Themed “Pagsuong sa Hamon ng Panibagong Bukas”, the Kalayaan 2022 Trabaho Negosyo, Kabuhayan (TNK) Job & Business Fair will welcome both pre-registered and walk-in clients in adaption to the hybrid recruitment process and new normal. All participants shall be required to follow strict health and safety protocols.

“One good thing is that if they are pre-registered, they won’t have to go through a long registration line during the job fair,” Pantinople said.

A mini job fair and onsite pre-registration of the Kalayaan Job Fair is set for June 10-11, 22, 9:00 am-4:00 pm at the Activity Area, Third Level, NCCC Mall Buhangin. Ten companies are present for this event.

Pantinople said that walk-in clients will also be allowed.

“We encourage also na mag-adto didto ang dili maka-access and dili pre-registered, we cater walk-in applicants basta willing mag-apply even those from outside Davao City (We encourage also those who were not able to access the form and are not pre-registered to come. We cater to walk-in applicants for as long as they are willing to apply even those who are from outside Davao City),” Pantinople said.

She said that for this year’s job fair more companies participated as they have reopened under the new normal.  CIO
