DOLE to use ‘digital resumes’ at Labor Day job fair
Jobseekers and overseas Filipino workers who will register with the government’s job portal will be using "digital resumes" during the Labor Day job fair in Manila on May 1, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the jobseekers who will register online will receive at the job fair in Luneta, Manila Phil-JobNet cards containing their digital resumes.
Workers may register and encode their profile online at www.phil-job.net.
They will get a confirmation slip, which they will present to the Processing/Verification Booth at the May 1 Job Fair in Luneta. After that, they will be issued the Phil-JobNet cards.
Those who cannot print the confirmation slip have to present an ID card to the Processing/Verification Booth for them to be issued the Phil-JobNet card.
During the fair, the jobseekers will present these cards to the companies they want to apply in.
The participating firms and recruitment agencies will then download the applicants' resumes into their computers using the cards.
“The Phil-JobNet card will serve as a digital resume containing a jobseeker’s profile. Jobseekers will simply present the card for any job they are interested in to any local firms or overseas recruitment agencies which will participate at the Labor Day Job and Livelihood Fair in Luneta," Baldoz said in a news release posted on the DOLE website.
"The participating firms and recruitment agencies will, in turn, copy the digital resume in their laptops," Baldoz said.
“With the card, jobseekers can apply for as many jobs as they can at the fair, which would increase their chances of landing a job they want," she said.
Unfortunately, she said Phil-JobNet cards will be available on a limited basis due to budget constraints.
Still, she said jobseekers may avail of the Phil-JobNet cards for free at the Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs) in Manila, Quezon City, Makati, San Juan, Taguig, Caloocan, Mandaluyong, and Muntinlupa cities.
“Workers who intend to look for jobs at the Job and Livelihood Fair in Luneta on May 1, whether they are residents in Metro Manila or any province, may drop by at the designated PESOs and fill up bio-data forms for their profile that PESO staff would encode into the Phil-JobNet, after which the workers will be issued their Phil-JobNet cards for free," Baldoz said.
Jobseekers in the regions
Meanwhile, Baldoz urged jobseekers in all the other regions to register online with the Phil-JobNet for the Job and Livelihood Fair in their respective regions.
She said employers who will participate in the regional fair can immediately view their profile at the Phil-JobNet, which will facilitate their search for qualified applicants.
Baldoz added jobseekers in other regions may be provided Phil-JobNet cards next year.
The DOLE is exploring measures, which may include partnership with the private sector, for the nationwide distribution of Phil-JobNet cards to jobseekers by 2012, she said. – VVP, GMA News
