JobNation, Myanmar's Biggest Career Fair had opened its doors for over 3,000 professionals on 12th May 2019, in Mandalay. The event was presented by JobNet.com.mm, Myanmar’s biggest online recruitment platform at Marvel Hotel. Jobs from more than 25 local and international companies were offered across every discipline, from IT to hospitality. Participants were also given the unique opportunity to be involved in constructive and meaningful activities such as consultations, seminars, and presentations on employment and career growth from market leading specialists.
More than 400 jobs were on offer at JobNation - the numbers show clearly the demand for the event both from applicants and potential employers is significant. Demand was evenly spread out across experience levels, with jobs available for entry level candidates and for candidates required to have significant experience. This showcases companies’ willingness to meet experienced candidates at job fairs too.
"We regularly participate in JobNation and each year we get great results. We constantly find competent employees using this format. It is important for us to acquaint potential candidates with our company and with the vacancies that we have" – said Ms.Thuzar Aung, Head of Human Resource at Asia General Business Group.
What sets JobNation apart is the quality of companies. JobNet.com.mm has always prioritized quality of companies as the #1 defining element of JobNation. Among this year top participants are Platinum Sponsors Ooredoo, KBZ Bank and SK Herbal, as well as Gold Sponsors Mega Lifesciences, Chin Dwin College, Cycle &Carriarge(Mercedes), Asia General Electric, British American Tobacco and Medicin Sans Frontier
"We are happy and very excited to connect Mandalay's talents with Myanmar Top Employers - said Matt De Luca, Managing Director of JobNet.com.mm - Every time while organizing JobNation, we make every effort to encourage an active dialogue between the participating companies and potential employees. This is a perfect change for candidates to meet and greet the recruiters from the best companies and find out in more detail what makes these companies great workplaces. So everyone can get invaluable experience in communicating with managers and HR department representatives, not only to submit their resumes, fill out a form or get an invitation for an interview. I am confident that today we have created all the right conditions so that visitors and participants have a great experience.
Besides companies’ presentations, invited speakers were talking about career development and professional growth. Visitors were also told how to create a good image of themselves as a candidate for a certain position, about building a personal brand and landing the dream job.
JobNation will be back to Mandalay next year, we hope with even more participants and exciting activities. Meanwhile, hundreds of vacancies from the leading employers of Mandalay are available every day at JobNet.com.mm.
