This isn’t just any job fair. It’s a full-blown opportunity hub, bringing together hundreds of local and overseas employers, thousands of job openings, on-the-spot hiring, and even government services like the Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)—all in one convenient, accessible, and air-conditioned SM mall. 

Whether you're a fresh grad, seasoned pro, or a returning Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), this is your chance to glow up and gear up for your next career move.
