Where To Find The Job Vacancies and When do You Get Hired

The elections is fast approaching and of course with it is the ban on hiring by the government offices, government owned and controlled corporations and all its instrumentalities. It means vacancies in government offices are on hold until the ban on hiring is lifted. 

"The Appointment or hiring of new employees; creation or filling up of new positions; 

promotion or giving of salary increases, remuneration or privilege. (Sec. 261 (g), OEC)" 

 is a prohibited act as contained in Comelec Resolution No. 9385 dated April 3, 2012. 

The prohibition takes effect on March 29, 2013 (Friday) and ends on May 13, 2013 (Monday). So graduates, you can submit your applications to government offices but do not expect to be called for interview or examination during the prohibited period. Make your follow ups after May 13, 2013. By that time government offices are ready to hire. Although technically speaking, government offices can do interviews, administer examinations and do the selection process during that period so that when the ban is lifted they are ready to hire.

Where to find the jobs? Search the internet for government offices where the vacancies are. Normally, they have it posted in their site or the site of Civil Service Commission. Visit the sites of government offices in your locality to see the job postings.

Just to clarify things here, the private sector is not covered by this prohibited acts. It means the private establishments and employers may hire their employees even during the prohibited period and they are not answerable to the law or to the Republic of the Philippines.

Get qualified and try government service. Good luck and hope to see you in the service of the Filipinos.
