IN a bid to further provide better jobs in the country, Jollibee Foods Corp. is set to stage a career fair in Davao City, dubbed as "#BeelongInJollibee Career Fair" slated on December 9 at the NCCC Mall of Davao Activity Center.

With over 50 managerial and crew job vacancies in the city, the company intends to level up the career paths of jobseekers and potential professionals of any age in thuis part of the country.

"This is actually the first time Jollibee is mounting its own career fair to introduce what we can offer as a potential employer and, at the same time, attract prospective candidates for our various vacancies. It also gives us an opportunity to better understand the needs and preferences of jobseekers in different parts of the country," human resource manager for talent management M'Lai Villagracia said in an online interview.

She added that the company plans to run the event in key cities in Visayas and Mindanao first, and eventually bring it to Metro Manila and other key areas in Luzon next year.

"We hope to find candidates that can address the over 50 vacant positions that we have in Davao," she said.

The fair is open to all jobseekers willing to be part of the leading Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) in Asia.

Organizers are expecting some 200 applicants to participate in the event.

"We provide continuous career development programs and competitive compensation and benefits," Villagracia said.

She also assured that Jollibee employees would enjoy working for the company and feel a strong sense of belongingness by providing a work environment that enables them to discover their full potential not merely as career professionals, but as people.

More than just a mere career fair, #BeelongInJollibee will also feature the company's programs and contribution in the food service industry. Jollibee is an iconic Filipino brand with presence in other countries.

"We invite everyone to visit our Career Fair on December 9 at NCCC Mall of Davao, whether you are interested in working for Jollibee or even just curious to learn about our company and the food service industry," Villagracia said.

After the #BeelongInJollibee in Davao, the company will also stage the same event in Cebu City (December 18) and Cagayan De Oro City (December 21).
