PESO Job Fair – Did You Learn Anything?

Last week’s PESO job fair was one of the biggest I’d seen in years. When I dropped by to snap some pictures, I was amazed at the hundreds of applicants that flocked to the tourism hall hoping to bag jobs.

Right after the event, I got some messages from some of the applicants. I can’t say for certain if many were employed, but I did hear from some who didn’t fare well at the job fair. One applicant mentioned feeling even more hopeless than ever.

If there’s one thing I learned in life, it’s the fact that if you want something bad enough, you just got to keep on going after it. Finding a job is never easy. Finding a stable, rewarding job is even harder.

I personally know how it feels. I was a job seeker too not too long ago and it took me ten years to get to where I am. I got here because I never gave up and I always had the initiative to go through loops and hoops to find a job. It’s important to always persevere, stay positive, be patient, be resourceful and endure.

Don’t ever lose hope.

Cheers to Ma’am Juvy Paza and her team for organizing last week’s event. Here’s hoping there will be more job fairs to come.
