J&P Health Care Products, the distributor of Pau D'Arco and other health-related products is offering summer jobs for high school and college students.
This was revealed by Dr. John Philip Pestano in last Tuesday's press conference at Bigby's.
The students will be given the company's product package and will be asked to sell them. They will receive eight percent straight commission and allowance. The latter will be released by June so that the students will use this for their school needs.
Pestano also revealed that they are giving out 20 scholarships for these students. The top three sellers will automatically have scholarships, while the remaining 17 will be distributed to other excellent sellers.
He made clarifications that this project's main thrust is not to make money but rather, provide the opportunity for students to learn how to convince people to accept an idea and to open opportunities of possible employment in the company in the future.
"This project is the brainchild of Ritchie Corpuz, founder of the company. This man came from humble beginnings and through hard work, he was able to send his siblings to school. He wants to make the future easy for students by giving them an opportunity to learn," Pestano said.
He assured students that the products are very easy to sell because the price is not more than P50 for each. There is no quota, either. He said that a student can earn more than that of a regular employee in a month's time.
J&P's products include Pau D'Arco liniment, herbal capsule and herbal tea, Pau IR, Vita Pau for Kids, Vita Pau Vitamins, Fitrum Capsules, Liveraid, My Marvel Taheebo and Pau Essences, which are all approved by the Bureau of Food and Drugs. (BFAD).
The hiring has started last March 12 and will last until April 30. J&P can be reached through telephone numbers 320-9768 or 329-6061.
The requirements are application form (secure from the company), resume, valid school ID and community certificate. KV
