So there will be a career and education fair which will be held in Midvalley KL (june23-25), City Square Johor Baru (july29-30), and Prangin Mall in Penang (Aug19-20).
Should I go or is anyone going? I heard the last time this fair was organized, a lot of people got jobs. So I'm thinking of trying it out.
Anyone who has been to this fair last year have any info to share? Like how will the interviews be conducted and all.

More info about the fair

Since I'm unemployed, I'm going for it.

By the way, are there any walk-in interview? Should I wear a formal attire on that day?

Yeah you can do the interview one the spot if you want to. And yeah I also wanna ask if I should wear formal or not.
And how long does it take to get a reply from them whether they'll employ you or not?

Give them a call after you have attended their interview or you may ask them at the end of interview.

just remember to stock up on your resume and try to be early. Early birds catch the worms.

I went to the career fair before. I wear casual only. Usually they just ask you to fill in forms and submit resume only.

So, there's no walk-in interview. Like there, better reconsider what attire to wear. tongue.gif

Yeah something like that. Try to talk as much as you can in 5 mins. rclxms.gif


But I thought its stated that there will be walk-in interviews? If I'm not sleeping the whole day I might go and check it out tomorrow.

It would be weird if everyones wearing casual and you're the only one wearing formal. People will be like...wa lau eh... smart dude!
I'll probably wear formal anyway. And quickly change back to casual once I'm done. Don't feel comfortable wearing formal. Hah! Prefer to just wear singlet and selipar jepun.

Heres what the site says about attire.

Is there a dress code?
No, but first impressions do count and are important. Whilst it is not necessary to wear a suit and tie, 'business casual' would be deemed the most acceptable attire. Be comfortable!

Whats business casual? Does it mean you have to wear one of those buttoned long sleeved shirt or just T-shirt will do?
