Get your resumes into a thumbdrive before going to Career Expo 2008

Just returned from JobsDB's Career Expo 2008. In short, it is better than a lot of job fairs I've been to. That being said, I've not been to those since 2006. There's actually more booths manned by companies genuinely looking to employ people, rather than by educational institutes trying to get more students. And the place's not overly-crowded, which means a more pleasurable experience. The JobsDB staff are generally helpful, and some are pretty sweet-looking too :)

It seems they are trying to implement some IT stuff to facilitate the job hunt so we can avoid pen and paper, which is a good move. Save the trees, yeah? It would help though, that people are aware that they do not to bring hard copies but soft copies of their resume instead.

Some thing you need to note when you go to the job fair

• You need to fill in a form to get some sort of a pass for searching for or applying to jobs.


• Do bring a softcopy of your resume so you can update your database record (Else you'll have to enter it manually). The booth for updating of resume is to the left hand side of the entrance. Once it's done you get a green sticker.


• Now you can go start your exploration of the Expo.
