Career Fair

Today, I went to Career Fair with my friend, L.Q.X. at Penang International Sports Arena. It was raining lightly when I almost reached. 

We planned to meet at 12p.m. but he was late due to traffic jam and he needed to fetch his friend. Well, I completed my registration and had a walk at Gift and Stationery Exhibition. There were plenty of booths over there. Most of them were doing the same business, which was customised souvenir.

I was challenged by a lady over there. She looked around my age but her arrogant was the problem. She asked me to register for a seminar but that seminar was not what I was interested in, hence I rejected her. Then, she started to ask for my career. I replied her that I was in service line. The challenge started here. She began to ask for my particulars and this provoked me as she didn't answer my questions. I meant, it was just a one-way communication and I disliked this. 

She told me that she would be a Great Eastern Life Assurance's agent next year but she refused to reveal her agency. What a shame! She did proclaim that my speaking was too rush or fast but I countered back:"That's depending on who I'm talking to," I hoped she understood what I meant. Then, she quickly stopped our conversation. It was okay since I was not in form as well.

Since that, my mood turned down as I was busy figuring out where did I make the mistakes and how could I improve myself. 

I did a survey at the Career Fair before my friend arrived. However, I could say that it was quite disappointing as there was no one accounting firm. There were few universities or colleges' booths to attract fresh graduates to further their post-graduate study.

There were multinational companies' booths as well. Nonetheless, they were all non-Penang based companies. This didn't attract my interest too. I collected quite a number of free gifts, such as note books, calendars and etc.. I collected some name cards as well. 

I do hope that the Career Fair can include more firms or companies from different fields next time to make it more attractive.
