An internet facility for jobseekers known as Phil-Jobnet is now open at the Capitol compound for them to match their employability here and abroad.

The Zambosur Phil-Jobnet Center has 11 units on-line computers which have direct access to Department of Labor and Employment website -  http://philjobnet.dole.gov.ph  Through it jobseekers, may sign up and post their working skills and abilities for employers to match job vacancies. 

Provincial Public Employment Service Office (PESO) manager Tyronne Singgo said the Zambosur e-center since its launching last January 17 is accommodating jobseekers to visit the dole website free of charge so long that it is about job hunting and not for any purposes. 

Singgo clarified that the Phil-Jobnet is within the Zambosur computer center at the AEC foodcourt vicinity of the Capitol Compound.   Each jobseeker is given at least 20 minutes to browse the Phil-Jobnet but so long that not so many customers around, jobseekers may be allowed to extend their time. 

Undersecretary Lourdes Trasmonte of the Workers Welfare Division represented DOLE Secretary Marianito Roque here upon invitation of the City Government to grace its Jobs Fair as one highlight of the Pasalamat Festival.

Governor Aurora E. Cerilles for her part said the Zambosur Phil-Jobnet Center is her way of facilitating job-matching for prospective employees from Pagadian City and Zamboanga del Sur to the employment world.

Governor Cerilles, expressed her gratefulness to President Gloria M. Arroyo for bringing the jobs right in just a click of the mouse.  “This is one effective means of bringing together the employers and jobseekers in a convenient venue, so as to provide access to available local and overseas vacancies as well as facilitate jobs and skills matching opportunities

Usec Trasmonte, who hails from Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, in her message emphasized that the Phil-Jobnet is an electronic learning center with the modern technology.  She hoped that with the Phil-Jobnet it would enhance the employability of the Zambosurians.

“Jobs in an air-conditioned rooms are scarce this time, we should now look into agriculture and fishing business as well as develop our natural resources,” Trasmonte hinted..  (Remai S. Alejado/Zambosur Press Bureau)
