Thanks a lot guys, i will be there to "look look see see".
A bit off track..........I am highly keen on pursuing a career in Embedded Systems/Firmware development. If any one here has any opinion on this field, can you please share?I am not asking for any particular info...just your thoughts. -

I went to the fair the previous year and to be frank i was quite disappointed.
It was more of a "further studies" fair than a career fair. -

just came back fr the fair at suntec. darn frustrating. took me close to 20 min to queue and register, even thou only 5 pple infront of me. gave them my pre-registration info, but told me cannot find my record. so asked me to fill up a new form and told me to use a different email address fr the one i registered online... after i registered, ask me to go inside, then go to the kiosk counter to upload resume again. the resume counter is crowded with ppl queueing and overheard some filipino saying they been queueing for 45min alredy... my gosh... i didnt bother to q already...
actually went to the fair cos i saw the listing for some big companies, like mas, dbs, etc. but somehow didnt see them at the booth. only got a whole bunch of computers there listing their jobs. but i couldnt even apply there. the info asked u to go visit the respective company websites to apply. i asked the staff there to see if i can submit anything there - he told me i can do it at home thru the net.... @#$#$%#@%^@$%
btw, there were at least 10 insurance companies there... with a funny fat man jumping up and down on trampoline... -
Same exp here.. they told me system down. Took 20mins and 3 pcs to register (one cannot search, 1 hang/cannotlog off or something), plus a few aunties trying to cut q. So much for paperless jobfair.. :p
I went there to look see over lunchtime. Interested in singtel, mediacorp and mas but only kiosks there. No booths, no reps! *faint* So I went to check out the kiosks, the site just ask me to go to the company's website to apply. I don't get it loh, waste time, might as well apply at home. Probably a marketing tactic to show off big brand names.
And the lines at the area to key in resumes were crazy. I have up after 30mins, people trying to input their resumes on the spot because the organisers said only if we input resumes that the employers can get it. Again, people in front of me say computers hang when you try to submit. Argh! So I gave up and went for lunch.
-
wad is mediacorp trying to employ?
MAS??
familiar... but wad jobs they have? -
went to those jobscentral jobfair disapointed too .. might as well stay and home apply online easier
-
I did not stay long enough to find out.
Only got 1 hour over lunch to visit the fair.. a lot of time wasted queuing. When i saw it's just a bunch of pcs, i can't be bothered already...
Go to mediacorp and mas website to see.. probably all there. -
thanks... probably gg over after work....
-
I think jobfairs are all like that. Limited effectiveness.. and it really depends on your luck. I treat them as a way to just learn more about the companies (and when i got nothing better to do..haha). Actual applications, i think online is the most effective.
-
if your name appear
as John Tom herry...
non -singaporean
and from US or angmo countries
they will call you up very fast one
if appear as Mr tan , My Ah Goh Mr Boluck or watever
happy they might call you
or else never hear from them again -
just to clarify smtng...
this career fair got ntng to do with agencies right?
all applications go direct to companies?
cos i do not wish to go thru agencies n waste my precious time rejecting them.... -
there were quite a few agencies at the fair today. good and bad abt them lah... sometimes they really have good positions, but i just wish they could be more open abt the companies they are referring us to...
-
mite drop by too
-
went...
quite disappointed i must say.
oh.. i went after work.. no queue, ntng... the ppl were helpful tho.
but a waste of time.
90% of the booths are insurance, property and agencies....
