Mega Job Fair and Discount Caravan At Makati City Hall Quadrangle

If you're unemployed (like me XD) or just bored (again,  like me XD), I encourage you to come to the Makati City Mega Job Fair and Discount Caravan at the Makati City Hall Quadrangle today, Thursday, 
July 12, 2012 8AM - 5PM. 

This is through Makati City government's Public Employment Service Office (PESO). This is also in conjunction with Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin C. Binay.

Mayor Binay, who's turning 35 today, called on jobseekers and entrepreneurs to participate in the twin events, themed “Trabaho at Abot-Kayang Bilihin Handog ni Mayor Jun Binay”.  

Over 60 companies and business establishments will be accepting applications and conducting interviews, while others will sell products for up to 50 percent discount or at factory prices.

“We encourage the unemployed residents of Makati and its neighboring localities to come to the job fair this Thursday and get the chance to work with one of the reputable companies, institutions and manpower agencies that are in search of competent and reliable workers,” Binay said.

The discount caravan is in collaboration with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Over 30 companies and manufacturers will sell their products at affordable rates, giving 5 to 50 percent discounts or factory price.

The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will also be sending its trainees to offer free haircut, massage and other services, while the Bureau of Plant Industry will be giving away free fruit-bearing and ornamental plant seedlings.
