking silly questions like how to spell XXX. Because most of time, I am not the only person who has English as 2nd language. Simple language brings clarity for communication most of time~

Yes, Filipino workers can be hired in Taiwan. In fact, the Taiwanese government is considering hiring more Filipino workers and offering them permanent residency. This is because Filipino workers are known for their hard work, dedication, and adaptability.

While it is true that the language barrier can be a challenge for Filipino workers in Taiwan, it is not insurmountable. Many Taiwanese companies are willing to hire Filipino workers who are fluent in English, especially in industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, and tourism.

Here are some tips for Filipino workers who are looking for jobs in Taiwan:

Focus on your English skills. Make sure that you are fluent in English and that you can communicate effectively in both written and spoken form.
Highlight your relevant skills and experience. When applying for jobs, be sure to emphasize your skills and experience that are relevant to the position you are applying for.
Network with other Filipino workers in Taiwan. There are many Filipino communities in Taiwan, and networking can be a great way to learn about job opportunities and get advice from other Filipino workers.
Be patient and persistent. It may take some time to find a job in Taiwan, but don't give up. Keep applying for jobs and networking with other Filipino workers.
If you are interested in working in Taiwan, I recommend that you visit the website of the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) of the Ministry of Labor. The WDA provides information on job opportunities in Taiwan, as well as information on the visa and work permit requirements for foreign workers.

I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your job search!
