Twenty-one year old Leovymae Cua of Sta. Barbara, Iloilo, was among those who went early for the jobs fair. She was looking for a job to help her pursue her studies and the job opening that is closely related to her Bachelor of Arts major in English degree.
Cua is supposed to be in her third year this opening of classes but the company where she worked to help her finance her studies closed last April leaving her jobless.
She said a good Samaritan just gave her money for her fare to be able to go to the jobs fair. She is currently
living with her aunt’s family as she and her other siblings were left by her mother in the care of her grandmother who died already.
Her father also passed away when she was young. Despite the roadblock she encountered
during her first attempt to submit her resume to the representative of one of the participating agencies in the jobs fair, Cua persevered and submitted her resume to the other companies.
The representative told her she lacked the 72 units required by their company. “I really need a job not only for my studies but also to have an income to help supplement my uncle’s earnings as a driver for our daily needs,” said Cua, adding that her aunt has also asked the help of their local officials.
Cua finished her secondary years through the Alternative Learning System program of the Department of Education at the Iloilo National High School through odd jobs.
Like Cua, Clemente Soriano and six other friends, who are all fresh graduates, trooped to the jobs fair to try their luck.
Clemente said this is the fourth time he participated in a job fair.
