CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PAMPANGA — A total of 15 job applicants were hired on the spot during the joint job recruitment activity of the Pampanga Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in partnership with the iQor Philippines at the Benigno Aquino Hall, here, the other day.
The said applicants were among the 103-job seekers who flocked to the venue to participate in the job recruitment activity. Of which, 38 are still in-process for final interview.
“Masaya na may mga lumalapit na opportunity sa amin kasi ako sa Masantol pa ako, bandang dagat iyon, walang masyadong opportunity doon. Minsan pumupunta pa kami sa ibang city and minsan sa Manila, pero dahil sa programa ni Gov at IQor, abot-kamay na namin ang oportunidad,” said Vincent Lacap, one of the applicants.
This is in line with the 12-point development agenda of Governor Dennis ‘Delta’ Pineda to ensure that appropriate training and employment opportunities will be given to the labor force.
According to Pampanga PESO Manager Luningning Vergara, the provincial government has been partnering with the iQor Philippines in providing linkage between job seekers and companies with job vacancies for many years now.
“Throughout the years, IQor and the local government of Pampanga have had a good relationship with one another. This is not only about the company itself, but we are also considering the needs of the community and the recovery of the economy after the pandemic,” said Christopher Cañero, IQor recruitment coordinator.
The job fair offered around 800 job openings for customer service representatives (CSR), support, and leadership positions such as supervisors, managers, and, operations managers.
Qualifications for the said positions require applicants to have at least finished high school and possess good communication skills.
