Will I be able to find a job in Dumaguete?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Dumaguete, they reponded...

"Lots of educated young people work in call centers. Post-pandemic, a lot of this work is now done from home. Foreigners cannot work and you wouldn't want to anyway, as local wages are very low," said another expat in Dumaguete, Philippines.

"Foreigners in Dumaguete, Philippines often work as English teachers, given the high demand for English language instruction in the country. Some also find employment in the tourism industry, working in hotels, resorts, or travel agencies. Others may work in the information technology sector, particularly in outsourcing companies that cater to international clients. There are also foreigners who establish their own businesses, such as restaurants or bars, especially in areas popular with expats and tourists. Additionally, some foreigners work for non-governmental organizations or international institutions, often in roles related to community development or environmental conservation. Lastly, due to the city's growing reputation as a retirement destination, some foreigners are employed in the healthcare and real estate sectors, providing services to other expats," wrote a member who made the move to Dumaguete , Philippines.
