3 Easy Steps to Get Hired Now



One of the easiest ways to find a job is to let it find you. Yep that's the secret. You don't have to go line up & fill up forms everywhere. You let the jobs come to you. How do you do that?

Well let's start at the beginning - the job seeker. The job seeker has to be more visible.

1. Put yourself out there - be visible. Sign up on job sites like Jobstreet.com, Jobsdb.com, Bestjobs.ph. I have no bias for these online job sites but I just happen to know they work. Companies actually use these sites to find prospect applicants.

These sites also have job alerts you can sign up too so that if there's a job that's right up your alley, it can be emailed to you on a routine basis so you can apply for the ones you like.

2. Network - ask your friends. They're your best referrals. They know what it's like & they care about you so they won't just let you go work for a place that is terrible (without telling you about it in advance at the very least)

3. Update you resume - now employers hunt down applicants & review their resumes. If you don't make a good first impression, you won't get that first call or email. So better make sure your resume is as pretty as ever

These are the easiest & fastest ways for you get the job you want.

Have You Tried The New GMA (Greater Modular Access) Jobs Center kiosks?


If you haven't seen the "new" GMA (Greater Modular Access) Jobs Center kiosks, you should. It's a cool touch screen kiosk that's in Robinson's Mall on Fuente. It allows people to job-hunt while in the comfort of the mall -- best of all it's FREE.

You can only access limited sites though. Mostly it's DOLE and their jobs database, which isn't so bad. This isn't the type of thing you'd like to wait in line for though because it takes a long time for people to sign up and actually start sending their resumes from this machine. It's touch screen and there is limited sensorial activity going on.

It is an advancement I think but of course, it does not support a lot of people. It can support about 1 person for an hour then another one. But at least it's an option to paid ways of trying to hunt for a job.

Apart from job-hunting, applicants can also register and post their qualifications as well as do job matching that complements their course

The online employment kiosk is in line with the priority thrust of President Gloria M. Arroyo to provide 1M jobs per year and thus, reduce incidence of poverty.

Though the machine costs about P100T, the DOLE is giving the three LGUs of Cebu free kiosks in recognition and appreciation of their support and cooperation to the programs of DOLE. Definitely over-priced (yet again - remember the lamp posts in Mandaue?), if I do say so myself. But nevertheless it's there so let's put it to good use.
