3,000 jobs up for grabs today
CEBU, Philippines – At least 3,000 vacant positions will be available in today's Local Jobs Fair organized by the Provincial Employment Services Office at the Capitol grounds.
Mathea Baguia, Capitol consultant for employment services, said there are 38 local companies participating in today's event. Jobs in manufacturing, construction and services such as BPOs, hotels, fast food chains are available.
Baguia said, unlike the overseas jobs fair where applicants have to undergo the final interview, in local jobs fair the human resource officer can already decide if the applicant is hired or not.
