CSC job fair opens 700 job vacancies

Over 700 job vacancies will be up for grabs during the online job fair spearheaded by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) this month.

In an online briefing on Monday, CSC Commissioner Aileen Lizada said they’ve already registered 729 vacancies from 76 government agencies, which will join their 2020 Government Online Career Fair (GOCF).

The event will be from September 14 to 18 in partnership with JobStreet.com.

The participating agencies include Land Transportation Office, Land Bank of the Philippines, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Department of Education and other national and local government offices.

Lizada said the number of vacancies could still increase since they extended the deadline for participating agencies to register up to September 10, 2020.

“So for the other agencies, who would want to join [in the job fair], this is the time,” Lizada said.

The job fair is part of the commemoration of CSC’s 120th anniversary and the celebration of Civil Service month.

Aside from the job fair, Lizada said they will conduct an online photography contest, recognition of notable human resources management awardees, and a public sector leader and human resources forum.

Lizada said they will also be issuing advisories in their website later this month regarding the treats such as discounts from some stores, which government officials and employees would be able to avail of. Samuel P. Medenilla
