Jobsdb Paperless JobFair 2010

Me and steward went to the job fair last friday, 26th March 2010. The advertisement on this job fair is amazing. With Resort World Sentosa and DBS offering more than 500 jobs to job seekers. And the queue was simply amazing, lots of applicants came to register and find a suitable job for them. Including me.. haha

The jobfair somehow looked cool when i have finished register my name. They give you something like card, and you need to scan the code to login to the system. That's one of their paperless strategy.


Somehow, when i entered the room, hall 6, i approached one of booth there.. With a very polite and nice sound, i asked the girl..


me: "Hi, Good Afternoon!! Do you have any openings for IT jobs in your company?"

Girl: "Hi, Good Afternoon! You are Singaporeans?"
me: "No"
girl: "PR?"
me: "no"
girl: "Oh, we are very sorry. Our company only looking for Singaporeans and PR only!! We are very sorry!!
me: "Oh, ok then. Thanks"


I was like ahhhhhhh.. So straight to the point.. HAHA.. This is what you all need to expect when looking for a job in other country. No PR no TALK!! - NPNT!!


We were wondering they provided few laptops around their booth, and when i saw the laptop with someone accessing it. I saw, they just looking at the jobs available in that booth, and click on apply button to apply for the job. This is what you called Paperless JobFair.


This is not different than you just sitting down in your room, looking at the laptop, open up Firefox, type in www.jobsdb.com.sg, and select which job you want. Accountancy, IT, Hospitality.


It seems that it was useless to go there that day. Think from another point of view (as what my friend Julie said, yes, i met her that day there):
1. There were 1000 people there applying the jobs.
2. The way you applying the job is the same like what you can do at home.
3. Compare to apply the job available in that Job Fair, it is much better to look at another company that were not listed on the jobfair. Why? Your chance of getting called is 1/1000.. HAHAHA


This is what i can share with you today. Enjoy
