JobStreet.com invades Cebu

Cebu City donned YELLOW last February 25!

Apart from commemorating EDSA Day with entire nation, our Cebuano brothers were also jubilant with JobStreet.com’s Cebu Invasion via the opening of

the first-of-its-kind CAREER HUB in the country- a one-stop career center that aims to provide Cebuano jobseekers with career resources and opportunities under one roof at the 2nd floor of SM Cebu City.

SUCCESS STARTS HERE… with the Cebu Career Hub and gracing the launch were no less than DOLE Assistant Director for Region 7 Exequiel Jarcuaga, JobStreet.com’s Country Manager Mary Grace Colet and SM City Cebu Mall Manager Sheryll Tuvilla who all expressed their high hopes for the success of the project that aims to make Cebu the abode of the future movers and shakers of the workforce.

Adding media hype to this occasion were three (3) TV networks, two (2) radio stations, three (3) print media organizations and the Cebu Bloggers Association which delivered Php 1.53million worth of media mileage for JobStreet.com!

In less than two weeks, almost 1,500 jobseekers were able to avail of the hub’s various career services which include "Hiring-On-The-Spot" (HOTS) by Employers on Fridays, "Career Consultation Sessions" on Saturdays and sign-up and apply online on all days.

The numbers are expected to rise as more jobseekers, most especially the fresh graduates, find time to visit and experience jobhunting the JobStreet.com way… and on our part, we can look forward for the JOBSTREET.COM CEBU INVASION to turn into JOBSTREET CEBU DOMINATION!

JobStreet.com in Perak for Resume and Career Clinic

We organised a Resume and Career Clinic recently with KPerak in Ipoh and received overwhelming response with over 300 candidates signing up for the clinic. The Resume and Career Clinic gave the attendees more effective ways in writing their resumes. Generally, as HR Managers would only spend 30 seconds on an average per resume, it would be utterly important that a resume does just that. Too short may mean insufficient information but too long may mean that the resume may not be considered.

 The majority of the candidates were from the working population and some of them were managers who have not written a resume in ages!

Also, attending an interview without the right interview tips may prove to be a disadvantage. With the Interview tips presented at the Resume and career Clinic, the candidates would be better prepared. As they say, preparation is everything and if we fail to plan, we have just planned to fail. Many questions were asked during the Q&A session and it was indeed a session which benefited the job seekers. 

 The event was well organised and both JobStreet.com and KPerak certainly would want to do more for JobStreet.com members in Perak.  So, see you soon at the next event.
