MANILA – Up to 800 jobs across companies controlled by businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan are up for grabs at the two-day MVP Companies Career Fest 2012 that started on Monday.

Leah Villanueva, SPi Global vice president for human resources and talent management, told InterAksyon.com that they expect about 24,000 job seekers to flock Megatrade Hall 2 in SM Megamall, more than the previous year’s 16,000 applicants.

Opportunities in finance and audit, admin, logistics and procurement, broadcasting, community relations and public affairs, healthcare, human resources, legal, sales and aftersales, and technical positions are open to applicants.

This year's MVP Companies Career Fest is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Job seekers can also get valuable tips and advice from inspirational talks and learning sessions to be led by executives and talents of the MVP group of companies.
