CSC: “Public service is deeper than that and that’s the beauty of it”
CSC — The Civil Service Commission and recruitment portal JobStreet have teamed up to offer more than 20,000 government jobs in 120 agencies in an online jobs fair.
JobStreet said that the goal of the partnership with the Civil Service Commission was to give talents access to relevant jobs in the government using digital tools available today.
According to JobStreet, young talents are facing challenges when it comes to job hunting due to the coronavirus pandemic, especially fresh graduates.
JobStreet Philippines Country Manager Philip Gioca said that JobStreet and CSC have successfully helped Filipinos find government jobs via online channels for 2 years since the coronavirus pandemic.
With this year’s online career fair, Gioca said that they hope they will be able to empower more candidates with future-ready opportunities.
According to JobStreet, the jobs fair will be held both on the JobStreet mobile app and website on September 14-23, which was also launched to commemorate the 122nd anniversary of the Civil Service Commission.

Based on a report, “future-ready” government positions will be available, which the Civil Service Commission said are all fulfilling since they’re also a form of public service.
“[A] government job is highly challenging and rewarding as well… Hindi ito kayod para sa sweldo lang… Public service is deeper than that and that’s the beauty of it,” CSC Commissioner Aileen Lazada said during a virtual briefing.
According to Lizada, everyone is welcome to apply despite eligibility status.
JobStreet Head of Marketing Kim Viray said that Filipino jobseekers are also “looking for more than competitive salaries” when job hunting. Viray added that Filipino jobseekers are “looking for sense of purpose” and working for the government is also a way to give back.
Those jobseekers who are interested to join can register for the Government Online Career Fair via JobStreet website.
