THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will hold job fairs nationwide and will provide government assistance to workers as part of the celebration of Labor Day.
“With at least one job fair and Kadiwa per province, more workers and job seekers and even consumers will have access to employment opportunities and affordable products as DOLE conducts these activities on May 1,” Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said in a statement.
The DOLE encouraged jobseekers to prepare their application requirements such as a resume or curriculum vitae, certificate of employment for those formerly employed, diploma, and transcript of records.
Job seekers are invited to visit any of the 96 job fair sites across the regions where 1,901 participating employers will offer 154,470 job vacancies as of date.
The top vacancies this year are production workers, customer service representatives, cashiers, baggers, sales clerks, laborers, carpenters, painters, microfinance officers, financial advisers, service crew, cooks, waiters, truck drivers, nurses, property consultants, and tutors.
Meanwhile, the public can access affordable products from 1,015 enterprises and 2,414 sellers in 92 Kadiwa ng Pangulo sites nationwide—the biggest conduct of Kadiwa to date.
