Job Fair To Be Held at SM Supermalls This Labor Day 2014
Job Fair to be held at SM Supermalls this Labor Day
Job hunting is undeniably a challenging experience and although technology and social media provide many tools to connect applicants to potential employers, a call for an appointment is not always guaranteed.
To address this issue, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), together with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO), will hold the biggest Job Fair of the year on Labor Day, May 1, 2014 at all SM Supermalls nationwide. This event will allow jobseekers to explore from various job opportunities, be interviewed by potential employers, and even get hired on the same day.
SM Supermalls, being home to over 300, 000 employees, continues to make efforts in providing jobs to the growing Filipino workforce. Coming from a huge success last year in which 2,400 companies joined and 394,000 jobs were offered, this year’s Job Fair is expected to be as successful.
In Davao, SM malls will give jobseekers the opportunity to get access to job vacancies on May 1. The Event Center of the Annex, SM City Davao will be the venue for the biggest Job Fair in Region XI, which will gather 10,000 job openings for both local and overseas employment. The said Job Fair is in partnership with DOLE Region XI, AMA Computer Learning Center and PLDT. Prior to the event, a Mini Job Fair and pre-registration is ongoing at the 2nd floor of the Annex to accommodate early applicants.
On the same day, SM Lanang Premier will also be putting up a dropbox at the Upper Ground Level, where jobseekers can submit their resumes. The dropbox will be made available until May 4 to accommodate spillover of applications from the May 1 Job Fair. To provide easy reference for jobseekers, a list of job vacancies from the mall’s tenants and affiliates will be posted as well.
In General Santos City, SM City General Santos and DOLE Region XII will be having a Job Fair on Labor Day at Trade Halls 1 and 2, from 9 am to 5 pm. In addition, the World of Work Fair (WWF) at the 3rd floor Bridgeway and the Industry-Academe Forum at the Trade Hall Meeting Room will also be conducted simultaneously by DOLE Region XII as supporting activities for the Job Fair. Food sponsors for the event are Chowking and Greenwich.
Be sure not to miss this big opportunity this coming Labor Day. Ready your resumes, dress to impress, and go to the nearest SM malls near you.
