Southern Leyte State U organizes job fair to fast-track jobseekers, employers recruitment
Southern Leyte State U’s Public Employment Service Office (PESO) and Office of Student Affairs and Services co-spearheaded the conduct of the University's Job Fair 2022 alongside with Local Government Unit (LGU)'s PESO of the Municipality of Sogod on June 6, 2022.
The job fair aims to fast-track the meeting of job seekers and prospective employers and recruitment agencies in one venue on a specific date. It is deemed beneficial to the applicants as it will reduce cost, time, and effort on their part.

Tan, Provincial Head of DOLE Southern Leyte Field Office Ms. Eden Ligaya Y. Golong, and another DOLE representative Ms. Mary Jane B. Abenoja. Among the participating agencies of the job fair are local employers such as Mlhuiller Financial Services, DES Marketing, Puregold Price Club Inc. Sogod, Nueve, Jas Manpower, Crispy King, Rose Pharmacy, Palawan Pawnshop, J&F Department Store, Gaisano Capital Sogod, Refi Micro Finance, May Abohan, Ninja Van and LCTC Allied Services.
