"Extraordinary Opportunities in Extraordinary Times"

JobsDB.com holds landmark online recruitment drive
The first ever Asia Virtual Job Fair offering

JobsDB.com, the largest online recruitment network in the Asia-Pacific region, will be holding the first “JobsDB Asia Virtual Job Fair” between September 15 to 28, 2003. Nine countries and territories are to take part in the event that offers more than 1,000 professional and management-level positions. Many of these job positions are from well known companies in the region. This fair follows the recent success by the Hong Kong-based company in organizing the `2003 China Shanghai Enterprise International Virtual Job Fair’, and is the climax of the campaign to mark JobsDB’s 5th anniversary.

The “JobsDB Asia Virtual Job Fair (AVJF) 2003” is the first of its kind in the region as no other job site in the region has as wide a network as JobsDB which spans 12 countries and territories. Nine of them will be participating in the Job Fair namely – Hong Kong, China, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, India and Indonesia. The Job Fair provides a unique channel for regional companies and job seekers to connect. The objective is to provide premium job opportunities in a focused venue for professionals and management talents.

Despite the fact that in recent years, job fairs in some countries have also become a popular avenue for companies to recruit staff, however, due to privacy concerns, job seekers who look for managerial positions are reluctant to attend physical job fairs and be seen in public applying for job positions. Furthermore, most of the jobs on offer at these fairs were from the service and trading sectors, and were on a contract, part-time or temporary basis with very few senior positions.

The JobsDB AVJF offers the advantages of both traditional recruitment fairs and online job sites, allowing firms to recruit senior staff within a short period of time on a convenient, easy to use platform and professional people can find job positions in a focused venue in the comfort of their own environment, protecting their privacy. Positions on offer include Assistant Technical Director, General Manager, Marketing Director and Purchasing Manager will be offered by hundreds of participating companies including international corporations such as GE Capital, Samsung, Gucci Group, AIA, IBM, Coca Cola, UPS Parcel Delivery Service, Deloitte Consulting, Fuji Xerox, Canon Engineering, Maxtor Peripherals, etc. JobsDB has set up a special venue on its web site for this event and job seekers can visit http://vjf.jobsdb.com to obtain more information and to search for their ideal job.
