Over 11,000 Urgent Jobs In Cebu
Mynimo.com, a leading local internet job board is helping to fill more than 11,000 urgent job vacancies in Cebu. As of press time, 91 employers from across all industries have signed up for its highly anticipated career event.
Notable companies such as international giant Amazon.com will be recruiting at the event to fill their target of 1,000 employees for their Cebu site by end of year. Other famous local companies such as Aboitiz Construction Group, Bluewater Resorts, Hi-Precision, and Virgina Food are also going to be present to hire top talent looking to join their organizations.
To date, over 6,000 applicants have registered to join the 1-day career event in SM City Cebu on Saturday, May 26, 2018. The organizers already recorded a 22% increase job seeker interest for the event compared to the same period last year.
The organizers are expecting 68% of the event’s applicants to be college graduates and almost 70% of job seeking attendees to have had prior work experience.
Gaps identified
In a survey among the event’s participating employers and applicants, Mynimo has identified the education sector as having the highest talent shortage in Cebu, with a ratio of 11 job opportunities per education applicant; followed by the BPO sector with 9 jobs for every BPO applicant, and the sales sector with 5 jobs for each sales applicant.
“The talent shortage is a significant lost opportunity for Cebu. Counting the unfilled vacancies in the BPO and education sector alone, our conservative estimates indicate that the local economy will potentially lose at least 80 million pesos in circulation every month,” said Mynimo.com president, Wesley Chiongbian.
As for the surplus in talent, the survey identified that professionals in the hotel industry top the list with 71 candidates competing for 1 hotel job vacancy, followed by legal professionals with 17 applicants for every legal job, and 7 applicants for every manufacturing job in Cebu. “Unemployed professionals in these highly competitive sectors may want explore and take advantage of the opportunities in industries with less competition. This will help them find employment quickly,” Chiongbian added.
Mynimo.com has been helping to fix the job market gap in the country for over 10 years through its easy to use job website www.mynimo.com. Their commitment to accomplish their mission has pushed them to be more visible both online and on the ground with its annual career event called the Happy Jobs Fair, which is now going onto its 5th year. The event will place on Saturday, May 26, 2018, from 9AM to 6PM at the SM City Cebu Trade Hall.
