Leading online job platform JobStreet Philippines revealed over the weekend the list of top 10 roles, specializations and industries to apply for in line with its goal of encouraging candidates to seek better jobs this year.
“We’re expecting more job opportunities coming in the next few months, especially now that things are going back to normal and going more digital. Likewise, competition among talents is tougher, so jobseekers are encouraged to learn new skills and tools, rehearse for interviews and put their best foot forward,” said JobStreet Philippines country manager Philip Gioca.
Based on the latest JobStreet internal database, the top 10 specializations are customer service, finance–general/cost accounting, IT/computer–software, clerical/administrative support, human resources, marketing/business development, education, sales-retail/general, banking/financial services and sales -corporate.
Meanwhile, the top 10 in-demand roles that gained the highest job posts recently are customer service representative, teacher, administration officer, call center operator, nurse, software engineer, team leader, business analyst, sales associate and engineer.
