1K jobs available in DOLE job fair

By Connie Calipay

Some 1,000 job opportunities await applicants in the job and business fair in Legazpi City on Dec. 8, the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE) regional office said.

Johana Vi Gasga, DOLE-Bicol spokesperson, said the holding of the one-day “Trabaho, Negosyo and Kabuhayan (TNK) and Business Opportunities” fair is in line with the celebration of DOLE’s 88th anniversary and partnership with other concerned government agencies.

She said that although the job fair would be held at the Ayala Malls, employment seekers may opt to send their applications online.

“Those who want to apply personally, they can attend the face-to-face, while those who cannot go to the place, they can still join the job fair by registering at https://bit.ly/signup-dole-jobfair-region5,” she added.

Gasga said those who will prefer face-to-face application may proceed to the Ayala Malls Cinema from 10 AM to 3 PM.

“Present the screenshot of your profile together with your valid identification. Fill out the health declaration checklist and present vaccination card, proceed to the waiting room and once called, proceed to your preferred employer for an interview,” she said.

Online applicants must log in to their registered account on Dec. 8, search for their preferred employer, submit their requirements and wait for the company’s response within seven days.

Gasga said the TNK and Business Opportunities aims to address the unemployment, underemployment, and jobs mismatch in the region. (PNA)
