MORE than 4,000 job opportunities will be offered during the overseas and local job fair on Nov. 28 and 29 at the Lamberto Macias Sports and Cultural Center in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

Provincial Public Employment Services Office (PESO) focal person Jose Ramon Benedicto said Trioceanic Manning and Shipping Inc. seeks to hire 4,000 fishermen from Negros Oriental to work in accredited Chinese vessels.

“These vessels are bound for Argentina, Japan, Cape Mauritius, Fiji Island and other neighboring Asian countries,” he said.

Qualified to apply are males aged 18- to 30-years old who have completed elementary or high school and are physically fit to work.

Interested applicants may bring bio-data with recent 2×2 ID photo, NSO-authenticated birth certificate and latest NBI clearance.

Trioceanic will also hold another recruitment activity on Nov. 30 at the Siaton municipal gymnasium, Benedicto said.

Local employers participating in the two-day jobs fair are Qualfon Dumaguete, Robinson’s Place Dumaguete, and Island Merchants Corp., the distributor of Nestle Philippines in Negros island.

Also joining the job fair is the Simon Group of Companies based in Cebu which is set to hire workers for local jobs in engineering fields such as civil, chemical and mechanical engineering.

Benedicto said the job fair will help the provincial government address local unemployment through the “Magdegamo Equals Trabaho” program.
