SANTA BARBARA—A two two-day Victorey Job Fair will be held here from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Orbos Gymnasium on July 30-31 for job-seekers in the town and Pangasinan.

Mayor Reynaldo Velasco said his long-time job generation partner at Wu Kong (S) Pte. Ltd. will arrive to accept applications and evaluate the qualifications of potential employees.

“Shortly after I assumed as new mayor, my office has been swamped with job applicants for possible slots in the municipal government. Since there are not many available vacancies, we cannot accept them all and we also just can’t get rid of civil servants out of respect for Civil Service Commission (CSC) rules,” he said.

As an alternative, Velasco alerted his Japanese friend Ito Odajima, administrative officer of Wu Kong (S) Pte. Ltd., to open new job opportunities for those qualified among his constituents.

Velasco said that Wu Kong has 600 job openings for production assistant supervisors who are 26-35 years old and graduates  in engineering courses; production team leaders who are 23-30 years old engineering graduates; safety engineers who are 23 to 26 years engineering graduates;

Office staff personnel who are20 to 26 years and graduate in any 4-year course like psychology; factory workers who are 18-28 years old, at least high school graduates, welders who are18 to 28 years with knowledge and skills in welding and fabrication, and maintenance crew who are 21-28 years old and graduates in a  vocational course or  mechanical engineering).

Applicants will be asked to submit their bio-data, SSS employment history and 2 x 2 pictures.

He hinted that the employer is particular about personal appearance of its employees and therefore advised particularly the male applicants to be presentable when applying.

Those who will pass the screening will be given free medical examination in a mobile clinic to be provided by Wu Kong.

Velasco  said that it was not difficult for Wu Kong to employ Pangasinenses  since   those who were previously hired rendered a good account of themselves  and were known to be hard working, professionals and honest.

Velasco already conducted at least five similar job fairs in Central Pangasinan that provided jobs to more than 500 workers.

Wu Kong, an ISO 9001-2000 certified company engaged in the manufacture of pre-fabricated wood, glass and steel components of  Japanese houses using state-of-the-art technology, has a  working  partnership with Suzuki Philippines.—LM
