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

got also tell me ya...

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.

In shopping complex ar?I don't think it will be a big fair.

any idea on the list of exhibitors??
what companies are coming?

Heres a list of those companies...
http://careerfair.jobsdb.com/career/defaul...&83832150697708

I'm eyeing for Komag and Flextronics.

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

but cannot pre-register

Not just resume ... bring all the relevant stuffs; transcript, reports and etc.

Anybody??

And 2 dozens of Passport Pictures too

the website stated that need to bring soft copy resume
(thumb drive) too.... @@

my fren said wear smart casual is ok, wearing formal to shopping complex.... very weird...i jus wondering can i wear jeans?

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

The Ten Keys to Success at Job and Career Fairs
I read that they're only giving 5 minutes for the interview? Hhhhmmmmmm......
Gotta talk fast then. Rapping and stuff....

You mean like Twista's rapping speed?

I don't feel weird at all. Come on, it's held at MV.

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

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


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.

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

wat time is the event?

yea, that event from what time till what time?

Its from 10am - 7pm.

Who went today? Share your experience, thank you.

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

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.

i had enough of all this job fair
its like throwing my resume to teh dustbin

anyone went to the talk by BAT?
my timing not rite leh...

dun be so bad....is become the company's recycle paper

Can you remember what're the companies?

oh yes
so the people inside the booth are just trying to get to know each other better

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....

thx for sharing...

ops, edited... wrong post

I'm planning to go tomorrow ... heard that the 8 Team from 8TV will be there too.

Better just send ur resume to the company than give them the resume for recyling to the ....paper lama!...paper lama!

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 ...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 )..better go and send it myself

planning to go for it actually...but too bad my weekend timetable already full

You can bring your resume in pen drive and let me copy to their laptop right? I read this somewhere at jobsdb website.

owh man...
gonna missed it, as i got something to attend to today [as i forgot bout it yesterday]
gonna be jobless, continuing....

good luck to u guys

Back from it ... it's really nothing. Just resume submission ...

The fair is small and occupies only 2 halls.

Just went there yesterday, and those staff was busy asking u to fill-up thier application form and submit resume ... most are submitted in softcopy
was wondering... there's so much application were throw inside thier box ler..
better way is u telling the related staff which field u actually interested.. if they hv suitable position they will get u to fill up the form and put u into the rite place... there was one i told the staff where i'm interested... yet they put my resume under the related field ... they categorize those fields dy.... is better than the rest just throw the resume inside one folder without categorize it..

Flextronics (Shah Alam) had walk-in interview at the nearby hotel ... Anybody went for it?

Oh, don't be a crybaby. Just submit your resume to the respected companies through their official website. I'm sure they will glad to view it.

oh man, I missed it. was working. sigh. I think I"ll go to the UK study fair since I intend on going to Uni there... not sure if the uni that I'll be going to will be there though,
