“Bale ang career history ko po is sa [CONFIDENTIAL] Supermarket as a heading supervisor under fresh department. Naglast po siya ng 10 months or 11 months. Bale nag-resign ako kay [CONFIDENTIAL] supermarket for career goal. Bale nag-umpisa ako maghanap ng trabaho online which is nakita ko nga po si PhilJobNet. Doon lang ako nag-umpisa magstart mag-browse maghanap ng mga trabaho na qualified po ako. Then after noon, nagpunta din po ako sa PESO Malvar para magpa-assist sa kanila kung paano.” Mildred narrated.

From casually browsing the PhilJobNet prior to her resignation to applying to different jobs inside the portal, Mildred found her ideal site which will eventually help her in seamlessly applying and thriving the hiring process.

She pointed out the key features of the site which helped her to easily track her progress and the status of her application.

“Nag-apply ako ng marami kung ano ang fitted sa aking job description. Luckily natanggap ako kay Aeropostle. Malaking tulong si PhilJobNet kasi mag-apply ka lang through online hindi mo na kailangan pumunta through company hindi na magiging hassle sa pamasahe, hindi mo na tatanungin kung hiring ba sila, hindi kana magbabakasali through online kasi makikita mo na kung ano ang kailangan nila kung qualified ka ba sa posisiyon na ganun, Malaking tulong talaga ang online lalong-lalo na ang PhilJobNet,” she remarked.

The user-friendly interface of the PhilJobNet website enabled Mildred to be informed of the new notifications as to the next hiring procedure. “Dito sa PhilJob.net, dito ko na-experience yung journey ko na active employer sila. Kasi once nag-apply ako kay PhilJob.net nakaka-receive ako ng email na qualified ka, na may sasabihin nila sayo na moving forward, wait for the interview ka, unlike sa other online job portal mag aantay ka talaga, hindi mo alamkung natanggap nila yung resume o na-seen ba nila,” Mildred recalled.

She further emphasized that with the proliferation of various text scams offering job opportunities online, Mildred said that PhilJobNet is a website that led her to verified and trusted companies that really offer legitimate vacancies and sound hiring processes.

“Dito kay PhilJob.net owned by government, i-a-assist ka talaga nila hanggang dulo. Wala ka talagang iintindihin. Hindi ka magdodoubt kung scam ba to or what kasi ang dami sa panahon na nagloloko sa online jobs,” she said.

Just this July 2024, Mildred landed her new job as an employee of a clothing brand in a known mall located in Lipa City, Batangas. With gratitude, she expressed her utmost appreciation to the Department of Labor and Employment for providing PhilJobNet – a portal that bridged her way into a work opportunity that she hopes will eventually help her better provide for her family.

“Gusto ko lang din po magpasalamat kay PhilJobNet and also kay PESO Malvar sa pag-a-assist sa akin hanggang makarating ako dito kay Aeropostale sa aking work at lalong lalo na sa DOLE, salamat at may ganitong programa na binuo. Maraming, maraming salamat po.”
