I have went trough few job fair , and
i don't think job seeker able to hunt higher opportunity in the career fair.Most of the booth at career fair just to drop the resume
90% of the resume i send off does not have any feedback
why employer waste money to open this kind of fair??
jobstreet rosak?

Best way is to email their hr directly. Or LinkedIn.
Jobstreet is useless. I have my cv reviewed by employers like 5 6 times for one particular job but no invitation whatsoever

If 1 employer didnt reply then maybe its their problem.

If EVERY employer didnt reply... maybe its time to start with the man in the mirror

When my wife looking for job, a few months jobless until my financial also down the drain. Really desperate
All because of waiting for job portals

In the end....I go to all the factory and offices, take the address and even used google maps. Print out 100 of her resumes and just send everything to all the address. no matter got vacancy or not.

Later got 1 call and she got her job.
A few other company also did call her but she likes it there...I also happy

It's good place for employer to find cheap kuli.

If you no received, means your qualification/experience does not justified your RM20k asking price.

Send your resume+ handsome photo directly to the HR.

Jobstreet is way too competitive with so many applicants fighting for a job.

Is it ok if you call the company hr company first and ask if there vacancy b4 emailing them??? Or is this too desperate?

Bcs at least if you know there is a vacancy there is a 50-50 chance of receiving a call back??
