MANILA, Philippines?Alarmed by the difficulty experienced by college graduates in landing jobs, marketing experts will give some 10,000 students in colleges outside Metro Manila some coaching to prepare them for the job market.

The job Internet search engine, jobsDB and the Association of Marketing Educators (AME), the academic arm of the Philippine Marketing Association, have entered into a partnership to help prepare students for the ?real world.?

From September this year to February next year, jobsDB and members of the AME will bring prospective employers and human resource managers to select schools to coach third-year and fourth-year marketing students.

Sheryll Tiburcio, country manager of jobsDB Philippines, said a recent study conducted by the Asian Development Bank showed even college graduates have been taking at least two to three years before finding a ?stable job.?

She said actual HR managers and employers would conduct mock interviews to assess and guide students where they need to improve on their ?soft skills? such as communication, creativity, problem-solving.
