Internet preferred over dailies as IT job source

MANILA, Philippines – A groundbreaking survey1 has revealed that the Internet has already surpassed newspapers, possibly for the first time, as the preferred source of job openings among Filipino IT professionals.

However, the internet came second only after referrals as the top choice among job seekers, said XMG Inc., the ICT research company which conducted the survey.

Other sources of job openings (job fairs, walk in applications, internships) came in at third, while newspapers was at fourth and followed by headhunters in fifth place. None of the survey respondents indicated any job openings learned either through the radio or billboard.
