More than 24,000
government job vacancies nationwide will be offered to jobseekers as the
leading online job portal JobStreet hosts its Virtual Career Fair in
partnership with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) happening on September 20
to 24.
This is in line with the platform’s continued commitment to provide jobs that matter during these increasingly unpredictable times, empowering candidates that were affected by the pandemic and the recent strict implementation of community quarantine.
Over 160 government agencies are participating in the Virtual Career
Fair, offering various specializations such as Security/Armed Forces/Protective
Services, Education Clerical/Administrative Support, General Work (Housekeeper,
Driver, Dispatch, Messenger, etc), Healthcare (Nurse, Medical Support,
Assistant), among others.
Central Visayas,
CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) and MIMAROPA
(Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan), Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga, and
Cordillera Administrative Region are the top locations for the said government
jobs.
According to The
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), around 90,000 workers were affected
by the recent Enhanced Community Quarantine. They have either permanently lost
their jobs or are under flexible work arrangements.
Based on
JobStreet’s Global Talent Survey, many jobseekers are now prioritizing job
security over financial compensation due to the unpredictability of the
COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, the government sector is one of the top employers
in JobStreet, hence viewed as a more secure career option by Filipino workers
at this time.
With this,
JobStreet and CSC offer employment opportunities in the public sector by
bringing jobseekers and hiring government agencies together in the virtual
career fair.
The joint
initiative is also in commemoration of the CSC’s 121st Philippine Civil Service
Anniversary, wherein they committed to holding an enjoyable, productive, and
helpful virtual job fair this 2021.
“It has always been
JobStreet’s advocacy to provide every Filipino with jobs that matter, and it’s
an honor that the Civil Service Commission trusted us again to be a part of
this initiative to help candidates rebuild themselves and find an opportunity
to be of service to our nation,” shared JobStreet Philippines Country Manager
Philip Gioca.

the Virtual Career Fair in partnership with CSC can explore the platform’s live
