The Civil Service Commission announced that around 260,000 unfilled positions are waiting to be filled via an online job fair to be held this month.
“Mayroon tayong five-day, government online career fair…ito po ay gaganapin Sept. 14 to 18,” Commissioner Aileen Lizada said on Tuesday. “More or less we have 260,000 vacant unfilled positions and we would like to fill them up.”
She added that around 700 government agencies have registered so far for the fair, with more offices to come. They have until Sept. 10 to register.
The job fair is done in partnership with Jobstreet.com, a popular online job-hunting website. Jobseekers simply have to create an account with the site, and to fill out a personal data sheet and they will be directed to the CSC website for the next steps.
The list of vacant positions will not be available for viewing until Sept.14.
“As a general rule, yes (civil service eligibility is required), but may mga position po kasing hindi nagre-require ng eligibility,” she said. “Like, let’s say from salary grade 1 to salary grade 4, wala hong eligibility yan.”
[As a general rule yes, but there are positions that do not require eligibility. Like from salary grade 1 to salary grade 4, no eligibility is needed.]
Among the most in demand jobs are deputy register of deeds, admin officer, attorney, accountant, procurement officer, research specialist, medical officer, guidance counselor, information technology, and engineer, she added.
