ROTA\u2014Students from the Dr. Rita H. Inos Junior and Senior High School joined a job fair conducted by TanHoldings last Friday at the Chamorro Bucks\u2019 Auditorium.<\/p>\n

A mix of 10th, 11th, and 12th graders filled out and turned in application forms to the Human Resource personnel of TanHoldings-affiliate companies, such as Let\u2019s Go Tour, Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan, Kanoa Resort, Pacific Oriental, Inc., Saipan Tribune, and Century Tours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking for Let\u2019s Go sounds cool. I get to drive a Polaris Razr, tour the island, and meet people [tourists]. It\u2019s nice to work and have fun doing it instead of just sitting and doing nothing when school is on break,\u201d said junior Jamil Barcinas after handing in his application form to Let\u2019s Go Tour\u2019s Ed Arriola.<\/p>\n

Barcinas and his classmates, during the job fair, watched video clips of Let\u2019s Go Tour, while other students who expressed interest in applying for a job in TanHoldings\u2019 affiliates were briefed on each company\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, I had second thoughts of coming to the job fair. But after hearing the opportunities that await us, I found the offers interesting and may give it a shot. I am kind of thinking now where to go after I finish school, so this job fair gives me an option,\u201d said senior Angelie Marie Guiang, who filled out an application form from Kanoa Resort.<\/p>\n

Guiang\u2019s classmate\u2014Keone Hocog\u2014is moving to Guam after her senior year and she is happy to find out that Fiesta Resort also operates there so she is considering applying with the company once she\u2019s settled in.<\/p>\n

Dr. Rita H. Inos Junior and Senior High School councilor Elvira Mesngon helped TanHoldings facilitate the job fair and was thankful for the opportunities given to Rota students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really appreciate TanHoldings\u2019 kindness and efforts as they come here and have this job fair. It allows our kids and other members of the community to find hope beyond our waters. It helps our students see what other options they have because we know Rota has limited resources,\u201d Mesngon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they decide to work at TanHoldings, it will be a great experience for them as they get ready for college. They may even be able to save money to pay for their own education or if they decide to stay and work hard, they will earn their way up in the company,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

TanHoldings president Jerry Tan, who led the team that conducted the job fair and had an outreach program on Rota from last Thursday to Saturday, said the company wants to help stimulate the island\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTanHoldings is a local company operating in Micronesia for the past 45 years and 35 years in the CNMI. While Saipan has recovered economically, Rota\u2019s economy is still depressed. Thus, we have decided to reach out to the Rota community and invite all high school students, veterans and everyone to consider job opportunities at TanHoldings on Saipan until such time when new jobs are created on Rota. There are many talented people on Rota, including our students, that could contribute to CNMI economy and be part of our workforce,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tan, along with TanHoldings vice president for finance Eli Arago, vice president for business development Ivan Quichocho, vice president for corporate business development Alex Sablan, vice president for corporate affairs Catherine Attao-Toves, and TSL Foundation executive director Merlie Tolentino also led the turnover ceremony of donated shirts from the Tan Siu Lin Foundation for all the school\u2019s students and teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
