Who’s Hiring? Score a New Job at Monster.com’s Virtual Job Fair

Job seekers in the Philippines can connect with employers for hundreds of vacant jobs – without having to leave home.

Young, skilled and determined job seekers in the Philippines have an opportunity to directly interact with companies searching for fresh talent at the upcoming Monster.com Philippines Virtual Career Fair.

This is the fifth time Monster.com (Philippines), a leading online and career recruitment solutions provider, has run the popular event, taking place this month from February 23 to 27.

Combining a number of employers with vacancies for a huge range of jobs, the career fair aims to virtually connect local skilled professionals with new job opportunities. Companies participating in the upcoming Virtual Career Fair (VCF) include a range of business process outsourcing (BPO), Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Service (ITES) businesses, and more.

At the event, students and candidates across industries and experience levels, will have the opportunity to communicate with top employers and speak with recruiters over Skype to find out more about available jobs. Participating companies will have the opportunity to interview and interact with a breadth of talent in an environment that optimises time and efficiency.

To start linking up with recruiters and HR teams from across the country and the world, budding job seekers simply need to register on Monster.com and upload their updated resume.

“The Monster.com Philippines Virtual Career Fair 2015 is an efficient and exciting way for local job seekers to push their profiles to companies on the hunt for top talent – and they don’t even need to leave home to be interviewed,” said Sanjay Modi, Managing Director of Monster.com (India, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong).

“The dynamic talent market and flourishing economy in the Philippines means more companies than ever are looking for new people to join their growing businesses. Job seekers who take part in the Virtual Career Fair are more than likely to meet their new future boss.”

In addition to finding a new job, participants also have many chances to walk away with prizes and exclusive job opportunities.

Monster.com’s ongoing selfie contest asks job seekers to “Wake up the Monster Inside You!” by snapping a selfie – alone or with colleagues – with a caption on why they want to join the Monster Philippines Virtual Career Fair.

They can fill out a short contest information form on Monster.com’s Facebook page and share selfies on social media with the hashtag #Monsterworknplay

Winning entries will receive an iPad mini, and one lucky winner will be invited to dinner and networking with the heads of top Philippines BPO firms and Monster.com’s Managing Director (India, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong).
