January 2009 Philippine Job Fairs and Livelihood Training Seminars

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas vacation. It’s now 2009 and I hope that everyone is ready for more learning.

Anyway, if I may share a personal observation, I notice that lot of people resign from their jobs during the first quarter of the year. Maybe because you have extra money after receiving your Christmas bonus and 13th month pay and job opportunities are coming up because it’s college and university graduation season.

I remember that I tendered my resignation letter from my very last corporate job several years ago during this time too.

Anyhow, for this monthly installment of exposition and trade fair schedules, I’m featuring three job fairs happening towards the end of the month. Do check them out and see if you’ll be interested. Of course there’s also the usual business and livelihood training courses from TRC and Negoskwela just in case you’re planning to start your own business this year.

As always, these events will happen in Metro Manila, but you are encouraged to contact the sponsors and organizers to check if they have local partners in your province. Furthermore, the details of the following events were checked for accuracy during the time of posting. So please contact the respective offices to confirm the schedules before planning your dates. Thank you.
