Nearly 70,000 job vacancies can be accessed online via the Department of Labor and Employment's Internet job portal for June.
 
DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the Phil-JobNet portal has 69,868 job vacancies, both local and overseas.
 
“This news is very timely especially for parents who are sending their children to school and are looking for jobs to support their education,” Baldoz said.
 
Among the vacancies on Phil-Jobnet (www.phil-job.net) are:
 
  • "Call center agent", with 10,010 vacancies
  • "Dealers", with 5,500 vacancies
  • "Production/factory workers", 2,577 vacancies
  • "Domestic helpers", 1,487 vacancies
  • "Agents", 1,437 vacancies
  • "Production machine operators", 1,432 vacancies
  • "Cashiers", 1,192 vacancies
  • "Customer service assistants", 1,168 vacancies
  • "Merchandisers", 1,026 vacancies
 
Phil-Jobnet provides timely, relevant, and readily accessible information on job vacancies and job applicants at no cost to registered jobseekers and employers.
 
At the start of the Aquino administration, about 3,000 establishments were accredited with the Phil-Jobnet, registering an average of 35,000 job vacancies posted.
 
The deployment of Job Search kiosks and the DOLE's continuous advocacy for its use by the Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs) and other employment intermediaries and industries increased the number to 7,000 establishments with an average of 100,000 job vacancies.
 
“These numbers are expected to increase even more as soon as the enhancements on the system are already in place,” said Baldoz.
 
She said new features are coming to the online job portal to make job and skills matching facilitation easier and more efficient.
 
Among the upcoming features are:
 
  • the integration of the skills registry system (SRS)
  • the DOLE Data Warehouse subsystem which will integrate Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Professional Regulations Commission, Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, and Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration databases and allow verification of skills/professional certification and/or licenses.
 
A flexible matching system will also be installed to accommodate matching of job applicants to a vacancy, according to general and specific requirements of employers.
 
It will also let employers join job fairs through advanced online registration, invite applicants for interview, and allow applicants to respond or to request to reset interview schedules.
 
With such a system in place, an applicant can also pre-register for a scheduled job fair.
 
During matching, the employer can view the profile of the applicants who matched the requirements of the vacancy while the applicant will receive a notification via email or SMS.
 
There will also be an interactive map where applicants can view available jobs, livelihood projects implemented, or training programs being conducted at the regional and provincial levels, including available overseas jobs; list of top hiring companies; and a PESO Performance Monitoring System (PPMS).
 
"These new features and enhancements of the Phil-Jobnet will further result to better delivery of our employment facilitation services," said Baldoz. — TJD, GMA News
