JOB SEEKERS URGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CSC PORTAL

THE Civil Service Commission (CSC) urged job seekers who want to work in government to explore opportunities through its Job Portal at csc.gov.ph/career.

CSC chairperson Karlo Nograles on Tuesday highlighted the portal’s significance in offering aspiring government employees detailed information and easy access to a wide range of job openings within the public sector.

Nograles said job opportunities in the government continue to grow due to the constant need for good and dedicated workers to deliver quality public service.

He said the CSC Job Portal provides an easy way to search for vacant positions in government agencies nationwide.

In accordance with CSC Resolution No. 2000221 dated Feb. 4, 2020, the CSC has implemented a unified platform for publishing vacant government positions on its website.

National government agencies, local government units, and state universities and colleges are required to submit their lists of authorized first, second, and third level vacant positions in both electronic and printed formats to the concerned CSC field office (FO).

The electronic copy is forwarded to the CSC regional office for publication on the CSC website, while the printed copy is displayed on the bulletin board of the CSC FO.

According to Nograles, applicants can use the Job Portal’s filters such as position title, agency name and region to search for available positions.

Aside from the position title and place of assignment, the job postings also indicate the salary or job grade; qualification standards that need to be met by the applicant such as eligibility, education, training, work experience, and competency; documents to be submitted; and instructions on how to apply.

Nograles reminded jobseekers that all job applications or questions should be directed to the agency concerned.

He also advised applicants to carefully review the qualification standards and competencies required for each position, emphasizing that eligibility alone does not guarantee a permanent appointment.

“The government is not only the biggest employer nationally or locally, and it also provides the opportunity for Filipinos to attain security of tenure,” Nograles said.

“We encourage qualified Filipinos, including our fresh graduates, job shifters, and civil service eligibles to join the civil service and contribute to our nation’s development,”  he added.
