Big Job Fair this June!

For the newly-graduates, in-between jobs and career advancements seekers, brave the weather and head out to the SMX Convention Center at the SM Mall of Asia this June 22 to 23.  Following their successful feat last year, JobStreet.com is once again staging its biggest career fair via the Jobgantic Career Fair 2012.

This year, Jobgantic Career Fair is bigger with over 300 employer booths spanning SMX Convention Halls 2, 3 and 4 that offer both local and overseas employment opportunities.  Job seekers get to have a knack at job positions in top-notch conglomerates and multi-national companies like San Miguel Corporation, Ayala Land, Robinsons, Coca Cola, Toyota, McDonalds, Jollibee, PLDT and SMART, ABS-CBN, Petron Marketing and RCBC to name a few that have signed up for the event.  For BPO work, ADP Philippines, Accenture, Convergys, IBM, JP Morgan & Chase Co. and Sykes are but some of the biggest BPO companies that job seekers can apply to on the spot.

According to JobStreet.com, their job listing shows that jobs in engineering (17%), customer care service (14%) sales and marketing specializations (11%) are among the most sought-after job positions.  These are followed by those which require skills in general works and maintenance services, manufacturing, computer and information technology, building and construction, administrative and human resources and hotel and restaurant.  Thus, job seekers should align their career plans and resumes to grab these opportunities.  The company also noted that there is an influx of jobs for the
                                                                                    youth—almost 80% of the total jobs posted.

 “As of press time (June 4), we have hit our record high, if not one of our record highs of over 80,000 jobs available in our website,” exclaims Carolyn Enriquez, senior marketing manager of JobStreet.com, who further explains that companies have started posting jobs heavily this month.  “If the numbers continue to increase, our job seekers signed up with JobStreet.com can look forward to bigger and better chances of getting the job of their dreams soon. All they have to do is just log on at JobStreet.com and apply to the thousands of jobs online.”

Aside from the employer-companies, job seekers can also visit job assistance booths set up by concerned government agencies such as the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)—making the event a one-stop shop for job seeker services.

To avoid long lines, job seekers can pre-register online to receive the Fast Lane Access during the job fair.  To assist small and medium-sized enterprises with staffing requirements, Jobstreet.com is also willing to post job offerings for free.
