The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has scheduled more job fairs throughout the country for the rest of 2011 to meet its target of posting one million job vacancies this year.

Acting DOLE Secretary Danilo Cruz said these are a follow-up to the May 1 Labor Day job fairs where 7,169 jobseekers were hired on the spot.

“We have more job fairs coming so those who were not able to visit our 2011 Labor Day Job Fairs will still have the opportunity to grab their dream job in the incoming fairs," Cruz said in a news release posted on the DOLE website.

“The best way to successfully avail of these job opportunities in the job fairs is to hone up, upgrade, or retool on the skills necessary to qualify for in-demand occupations," he added.
