The local government of Quezon City will hold a mega job fair at the city hall's Risen Garden on May 1.
Over 100 local and international companies will join the event to give employment opportunities to the QCitizens.
"In Quezon City, our goal is to continue providing our QCitizens and job seekers in Metro Manila with opportunities to improve their lives. There is no better way than a job fair where they have multiple choices and can enjoy services such as free ID picture and resume printing," Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
Spearheaded by the QC Public Employment Service Office with the support of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the event is the biggest job fair organized by the local government as part of its 85th anniversary.
The job expo will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and it is also open for non-QC residents.
Big companies will join the fair such as San Miguel Corporation Integrated Merchandising Inc., Meralco Energy Inc., D.M Consunji Inc., Solaire Resort North, Sanford Mktg. Corporation (Savemore), Robinsons Supermarket, Union Bank, Wilcon Depot, Zesto Corporation, Amaia Land Corporation, Asia Brewery Inc., and JRS Express.
First-time job seekers may also get clearances from the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police for free.
The city government will also provide a One-Stop Shop to process relevant requirements such as the QCitizen ID, PhilSys ID, Social Security System, Philhealth and Pag-IBIG membership.
There will also be simultaneous job fairs in SM North Edsa, SM Sta. Mesa, SM Novaliches, and SM Fairview.
Meanwhile, as part of the city’s month-long job expo, there will be a job fair in Waltermart EDSA on May 4 and during the Maginhawa Summer Fest on May 5.
