Choosing the Right Job. Part of the Series for Resources on SM Marikina Jobs Fair.

Marikina will be holding the 3rd (third) SM Marikina Jobs Fair this June. In anticipation of this jobs fair,you will find in Marikenya site tips and guides on how to win “that” SM job.

Every one dream of getting the perfect job, receiving good salary with nice benefits, and having own savings or even a checking account. First things first, you must find that job. In finding the right job, it is important that we have a clear picture of the kind of job that we wanted to get, and if that job matches our qualifications. More than that, there are other factors to consider in finding the right job for you.

Location. More and more MarikeÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â±os are now finding jobs within or close to Marikina. In a study conducted by the International Labor Organization in Marikina, some respondents said that they working in Makati or Ortigas area means prestige but if you will only get a salary less than 10,000 pesos, it would not be enough to compensate for the cost of transportation and other expenses like food. It is the very reason why there are a lot of applicants for SM Marikina.

Commute or Transportation. Accessibility of the work place is very important. Are there public transportation in the area for commuters? Would it require long commute? For those with vehicles, this factor is also very important because of the escalating price of gasoline. Not to mention that if you get to work with a vehicle, you always have to worry about parking.

Benefits. The good thing about call center companies is that they offer good benefits for their employees. For SM and manufacturing companies though, the sad thing is that they are into contractualization and most probably than not, do not offer medical or other employees benefits aside from SSS, Pag-ibig and Philhealth.

Work Environment. This does not only mean the physical environment but also the kind of people you are going to work with. In call center industries, there are also quite a number of “fall-outs” especially for employees being assigned in “graveyard shifts.”

Job Security. Unfortunately, for those in the rank and file (in SM, this is the term for salesladies, baggers, etc.) and in the manufacturing (factory workers), hiring are usually in five to six months basis only. It would be very hard to find a company that promise regularization after a six-month contract in these areas.

Opportunities for Advancement. Love companies that provide opportunities for their employees to be trained, exposed and be promoted. You may ask the interviewer if they provide for employees development.
