Philippine Government Launches Job Portal - Phil-Jobnet

Another job portal is added to the ever increasing list of job search and online job sites. This time it's from the Department of Labor and Employment that launched their very own Phil-Jobnet portal has reached 108,377 so far, posting a high demand for call-center agents.

“This is a record for the government’s Internet-based job skills matching facility,” said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz via Inquirer.  She noted that the job postings as of this week surpassed previous levels.

The previous highest vacancy level registered in the system was at 102,930 following Labor Day celebrations four months ago, records from DOLE showed. The Web portal, http://phil-job.net, is maintained by the agency’s Bureau of Local Employment.

Current postings show a high demand for call center agents with 20,026 vacancies while over 4,000 customer service assistants were wanted.  Some 3,600 vacancies are sales clerks were also available.

The portal also showed that the agency’s accredited employers were also looking for 2,997 domestic helpers; 2,386 laborers; 1,937 carpenters; 1,778 general electricians; 1,778 heavy equipment operators; 1,707 factory workers and 1,615 service crew workers, among others.

Job offers for real estate persons, merchandisers, promo salespersons, clerk for government, pipe fitters, production machine operators, staff nurses, street sweepers, cashiers, salesmen, data encoders, general pharmacists, forklift operators and plumbers are also available.

Baldoz also lauded private-sector employers for continuously announcing job vacancies in the government system.

“The Phil-Jobnet is an important tool in our labor market information delivery system. It contributes to our effort of bringing down to the grassroots free and valuable information on jobs available in the market,” she said.

Three Most Popular Online Job Sites

I've often encountered a lot of people looking for job opportunities abroad and I don't blame them. But the first question to ask is, "How do I find jobs abroad?" It's never a good idea to leave the country without a plan or without options/ opportunities in place that would help you start your new life in a new country

Here are a number of online job sites which I have been able to collect over the years. There are some other requirements of course that you'll have to complete on your own.

Of course there are the most popular three local sites in the Philippines

1. JobStreet.com - they have about eight locations and I think they're pretty active here in the Philippines - their locations are all in Asia though. Haven't received feedback on people getting hired outside the Philippines but the local traffic is quite high I hear
   





2. Jobsdb.com is another big local site that supports about twelve countries. The site is available in Asian and Western countries. The website is a lot more complicated but I would think they have a lot more job listings

1. Bestjobs.ph is the only non-paid job site I think. Other job sites have paid versions/ services. There are a number of companies there as well. Interface isn't as sophisticated as previous two though. There are a number of opportunities abroad - like Dubai and the US but not as neatly laid out. Probably because it's free
   

I'm in no way connected to the above mentioned companies and am not getting referral fee or anything like that. This is just my personal option of the most popular online job sites, based only on my personal experience.

Smart.com and Job-hunting

Here's an ad of a Smart.com contest for job hunters nonetheless.


Apparently it's job hunting through their web browsing technology and 3G phones. This is very expensive way to find a job I think
