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

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?

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....

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?

Its from 10am - 7pm.

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....
