DoLE on Facebook; Labor Day Celebration

The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) will be using social media to facilitate employment and increase the awareness of the public on programs and services available to them.

DoLE would be launching its official social network accounts on Facebook and Twitter on May 1, Labor Day said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz. Since more people are utilizing social networking sites, DoLE will inform the public about department activities through these sites.

 “Through Facebook and Twitter, jobseekers, for instance, will know that they need to pre-register with Phil-JobNet through which they will be pre-screened by employers who will participate at the Job and Livelihood Fair on Labor Day,” Baldoz said.

“This will give them a higher chance of landing a job when they present themselves to the participating employers during the job fair,” Baldoz added.

Alongside the launching of DoLE in Facebook and Twitter, Baldoz also urged jobseekers to pre-register for the nationwide job and livelihood fair during the Labor Day celebration.

DoLE’s job search and matching system, the Phil-JobNet is already open for online pre-registration. They are inviting jobseekers to “log on to Phil-JobNet and make themselves available to a wide roster of employers, who are expected to bring about 30,000 job vacancies to the job and livelihood fair.”
