When and where

JobQuestPH’s own page lists the September Job Fair Marketplace on 29 September 2026 at Megatrade Hall 3 in Mandaluyong. The SMX listing for the same name, hall, and date was still up on 24 September 2026.

A virtual fair follows from 30 September through 3 October 2026 on jobquest.ph. The organizer calls the onsite day its last mega job fair of 2026.

The onsite listing says employers are offering local and overseas openings. The virtual listing describes local openings, online booths, applications, and chat with employers.

Confirm the hours before you travel

Philstar’s 15 September photo release says the hall is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Philstar.com notes that it is a media partner of the fair.

The SMX Megatrade page, checked 24 September 2026, says 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Hall 3.

JobQuestPH’s event text names the date and the hall. It does not print a start or end time. Do not treat either clock as final. Check jobquest.ph, or ask the venue, on the morning you go.

How to register

The organizer says to register online for a free IQ and EQ assessment, an AI job match, and Express Lane access on the day. Bring an updated resume as well.

Registration on the site was open when this page was checked. A listing is not a completed signup. Finish the form and keep the confirmation.

The fair is held with DOLE PAPAMAMARISAN, PESO Mandaluyong, the Department of Migrant Workers, TESDA-NCR, and Megatrade Hall. That cooperation does not mean those offices run the AI tools.

The DMW Jobfair Portal is a separate government service. Do not use its form as the JobQuestPH registration.

Who can attend

JobQuestPH says the fair is open to senior high school graduates, TESDA diploma holders, undergraduates, fresh graduates, college graduates, career shifters, experienced applicants, and other active jobseekers.

The page does not publish a confirmed employer list or a vacancy count for these dates. Roles shown elsewhere on the site are current postings, not a promise that those employers will be in the hall.

What the AI tools claim

JobQuestPH says its AI job match compares skills, personality, and cognitive results with openings. Registered users can take free IQ and EQ assessments.

For the virtual fair, the organizer says you can join AI-assisted interviews when invited. A separate heading on the site says “AI-powered interviews” that help you prepare. Neither page says an AI system hires, rejects, ranks, or records you.

Read the consent and privacy notice on the screen before you start an assessment or an interview. For overseas offers, check the agency through official DMW channels.

What to do next

  • Register at jobquest.ph and save the Express Lane confirmation.
  • Update your resume before 29 September.
  • Recheck the hours that morning. Philstar and SMX still disagree.
  • Read the consent screen before any AI assessment or invited interview.
  • Verify overseas recruitment through DMW, not only through a booth.

How this was checked

The date, hall, partners, registration offer, and AI wording are from JobQuestPH’s public event text opened on 24 September 2026. The SMX listing was opened the same day and still showed 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Philstar’s 15 September photo release still showed 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. No organizer clock time replaced those two notices, so the article does not pick one.
