Published by rudy Date posted on June 1, 2013

Good news for parents who need steady income to put their children through school: more than 130,000 jobs are up for grabs in the Philippines this June, the Department of Labor and Employment said Thursday.

DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said prospective jobseekers can find out more about the vacancies by accessing the Phil-Jobnet online job matching system.

“This is good news especially for parents who have children to support and to the new graduates who now have their turn in supporting their siblings’ education,” Baldoz said in a news release.

“There are a number of vacant jobs in the country which remains unfilled for a period of time because recruiters are having a hard time getting applicants with the set of skills and competencies that matches the requirements of the job,” she added.

However, Baldoz also reminded job applicants to create their accounts at the Phil-Job.net website for an easier online job application.

This will help them save time, money and effort in looking for jobs, she said.

Presently, Baldoz said there are 130,290 vacancies as of May 29, with the top 20 jobs as:
– Salesman, 11,971 vacancies
– Call center agent, 8,888
– Service crew, 8,757

– Sales officer, 1,300
– Head waiter, 1,234
– Promo girl, 1,228
– Janitress, 1,216
– Promo salesperson, 1,146.

Baldoz advised jobseekers who want to upgrade their skills and qualifications to take a technical-vocational course related to their craft from the Technical Education and Skills Development Administration’s (TESDA).

She said TESDA has a network of 4,500 technical education and skills development (TESD) providers nationwide.

TESDA offers training for skills required by the sectors of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning, electronics, agriculture and fishery, processed food and beverages, tourism, health and other community development services, information and communications technology, maritime, garments, footwear and leather goods, furniture and fixtures, and utilities, DOLE said.

A trainee who completes the course will get a National Certificate (NC) or Certificate of Competency (COC). – VVP, GMA News
