QUOTE(azbro @ Feb 16 2016, 12:48 PM) 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 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.

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.

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.

Look at all my stars!!

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
