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?

#careerfairisforbodo

you are the unlucky one.

It works.
Your resume just takda standard.

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

Are you picking for job or searching for job?

I got my previous and current job from Jobstreet wor.

More efficient than website.

U can scout ur potential pretty kolik there

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.

Good luck

can't agree more
this x10000000000000
Send your resume+ handsome photo directly to the HR.

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

TS resume confirm boring and not impressive

more like you underqualified

perhaps ur demand salary is /k/ standard but skillset like fresh graduate drag and drop.

Your avatar overqualified

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??

what does it mean by "usless" ?

submitted 11 out of 6 wants to interview me lol

my first career job was from career fair

but dont be so picky if they are interested in u

I got my 1st job as Software Eng in lowyat.net

2nd job by directly email to manager

3rd job thru SPA


Career fair is useless

If you dont do it now.....1.5m bangla will.

You think all the bangla want 3D jobs? They will even apply top position jobs and demand half of what you demand with even better qualifications and experience and backing from politicians and datuks...lol

tell me the how many employer revert or send an invitation to you??from the job fair?

Last year, few headhunters called me.
Sadly, they can only give salary up about rm300 only. Some even dare call to take the job for the same salary i got now. For me, it must be at least RM1-1.5k increment for me to risk jump. 300 better dont jump at all.

classic case of siapa bukak thread, dia butthurt.. LOL..
TS, you should really review your resume.. something is definitely wrong there..

add recruiter on linkedin considered ok?

You and the employer is 1:1 ratio. Employer vs applicants 1: (number of applicants received) . This gives them the benefit of cherry picking candidates for interview.

Job Fair is too see amoi/ milf!!!

frankly speaking its useless in jobfair

yes u see alot big company setting up booth

and u know they also using ur resume paper lap meja ..true story

ive seen them just put it behind the booth and stack it up

might be true also lah,
its been long time i x reconstruct my resume

becoz hr wanna pretend working

i go mctf (career fair) before, i got 2 invitation from 16 of my resume i drop.
jobstreet i got 3 invitation from 100++ i apply.
so far i sent email to hr (ads on their website) never get response.

true , i think that the fair is just for the nerds with high ambition and never work b4 ,

like the one who just graduated , with high dreams ,

let them ask ask ask and talk talk talk there,

so many people asking for the same position , do u think u will be the chosen one?

Come one......come all.

The 3rd job tu kerja apa

i hate career fair

if the company got their own job portal, use it.
but of course nothing beats fiber optic cable lol

career fair is let u know and collect companies name, later on go home and apply via their websites.

improve your Bahasa inggeris first.
and sharpening your marketing sense.

they are certainly looking for suitable candidates in the fair.
quality over quantity.

resume not laku, blame najib allow career fair, kek!

what position is your wife ? so easy send resume like that.

must be mainstream (HR, finance, admin, purchasing related)

Not true at all, my friend haven't fully completed her course yet but she got a job at a career fair. And it's not an internship, she had a junior executive position with scent pay. If you've not been succeeding all this while you might need to work on how you carry yourself.

Conclusion, it is all down to luck of getting employed

Not true bro. I got my internship from the last jobstreet career fair. They pay me handsomely too

just keep sending resume in jobfair. make sure the resume is presentable and you're qualified for the job that you're asking. Most of the candidates apply for jobs with the mindset that "the more i send, the better my chances would be". Actually when applying for job ,the mindset should be "I will only apply for the jobs that suit me and I am really interested in".

Unless it is called exhibition, job fair is a good platform for you to get a job. Of course, not everyone is the "potential candidates".

Job fair is useful, at least there's one more options for you to hunt for jobs.

That's pure BS

Not necessarily useless. You need a combination of skills, experience, luck and gumption to successfully land yourself a job.

So continue praying (if you are a religion person) after submitting your resume.

Gomen

yesterday, i went to this job career fair @ KLCC
still lot ppl with the same company wif diff organizer
but this time few company caught my attention lah

i think those jobfairs have a certain set of people in mind, i.e. graduates in a certain field that fits their criteria. if they do, then they get a callback.

people with more experience would face a harder time since their profile doesnt match the above, in my opinion. for us, its more efficient to go through headhunters or personal recommendations.

jobfair - not much of choice.. only a few really company booth, other is headhunter

jobstreet - all my jobs i got from Jobstreet..
if u go direct to HR they wont look at it becoz they have too much to read and by going to jobstreet they can filter most out 1st before start reviewing..

Linked - so far did not apply anything but got a few invitation for interview by headhunter

Maybe engrand lesson dulu

I think majority is MNC company la rarely chinaman company do job fair
because wanna cut budget #chinamanmindset
