A TOTAL of 355 job seekers were hired on the spot by the 57 participating companies in Caloocan City’s 9th Mega Job Fair, raising the 34-percent success rate from the previous job fair to 45.6 percent.
Some 780 job applicants attended the event conducted by the local government unit through its Public Employment Service Office (PESO), at the Bulwagang Katipunan on July 26.
Mayor Dale Gonzalo Malapitan thanked the PESO for its continued efforts to organize the job fair and called on more residents to continue attending the next career expos that will be provided by the city.
“Muli po tayong nagpapasalamat sa PESO para sa isa na namang matagumpay na job fair ngayong buwan. Patuloy lang po ang pagsasagawa natin ng mga programang magbibigay ng kabuhayan sa atin mga kababayan kaya sana po ay mas marami pa sa inyo ang dumalo sa susunod,” Mayor Along stated.
He pointed out that the city government will continue improving to improve on the success rate of each job fair. He also encouraged more business owners to participate in the city job fair to have more available opportunities for Caloocan residents while also improving the economic status of the city.
“Sana po ay dumami pa ang bilang ng ating mga partner companies sa mga susunod na job fair. Mas maraming kumpanya, mas maraming trabaho para sa ating mga kababayan at patuloy din ang pag-unlad ng ekonomiya ng ating lungsod,” the mayor added.
