Career Fair 2017 is an event organized by the students of University Malaysia Sabah, Labuan
International Campus (UMSLIC), Student Representative Council collaborating with
TalentCorp Malaysia, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and Labuan
Corporation. The purpose of this event is to provide student of UMSKAL an early opportunity to
learn more about potential employers and the opportunities available. Besides that, the Career Fair
creates student access to corporate internships, job placement, and career information exchange.
This is going to be an event participated by students from UMSLIC and public participations
from Labuan and Kota Kinabalu.
Besides that, both local and international companies will be part of our event. Exhibitions,
career talks and interview sessions will be carried out by participating companies especially
for all graduating 4th year students and also 3rd year students who will be commencing
their industrial training. This event is beneficial for students from different years to visit
because they can obtain early exposure to companies in the industry, thereby obtaining
invaluable information through communicating with representatives from various
companies. Career Fair serves as a bridge for students to have a successful career in the
future after completing their studies.
Here, students learn about different requirements in order to work for different companies,
particularly the company of their choice. Knowledge concerning current market demands
and the qualities one should possess in the related working fields makes it clear for students
to prepare themselves for their future career. Most of the students who participate in our
career fair benefit themselves either by securing a job even before their final examination or
obtaining valuable interview experience which will be useful for future interviews anywhere
else. Besides providing a platform for our students, we also encourage the participation of
graduates as well as students in the public who are looking for jobs and internships.
Objectives
Objectives of Career Fair I 2017 include:
1. Student
Networking: One of the key benefits of attending a career fair is meeting new people
recruiters, other job-seekers, career professionals to add to your network of
contacts.
Jobs Locally: Most job fairs are designed to gather candidates for positions within
the geographic region of the fair, so employers are searching for qualified local job-
seekers.
Jobs Long-Distance: Even if you are thinking of relocating, it makes sense to meet
with recruiters of national firms who can pass your contact information on to
recruiters in other parts of the country.
Internships: For college students, of course, this goal is the most common for a
career fair to establish contacts to obtain an internship for an upcoming practical
training.
Gain Experience: Even if you are not currently in the job market, there is nothing like
gaining valuable experience in mastering the art of working job fairs especially if you
are typically shy. The more experience, the more confident for when it really
matters.
