“As its way of commemorating the 110th Labor Day in the country, the Department of Labor and Employment will bring together employers [that] are looking for applicants to fill vacancies in their companies and job seekers [that] are looking for the right job that matches their skills and talents. This is not confined in one area because we are making sure that every Filipino willing to work will have a chance to one of the vacancies offered,” Baldoz said.
The simultaneous nationwide Job and Livelihood Fairs will also showcase livelihood counseling, franchising opportunities, skills training, and livelihood skills demonstration.
In Metro Manila, to ensure the fast and smooth processing of job applications and other employment-related documentation, the DOLE has enlisted the participation of the National Bureau of Investigation, Social Security System, Bureau of Internal Revenue, National Statistics Office, Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth, which will have their own booths at the fair in Pasay City.
Baldoz once again urged job applicants that will go to the fairs to preregister online through the Phil-JobNet website,www.phil-job.net, by clicking the 2012 Labor Day Job and Livelihood Fairs Applicant Pre-Registration button or by visiting the nearest Public Employment Service Office for easier job matching facilitation.
