Have you ever applied to a job through a job fair, virtual or real? If so, what is your experience with such fairs?
Job fairs are a great way for you to explore potential employment opportunities and learn more about companies who are actively hiring in your neighborhood. Many people see it as something as serious as a first interview, while others view it as an opportunity to gather information about potential employers. Regardless of what reason you have for attending, there are a few important things to keep in mind before, during, and after the job fair to make it successful for you.
I think job fairs are good and right step in the right direction. Job fairs provide opportunities both to employers and job hunters. Real job fairs are good than vertuals because through this way recruiters can easily find right candidates, and job hunters can also take advantage of face to face interaction with employers/recruiters.
I agree in principle with everything that has been said, but the cynic in me thinks that sometimes Job Fairs are more of a catalyst for employers to network and to be "seen" than they are as genuine opportunities for would be employees. Yes that could be an "offshoot" but I feel it is more of a self publicising vehicle than a service for those looking for a job! In fairness if I see a company at a Job Fair advertising for "apprenticeships" then I am sure that they are definitely "interested" in recruitment as apprentices are an investment for the future.
I have been to a job fair this year for the first time. I didn't apply for any job there but the only positive thing from this event, was that I learned a few things about Middle East and in this fair I learned about Bayt. So, I count it as an advantage!
I think job fairs is great way to find opportunities and good vehicle to land a job even for a first timers or fresh graduates. In this case, you'll have a chance to show the employers/ HR who you are by that quick interviews in submitting your resume.
This is how I've got my job, so I am very thankful for this kind of hiring opportunities.
Fairs are your chance to impress the “gatekeeper” to an organization and to allow him or her to put a name to a face/ résumé. Your goal should be to identify the next step in the process and to entice the recruiter to grant you an interview or at least a referral to someone who needs a candidate like you.
Job fairs are helpful for both job hunters and employers. It saves applicants' time of going from one possible employer to another. At the same time, employers are able to save advertising costs on their job vancancies.
I don't like them, I just don't, sorry... it gives me depression.
Its an exhibition of products. We can display our goods to attracts customers domestically and internationally.
Haven't had a chance to apply through job fair, but what i have heard from friends is that it is very good for job seekers.
But if I went to an exhibition of the functions of this wonderful thing progresses his every person and competencies required by the worthiest possible win and everyone will be required because of the number of jobs in the exhibition will be a very large
