Successful Job Fair at SM Dasmari\u00f1as Builds Momentum for Nationwide<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Araw ng Kalayaan’ Event<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

SM Supermalls and its valued partners successfully mounted the SM Group Job Fair at SM City Dasmari\u00f1as last May 27, bringing together aspiring applicants, employers, and career opportunities under one accessible venue.\"\"<\/p>\n

Thousands of jobseekers gather at SM City Dasmari\u00f1as during the SM Retail Job Fair, opening doors to new careers and brighter opportunities for Filipinos.<\/em><\/p>\n

The one-day hiring event drew strong participation from jobseekers across Cavite and nearby areas, connecting applicants to career openings from some of the country\u2019s most recognized retail and service brands. Participating employers included Ace Hardware, Watsons, SM Store, SM Supermarket, SM Appliance Center, Sports Central, Toy Kingdom, Savemore, Alfamart, Goldilocks, National University, and many more under the SM Group.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 job seekers attended the event, interviewing with more than 20 companies offering opportunities across retail, operations, merchandising, customer service, finance, marketing, warehouse operations, pharmacy, and management roles. More than 140 were hired on the spot (HOTS) with several hundreds more for follow-up interviews beyond the job fair. This reflects the event\u2019s immediate impact in helping Filipinos move closer to meaningful employment.<\/p>\n

For many attendees, the event became more than just a job fair\u2014it became an opportunity for a fresh start and a brighter future.<\/p>\n

One hired-on-the-spot (HOTS) applicant shared how the SM Job Fair gave them renewed hope and confidence in finding meaningful work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, God! Kasi natanggap din naman agad ako at hindi ako nahirapan. Anong oras palang uuwi na ako kasi tanggap na ako. And this is my first time kasi umattend ng job fair. And hindi ako na disappoint kasi napaka accommodating ng staff kamo. At saka ambabait pa,\u201d shared Marissa Orias Urbano, hired at Toy Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Applicants line up early at the SM Retail Job Fair in search of fresh starts, <\/em>meaningful work, and future opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some successful hires plan to use their income to fund their education. Marcelo P. Magboo III who was hired at SM Appliance Center shared that he stopped his college education for almost two years because of financial problems. He participated in the SM Job Fair, \u201cnapagisip-isip ko po ngayon na, bakit hindi po ako magtrabaho para makapag-aral ulit\u2026 Masaya po (na natanggap), tumaas po yung chance na makapag-aral ako ulit. Thank you SM for giving me a chance to get a job\u2026 magkakaroon na ako ng pambayad sa sarili kong pag-aaral.\u201d<\/p>\n

Government and institutional partners also emphasized the importance of bringing opportunities closer to communities through accessible employment platforms.<\/p>\n

From resumes to real opportunities\u2014jobseekers connect directly with leading employers during the SM Retail Job Fair at SM City Dasmari\u00f1as.<\/em><\/p>\n

Companies also shared how SM job fairs allowed them to more easily connect with talents and fill-up their vacancies. \u201cSobrang nakaka-overwhelm\u2026 andaming tao. Yung mga area na meron akong vacancy dito, around Dasma, Imus, and Bacoor\u2026 super happy kasi na filled-in na. So, may mga na hired on the spot kami. Thank you so much SM Dasmari\u00f1as. Sana marami pang job fair,\u201d shared Daniela Capistrano, Talent Acquisition Officer from Goldilocks Bakeshop Inc.<\/p>\n

Initiatives like the SM Job Fairs help bridge jobseekers to immediate employment opportunities while making the process more accessible and community-based. Meanwhile, DICT highlighted the importance of digital readiness and future-ready learning as part of today\u2019s evolving workforce landscape through their booths.<\/p>\n

The initiative was made possible through strong collaboration among SM Supermalls, SM Retail, Jobstreet, PSAC Jobs, PCCI, ECOP, PHILEXPORT, PESO, LGUs, DICT, and other institutional partners committed to supporting employment generation and workforce development.<\/p>\n

Career opportunities across retail, customer service, operations, and management were made available during the SM Retail Job Fair.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

One-Stop Job Application Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM Job Fairs also integrate government support services to help streamline the hiring process for applicants. Participating agencies\u2014including the Social Security System (SSS), PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and other government partners\u2014help applicants process essential employment requirements on-site, making the experience faster, easier, and more accessible.<\/p>\n

This collaboration between government, industry, and private sector partners reflects a shared mission of helping more Filipinos move forward through employment and lifelong learning.<\/p>\n

The successful turnout at SM City Dasmari\u00f1as also builds momentum for the upcoming nationwide Araw ng Kalayaan Job Fairs this June 12 across participating SM malls nationwide.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Independence Day Job Fairs will go beyond traditional hiring by integrating digital upskilling and future-ready learning opportunities in partnership with DICT, TESDA, Jobstreet, and local government partners. Main event activities will be highlighted at SM City East Ortigas, featuring digital upskilling sessions and participation from Pasig City local government and various institutional partnerships.<\/p>\n

Partnerships between government, industry, and private sector groups help create more accessible employment opportunities for Filipinos.<\/em><\/p>\n

Applicants can also look forward to learning opportunities focused on AI, digital productivity, cybersecurity awareness, and workplace readiness\u2014supporting not only immediate employment, but long-term career growth in today\u2019s evolving workforce.<\/p>\n
