KUALA TERENGGANU: WITH more than 20,000 visitors at its two-day programme here alone, the BN Youth Job Fair '13 is proving to be most successful one-stop carnival for job seekers in the country.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the job fair had achieved its main objective, which was to allow employers to meet their prospective employees under one roof.
"It is a successful programme as youth can apply for jobs that are available at the carnival," said Najib who launched the job fair in conjunction with the "Jelajah Janji Ditepati" programme at Dataran Shahbandar here.
BN Youth Job Fair chairman Nazir Hussin Akhtar Husin said the large number of visitors was because of the participation of 80 companies, including corporations such as UMW Holdings Bhd, Celcom Axiata Bhd and My E.G. Services Bhd.
He said more than 4,000 jobs were offered at the inaugural job fair in the state, where various government agencies had also set up booths.
"Apart from applying for jobs, visitors can get information on programmes organised by the agencies and get advice from officers."
He added that those who wanted information on the job fair could also visit its website at www.bnyouthjobfair.my.
One of the visitors, Subhi Mohamad, 25, said he came to the carnival as he wanted to look for a better job.
"I want to try my luck as I want to work for a more established company," said the draughtsman from Chendering.
Celcom Axiata senior vice-president Hasmawati Hilmi Harun said the company received an overwhelming response from fresh graduates for the executive posts it offered.
"We are looking for confident and hardworking candidates as they will be in charge of a district each."
