MALOLOS CITY— A two-day job seekers boot camp will open at the Bulacan State University here today until Thursday.
Dubbed as “The Mar Roxas Job Seekers’ Training Camp,” it coincides with the opening of similar training camps nationwide.
Liberal President Senator Mar Roxas said the opening of Job Search training camps is designed to help prepare new college graduates look for jobs.
“Nu’ng ako’y bagong gradweyt, nadiskubre kong mahalaga na mahusay ang aking pagharap sa interviewer, maganda ang aking resume at maganda ang aking suot na damit pagharap ko sa aking magiging boss. Ngayong mahirap makahanap ng trabaho, sana’y malaki ang maitulong ng boot camp na ito sa mga bagong gradweyt ngayon,” Roxas said in a statement.
He noted that an estimated 490,000 university graduates are expected to join the already crowded employment market in the next two months when “the local economy is flat and jobs are scarce due to companies closing or downsizing because of the global financial crisis.”
Roxas said the new batch of job-seekers would have better chances of landing employment if they are well-prepared and equipped for their job-hunting activities.
The boot camps would be open to university graduates who wish to polish their job search skills for better and easy presentation of themselves to prospective employers.
It would also help the graduates with the packaging of their credentials.
The two-day training camps would be held in 30 cities nationwide, with each camp corridor accommodating 1,000 new graduates.
Trainers of companies from the Business Processing Association of the Philippines would talk on issues such as job search hints and strategies, Curriculum Vitae/bio-date writing and packaging, presentation of skills (oral and visual), dress and appearance, how to answer interview questions, tips on Business English grammar, how to write letters of introduction and tips in building self-confidence.
