00:06under the program given by the President as a sufficient service for all job fairs.
00:11This is Noel Talahay's story.
00:16Judel was relieved because finally, after three months of searching for a job,
00:22she was hired on the spot in a job fair.
00:25I'm happy because I won't be staying at home anymore. I will have a new income.
00:31Judel was hired by a company as a promodiser.
00:35That's why she's not staying at home anymore.
00:38It's because of the daily expenses, to buy food.
00:45Judel was the only one who was hooked on the nationwide job fair
00:49organized by the Department of Labor and Employment, or DOLE,
00:51under the program given by the President as a sufficient service for all job fairs.

01:14The objective or goal of the department is to provide decent and productive job opportunities to our countrymen.
01:24For Judel, these activities are a big help to someone like her who is having a hard time finding a job.
01:31For me, I came here because it's my chance to find a job.
01:37At this time, it's hard to find a job.
01:39There are also job fair sites from Region 1 to Region 11,
01:45including the Caldeliera Administrative Region, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Caraga.
