SM City Marilao pulled in a thick crowd of job applicants during the recent job fair held in time for Labor Day, May 1.
The job fair, which was organized in cooperation with the Department of Labor and Employment Region III (DOLE-R3) together with the Provincial Public Employment Service Office (PESO) and the Municipal PESO unit in Marilao with the support of the Local Government of Marilao, generated a total of 3,614 job openings. Committed to connecting jobseekers in the community with career opportunities, SM Supermalls and partner government agencies bring companies together in one venue, showcasing a diverse range of industries, career fields, and salary levels.
A combined total of 41 companies participated in the job fair, offering various positions across the province, including SM Supermalls career opportunities. Out of the 278 applicants, at least 57 job seekers were Hired-On-The-Spot.
SM City Marilao Mall Manager Emmanuel Gatmaitan shares that the public-private partnership between SM and government agencies, through events including job fairs, is likely to create opportunities for growth. “At SM, we believe in fostering thriving communities where everyone can flourish. When jobs are created in our cities and towns, everyone benefits,” Gatmaitan added.
Jobseekers also took advantage of the One-Stop Shop, which provides service in processing relevant requirements that include SSS, PhilHealth, PhilSys, and Pag-IBIG membership.
The recent job fair is one of the many ways SM Supermalls contribute to nation-building by supporting the National and Local Government’s initiative of providing employment for every Filipino.
On May 10, jobhunters are invited to explore career opportunities at the upcoming job fair to be held at SM Center Pulilan.
