work in manufacturing industry




IMPORTANT NOTICE: As you can see, this blogpost has been flooded with questions. I could no longer answer questions here. If you have questions, CLICK HERE to see if it has been answered in the FAQ. If not, just leave your question in the comment box of that page.



A lot of people commenting on my blogposts and emailing me asking “How to apply as a factory worker in Korea?”. and although I am not authorized to hire people to work here in Korea, I feel obligated as a blogger to share the information on how people in the Philippines apply as a factory worker here. Interested applicant must go through the process of EPS or Employment Permit System.


So here’s a guide for everyone out there who are interested to work in a manufacturing industry. This is based on the agreement between the Ministry of Employment and Labor of the Republic of Korea (MOEL) and the Department of Labor and Employment of the Philippines with regards to the MOU on the Sending of Workers.


There are three rounds you must pass in order to be hired as Factory worker in South Korea. Every round has corresponding points, and the points that you will acquire along the way will help you open the door of opportunity to South Korea. So what are these three rounds?


First Round: Korean Language Test


For the information of everybody, EPS-TOPIK exam is a selection criteria for jobseekers in Korea. This is a Korean language test to ensure that foreign workers who hope to work in Korea are equipped with Korean language skills. One must pass the exam first before being considered for the second step

.

The announcement of EPS-TOPIK is usually posted in the POEA website (www.poea.gov.ph). There is no definite date of posting of announcement. While waiting for the announcement, I recommend you start learning Korean language. You need to pass the exam in order to be listed in the roster of applicants.


 For the qualifications, please check the list below:


·         Must be 18 years of age and not more than 38 years old on the next EPS-TOPIK exam date
·         Must be physically and mentally fit
·         Must not have any record of conviction or imprisonment
·         Must not have any record of deportation or departure orders from the Republic of Korea
·         Registered with active status in the POEA Manpower Registry


Registration venues will soon be posted.


What to Bring for registration:

·         Valid passport or valid governmaent-issued Identification Card with picture and date of birth such as SSS, GSIS, Driver’s License or Voter’s ID
·         Two (2) pcs. passport size colored picture showing a full face with no hat and taken not more than six (6) months before registration
·         Registration/Test fee – US $24 or Php1,044.00. (previous exam)


Go to the respective testing venue on a specified date on the announcement and take the EPS-TOPIK exam. You must pass the exam, if not, you cannot work as a factory worker in Korea.


The exam is consists of two types, the Listening and the Reading. There are 25 items for listening and 25 items also for reading.  You must answer that in 70 minutes. Test type is multiple choice.



You will be informed about the date of the announcement of test result. All you need to do is wait (usually about 7 days) for the announcement which can be found on POEA website. Once you see your name on the passer’s list, you can now submit the requirements to POEA. Please note that passing the exam does not guarantee employment, but basically, you are halfway there.


Second Round: Skills Test


Once you see your name on the passers’ list, report to POEA in your area immediately. You must bring the photocopy and original copy of the following:

1. WORK EXPERIENCE/ CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT
2. LICENSED CERTIFICATE (NATIONAL)
3. VOCATIONAL TRAINING CERTIFICATE MULA SA TESDA O SA TESDA ACCREDITED
TRAINING CENTERS


The POEA will advice you to take the Skills test. Venue and date will be announced. The skills test will further measure your ability to speak and understand Korean Language. It's actually an interview using Korean as a medium of communication.


In this test, you will also receive instructions in Korean and you must do what is asked by the interviewer to pass this test. Commands, like arranging things, identifying colors, lifting objects and whatnot, will be asked in Korean language and you must do it all perfectly.



Third Round: Certifications


The certifications from your previous job experience can gain you more points for this opportunity. If you have no work experience, you can still be listed in a roster as long as you passed round 1 and round 2, but certifications will earn you the following points:


Work Experience (1 year and more) : 3 points
Licensed Certificate (1 year and more): 1 point
Vocational Training Certificate (1 year and more): 1 point


The employers in South Korea will choose the name in the roster based on the points gathered by the hopeful applicants. So it is important you have accumulated good amount of points every round.


How much does it cost?


From the POEA website, you can also see the breakdown of the cost you need to pay for processing.



In peso, it is approximately PHP35,000.


That’s it. It’s not rocket science. You just need patience and the guts. For more information about working here in Korea in general, you may want to check my other posts regarding the current minimum wage for factory workers in Korea, type of jobs in manufacturing industry and a lot more HERE

The training that will be conducted by POEA is the only required training which will only happen if you have already selected. Pero kung balak mo mag exam, ikaw na bahala sa diskarte mo on how to learn the language.

  56. Ask ko lang po kung how frequent it is for a female worker to actually get employed by companies in S.K? Kasi I heard that POEA stopped female applicants from taking the exam due to the low rate demand of female workers or naiba na at tumatanggap na sila ngayon ulit? Ito lang yung pinaka worry ko since I'm a female and I do really want to give my all out just to fly there and work in a factory pero dahil nga sa takot na baka di naman makukuha agad because of my gender eh baka masayang ang efforts and hardwork ko. May kilala po ba kayong female applicant na recently lang natanggap sa S.K?? Thank you :)

    1. hello jhaycel, I am sorry but that is not possible. Kung halimbwa sponsor ka ng ate mo na pumunta dito, limited lang din ang time na pagstay mo. If you will work here, that means you need to extend beyond the time na allowed ka which means TNT ka na. The only way to work as factory worker is to go through POEA as stated in this article.

    1. Hello sir Ergie, napakasalimuot naman ng pinagdadaanan nyo po ngaun. I will tell you straight, hindi po madali mag apply as factory worker dito sa korea. Una sa lahat ipasa nyo muna ang exam at sa ngayon po wala pa pong schedule for hiring. So maybe aabutin pa ng 2 years including yong paghihintay nyo bago kayo makapunta dito. The best thing that you can do now is COMMUNICATION. Kelangan nyo po makausap asawa nyo through skype or facebook tungkol dito. Mahirap po ang LDR pero kung may constant communication kayo sa isa't isa I am sure mapag uusapan nyo naman po yan. Hindi po guaranteed na masosolve ang problem nyo kung pupuntahn mo sya dito. Find ways to reach to her, baka lang din kasi masyado ka rin lang nag iisip. You need to get her side.

    2. May alam ka ba kung hanggang ilan taon lang pwede mag stay ang invite na kapatid diyan?

  59. Pre, katulad lang ba dito pag process ng medical examination sa pinas or iba na, I mean kung kunting test nalang gagawin sayo?

    1. yes sir. pero mabilisan na dito, hindi kasing meticulous sa pinas. pagdating sa training center, medical kayo kaagad kaya impotanteng huwag uminom ng kahit anong gamot bago ang flight.

    1. that's a good start bro. Pero ilang taon ka na ba? Kasi hanggang 38 years old lang pwede dito eh. Wala pang announcement for KLT 13, kakatapos lang din kasi ng exam for KLT 12, so abang abang ka lang, habang nag aabang, aral ka lang para siguradong mapasa mo ang exam. Good luck sa iyo at sana ay maayos ang inyong sitwasyon ng pamilya mo.

    3. sobrang laki pa ng chance bro. Prayer and determination is all you need.. Dapat determinado ka kasi kung meron ka nyan, talagang sisikapin mo makapasa sa exam. Habang maaga pa aral ka muna ng language habang naghihintay ng schedule. And again, talk to your wife. Communication ang kailangan nyo. God bless po sa inyo at sa inyong pamilya

    4. Salamat bro! Yup nagseself study nko ngyon ang totoo nakakalibang din kasi nacchallenge ako hehe.

Oo nga pla bro baka may idea ka kung ano mas ok preffered position as manufacturer dyan ung ok sa salary kahit mahirap nag e-register na kasi ako dko alam pipiliin ko madami kasi option.

    6. Madami pre. Pwede yan download mo lahat ng textbook by parts 1 - 50 yun eh. Tapos sa Youtube search mo VIVI KOREAN or SEEMILE, panoorin mo o idownload mga videos nila. Google mo rin ibang site para dagdag kaalaman. Madali lang yan pre pag motivated ka at desidido ka talagang mapasa mo ang EPS. Vocabulary, numbers, writing hangul, alphabet, creating a sentence, greetings. At ito pa ang dapat mong malaman, may ways sila sa pag uusap sa bata, ka e-dad mo lang at mas matanda sayo. Lahat yan pag-aaralan mo.

  63. Good Day ! I find your blog so helpful for people who are aspiring to work in SK! Kudos for you! :)
    Anyway, i would just like to ask more information about this industry? For example, nahired ako, usually how many months will be the contract? Coz right now i am waiting for the next EPS ToPik and i will be taking that test as soon as possible. :) im 19 years old. :) but i am planning to go back here in philippines on june or july 2016 again because i will be continuing my studies. as of this year, i want to work in korea, if i got hired, usually how many months will be the contract?

    Well this is just my other options of working in korea. Just making some back up plans. Hoping for your quick response Have a nice day

    1. Hi kenne. Contracts usually last up to 3 years. You can't just work for few months and go home. If you want to work here in korea, give it at least a year if you want to stop and go back home. And few months of working here will not earn you that much money. It's not worth the time and effort of applying, sayang ang chance.

  65. Hello, nice topic and info from the whole blog site, for aspiring Filipinos want to get a job in S. Korea thru EPS-TOPIK. I'm 25, currently 3 years na design engineer here in Bataan. Nakaka-inspire yung self review nyo then you've passed the exams. Hoping to do that too, kasi mejo kamahalan yung P7k sa mga training center then dyahe pa if may current na job pa. Hoping to be in the 13th batch.

    1. hi merry rose, before ka makapag apply sa korea, may physical and medical exam na po sa Pilipinas. I suggest you better check with POEA approved hospitals and medical centers dyan sa Pinas kung pwede ba makapag trabaho abroad (not only Korea) ang mga may ganyang sakit. Sila ang mas nakakaalam kasi alam nila ang standard ng medical test sa abroad.

    1. Hi anamae, wala akong kakilalang may ganayang case pero sa medical test kasi kasali ang blood test. I am sure malalaman na may diabetes ka. Ang hindi ko lang sure if fit to work pa rin ba or hindi pag may ganyan. Pero suggestion ko, check mo muna sa mga POEA accredited medical centers na malapit sa inyo and ask. They know the standards of medical test in working abroad, so they can answer you better.

    3. oh wait.. you haven't signed the contract yet? Dapat nung nag ka EPI ka pa lang, pumunta ka na sa POEA for signing of contract and scheduling of training. Kapag na forward na ang labor contract, ibig sabhin nag sign ka na. If hindi ka pa nag sign tapos naforward na, that means may problema sa proseso. I suggest you have to go to POEA sir to clarify this issue. Baka nagkamali ang system or something
