This is the third time Monster.com (Malaysia), a leading online and career
recruitment solutions provider, is running the popular event, which
is scheduled from June 22 to 26.
Combining a number of employers with vacancies for a huge range
of jobs, the career fair aims to virtually connect local skilled
professionals with new job opportunities. Leading companies from
IT, ITES, Manufacturing & Engineering, Oil & Gas, Banking
Finance & Insurance, and Telecom sectors are participating in
the upcoming Virtual Career Fair (VCF).
Students and candidates across industries and experience levels
will have the opportunity to communicate with top employers and
speak with recruiters over Skype to find out more about available
jobs. Participating companies will have the opportunity to
interview and interact with a breadth of talent in an environment
that optimises time and efficiency.
To start linking up with recruiters and HR teams from across the
country and the world, budding job seekers simply need to register
on Monster.com (Malaysia) and upload their updated resume.
Job seekers can also visit http://vcf.monster.com.my/mobile to
search, find and apply for jobs on the go during the job fair.
"The Monster.com Malaysia Virtual Career Fair 2015 is an
efficient and exciting way for local job seekers to push their
profiles to companies on the hunt for top talent - and they don't
even need to leave home to be interviewed," said Sanjay Modi, Managing Director of Monster.com
(India, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong).
"The dynamic talent market and flourishing economy in
Malaysia means more companies than
ever are looking for new people to join their growing businesses.
Job seekers who take part in the Virtual Career Fair are more than
likely to meet their new future boss," Mr. Modi added.
5 tips to land a job at the Job Fair
Whether you're a fresh graduate seeking your first job or an
experienced professional looking for something different, the
Monster Malaysia Virtual Career Fair is a prime opportunity to
network, connect and find job leads.
To increase your chances to land a job at the job fair, follow
these tips and boost your profile:
Register and connect: Go to Monster.com (Malaysia) to
register for the Job Fair and include all your current information.
Make sure to select the 'low' privacy setting to let every employer
see your resume. If you don't have Skype, install the app so
interviewers can call you directly if they like what they see.
- Refresh your resume: As soon as the VCF begins,
employers will start checking their inboxes quickly. Make sure your
resume is in front and centre by putting the most relevant
information at the beginning. If you're looking for career
possibilities across a few different roles, consider writing a few
different resumes and/or cover letters tailored to each type of
job. Keep it short and edit out all the clutter. A more specific
approach will help you stand out from the crowd.
- Update your profile: If your current profile on Monster
is outdated, get it up to speed. Include your certifications,
skills and any extra details. This will help recruiters to get to
know the virtual you better.
- Do your research and ask questions: An interview isn't
just about getting to know you, but an opportunity for you to know
the company. Recruiters like meeting people who have done their
research, so read recent news, understand what the business does,
and prepare intelligent questions to ask the interviewer.
- Follow up: Like any interview, you'll need to follow up.
Don't bombard them with e-mails the day after, but send a follow-up
e-mail roughly 3-4 days later. It is also a good idea to send an
e-mail 24 hours after the interview to thank the recruiter for
their time and for considering you for the role.
