I was on a forum today and it mentioned this site. http://technicaljobs.ie. Also a beauty one - http://jobs.beautifuljobs.ie/

Something else I came across. http://jobs2009.jobsfair.ie/ - I dont understand what it is. If i even click on a company it lists recent jobs but I dont see any dates. Am I blind? I mean whats the point in applying? the job might be closed. I dont even know what a jobs fair is. It mentions loadzajobs.ie. Is it a spinoff site or a scheme?!

Deisebabe, have just had a look at the site myself as well, no dates are listed for any exhibition like you say, think that the jobs advertised are linked from the Loadzajobs.ie website?

I mailed them a while ago to ask. Heres what I got back.

Thank you for your email.

JobsFair is an online event only and is currently taking place at www.jobsfair.ie

If you require any further information, don’t hesitate to get in touch.


So there we go Its online. I thought the Indo miht have taken over the old FAS fiar seeing as they sponsored it every year. Althought the costs would be astronomical for a paper to absorb.

PRESS RELEASE

Recession means recruiting boom for many sectors: Companies looking to hire despite the tough economy
Despite the daily doom and gloom about the economy, some companies are finding themselves poised for growth in 2009 and are hiring despite the recession.
LoadzaJobs.ie, Ireland’s fastest growing recruitment website, is launching their Still Hiring 2009 Jobs Fair to showcase those companies looking to hire despite the tough economy.

The Jobs Fair will run for three weeks online at www.jobsfair.ie from Thursday 29th January and will feature career opportunities in a range of industries weathering the economic storm.

“It's critical for jobseekers to keep a sense of perspective about the downturn”, commented Michael Wallace, Commercial Director of LoadzaJobs.ie, “because there are still companies hiring; unfortunately just not as many as 12 months ago.”

In addition, an uncertain job market calls for a robust career management plan. www.jobsfair.ie will feature a Career Advice section dedicated to up-skilling or re-training for an entirely new career, with tips from industry experts and a career surgeon on recession-proofing your job.

“We have launched the website to help people around the country to outsmart the recession by topping up their skills and acquiring new ones. The economic crisis has made upskilling and reskilling an imperative for those facing redundancy and the possibility of unemployment”, explained Mr Wallace.

Jobsfair.ie will give jobseekers access to all the benefits of a traditional jobs fair without having to leave home. They can log onto the fair, seek salary information, read industry profiles, watch videos, listen to career audios, leave CVs, register for online courses, and of course search and apply for jobs with some of Ireland’s leading employers.
