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.

It alright to dress/wear smart. Something different and you might have different (better) treatment when you enter a shop/restaurant too smile.gif

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

Either a long sleeve shirt or collar t-shirt with long pants. Damn, I always wear t-shirt with bermudas to Midvalley.

you have to preregister with JobsDB.com. better to register at home so you dont have to waste time filling up the form.

upon entering.. youll be disappointed as there arent many booths around. walk around the corner and thank goodness there's Hall 2. but before that, if youre filling up the registration form, do take note the have a couple of mistakes in the form.

Gender: Single / Female
Status: Single / Married
Emploment history: 1st column - From (mm/yy), 2nd column - From (mm/yy)

there isnt much space to fill in the job description also. best of all after filling up much, you'll tend to overhear this 'the only important part is the email address, the rest is not very important'. why bother filling up the form in the first place?

try requesting for a feedback form next. there is any to start with. great, hold an event and you dont want to know how well it went.

there are interview booths for on the spot one to one sessions.

So I went to the fair today. I'm glad I registered through the internet so I get to go in straight away. Those who didn't register need to fill in form in a crowded place with others who haven't registered.
Coudn't really find a job that I was really interested in. But then again it was too crowded and I'm too lazy to have a better look and stuff.
When I was there, there were a few companies up on stage talking stuffs. One of them was SONY and no one in the crowd seems interested. Those who were sitting down on the front row are probably only pretending to be listening while they're just resting their ass. But those guys from True Fitness gave a cool performance because they were kinda like dancing and figthing with loud music on. People started gathering around and watch. Now that was entertaining. After that there this old man who gave speech about success and stuff and everyone started leaving. Finally theres this guy from JobsDB who is giving tips about writing good resumes. Sounds interesting but I was just too tired and left.
As for jobs, I only applied two. I applied for Shift Supervisor at the Starbucks booth. Can't remember what the other job I applied for was. After I fill in the form, they say the interview will be held in the Starbucks shop at groud floor. I was like "wtf? I have to go downstairs?". But yeah I went anyway and waited for more than an hour. And I screwed up the interview because lots of question don't know how to answer.
The fair isn't as fun as I expected....

i went there yesterday, applied to a few positions (the one's i remember is EDS, Sony, Great Eastern Life, Manulife, Southern Bank) and registered with a the job recruitment agencies. I took all my cert's and went and but nvr use also, coz most of them want to see resume only (and i brought only 1 hardcopy sad.gif...now have to go send my softcopy to all the company's e-mail, coz although u can get JobsDB to do that by filling up a 'shopping list', i saw the number of ist inside the box, all look like sampah smile.gif )..better go and send it myself
