How things works at Coworkmates

It really depends on what you and your employer have agreed upon. Normally you will get paid either every 2 weeks or once a month. However, we do recommend that workers ask to be paid weekly when they are first hired to limit their risk of working with a new employer.

NO, this is not a “business opportunity.” This is not a “work from home” scam or a “typing for dollars” thing. You will not be paid on commission. You will not have to pay anything to get a job. You will not be paid “based on performance” or anything like that. This will be a real job where you will get paid a set amount of money each month, for doing full-time work on someone else’s business.

Well…you probably won’t, until you try it. We’ve helped thousands of Filipinos get jobs with Foreign companies, and helped them work from home. CoWorkmates is the largest Philippine job posting board, and it wouldn’t have been possible to grow to #1 by not being legit.

We are here to help both workers and employers resolve salary disputes. We act as mediators in these disagreements and listen to both sides of the story, negotiating a solution where both parties can be accommodated. Nearly all disputes happen when an employer is very unsatisfied with the work done by a worker. Bottom Line: If you do good work, you get paid. We want CoWorkmates to be the safest workplace possible. In the unlikely case where an employer refuses to pay for work done, we will remove the employer from our site. We will also send what the employer paid us for their subscription to the worker. Workers can also use the Verify Employer page when an employer contacts them, to verify that they have an account in good standing at CoWorkmates.

It completely depends on your job and on your employer. Common tasks include writing articles, blogs, forum posts, and other content. You might be updating websites or blogs. You might be doing some link building. Maybe programming (if that’s a skill you have). You might be doing customer support through email or chat. Maybe you’ll be designing web pages or building web sites. Doing research and gathering data is a common task. The tasks vary widely. We promise you’ll be matched up with a company looking for your skill set. You’ll also likely be asked to learn new things and to grow!

We have real people who manually check the profiles, and we try very hard to ensure that all information posted on the site is true. However, there are instances where this is discovered late. Once you get caught, you may risk being banned from CoWorkmates so make sure that all information in your profile is honest. Even if you won’t get caught (which is unlikely), you might get a job with an employer who will be disappointed in your work because you didn’t have the skills that you put on your profile. The employer isn’t likely to want to pay for the work which has (or hasn’t) been done.

This depends on you. You can wait for an employer to hire you, which could take longer. The fastest way to get hired is to apply for multiple jobs that you are qualified for, and immediately reply when there are inquiries. Limit your application to jobs that are good matches for your skills and experience. This is so you don’t waste time applying for a position that you have little to no chance of getting. It also helps to apply for several types of jobs. Consider the core skills you have and think about how these can be used in several other, albeit slightly different, jobs.
