    Gained valuable government experience, developed skills, and built networks through flexible, yet temporary, job order roles at DOLE.
    The good thingsWorking as a job order (JO) employee at the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in the Philippines can have several advantages, despite the temporary nature of the employment. Here are some positive aspects: Experience in Government Work: Working at DOLE provides valuable experience in the public sector. This can be beneficial for your resume and future job prospects, especially if you're interested in a long-term career in government or labor-related fields. Skill Development: You can develop a wide range of skills, including administrative, management, and specialized skills related to labor laws, employment standards, and public service. Networking Opportunities: Being part of DOLE allows you to connect with professionals in labor and employment, which can be advantageous for future career opportunities. Exposure to Public Service: You gain firsthand experience in public service, which can be fulfilling if you're passionate about contributing to society and helping workers and employers navigate labor issues. Flexibility: Job order positions often come with flexible working conditions, which may allow you to balance work with other commitments or pursuits. Potential for Regularization: While not guaranteed, excelling in a job order role may increase your chances of being considered for a regular position if one becomes available. Learning Opportunities: Working in DOLE can provide insights into the inner workings of labor policies, employment standards, and the dynamics of the workforce in the country, which is invaluable for anyone interested in labor issues. While job order positions are typically less secure and do not offer the same benefits as regular government positions, they can be a stepping stone to more permanent opportunities and offer valuable experience in the meantime.
    The challengesWorking as a job order (JO) employee at the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) offers valuable government experience, skill development, networking opportunities, and exposure to public service. It provides flexibility and the potential for future regularization. However, challenges include job insecurity, lack of benefits, and the temporary nature of the role. Despite these challenges, it can be a great stepping stone for a career in the public sector.

    I realized that working in the government office is definitely not suitable for me, for some reasons that it was not the way I've studied my profession but it was a good experience.
    The good thingsI got to engage to more people and experience a different field of practice aside from being in a hospital or clinic setting.
    The challengesWorking as an intern, has a limited scope of job and I've have a lot of workloads that aren't finished on time that keeps on adding each day. Nevertheless, my co-workers and superiors was always there to guide me to be able to accomplished my task.
