MANILA, Philippines -- The 2008 Labor Day Celebration Job Fair has 30,000 available jobs from 110 employers, but only 3,000 registered for the vacancies as of 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
The job fair, sponsored by the Department of Labor and Employment at the World Trade Center, attracted all kinds of applicants -- new graduates, the unemployed, and even those seeking better jobs.
Raymundo Agravante, DoLE regional director for Metro Manila who gave the registration rate, said the job vacancies were from 72 employers seeking people for work in the country and 38 companies seeking applicants for work abroad.
DoLE spokesman Jay Julian said the department held similar job fairs in other regions which may account for the low registration rate. But he said the rate is fairly average compared to previous job fairs.
Local employers said most of the applicants wanted to work overseas because the job seekers think the local companies are "not that big."Joy Jose is one such job seeker. A computer programming graduate, she instead applied for a job as a room attendant abroad. She said working overseas will give her the opportunity to help her family.Job applicants agreed that the job fair is a big help for them because it provides easy access to available jobs; they don't need to go to individual companies.
