Taking advantage of the advances in the internet and with its extensive audience came the TWASP On-Line Job Application made possible by the joint efforts of the TWASP’s HRD and MIS Department with web developer, Mr. Mark Talahiban. The jobseeker would need to log on to the TWASP Website, www.twasp.com and head for the Job Opportunities section where a listing of job vacancies and its corresponding qualifications are posted. The TWASP On-Line Application is fairly standard in form as with other on-line applications containing sections of personal information, references, educational background, etc. A “Save and Notify TWASP” button is available to the jobseeker to automatically send his/her accomplished form to TWASP’s HR Department and which can only be accessed by an authorized HRD personnel to ensure the applicant’s information private and secure. On-line job applications, like with the TWASP ON-Line Job Application, is a preference for most companies nowadays. It cuts costs, saves valuable time and effort. If nothing else, it kills fewer trees. - Vio E. Salvador |
