Pagadian City, Jan. 24 (PIA) – Jobs seekers who are raring to work this year could start their job search at their own communities, as the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is making it easier for them to do so by bringing the jobs through its job fairs in the regions.

She added that the schedule can also be viewed in the websites of DOLE regional offices under the internal link,” Calendar of Events.”
The BLE, a service agency of the DOLE which hosts the Phil-Jobnet, has reported to Baldoz that the job fairs schedule was set by the DOLE regional offices and Public Employment Service Offices in cooperation with private sectors employers and other DOLE partners.
The regions which have scheduled their first quarter job fairs are the National Capital Region (NCR) Regions 2, 4-A, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, and the Cordillera Adaminsitratve Region (CAR).
