Cool man!
I know! 🙂
If you like to help people, why do you charge a fee for job-seekers?
I’m not organizing the fair, just sponsoring it, so you’ll have to ask them about the entry fee. However, as I also run a business, I see no problem whatsoever with charging people reasonably for products and services. For example, such job fairs take a lot of time and money to bring to life. In my case, I like to provide a free option, which is why this blog, JobMob, has hundreds of articles + exclusive downloads that are 100% free and have been for almost 10 years and counting, and that’s a lot.
Perhaps more job seekers would attend if there was just a nominal charge or if it was free? Maybe you could suggest that the companies pay more for the booths?
I’m not organizing the fair, just sponsoring, so I can’t change prices for anything, but I’m sharing all feedback with the organizers. They’re very interested.
I think 20 shekels is a nominal charge. It would take an awful lot of job seekers for the organizers to make a profit at that rate, but I don’t think that’s the goal here. Rather, such nominal fees are often used to separate the serious from the non-serious, for the benefit of all attendees but in particular, the ones who paid much more to be there: the employers.
I’d very much like to attend the fair. But as a new oleh, my first priority is ulpan which takes place daily. Is there anyway I can e-mail my resume and writing samples to the exhibitors at the fair that are seeking professional writers and editors like myself?
There’s no simple way, however it doesn’t really matter. Exhibitors are trying to get the word out that they’re hiring, and briefly meet & attract potential candidates. While the latter would require you to be there, the fair website lists most if not all the exhibitors which means you can easily see who’s hiring and can reach out to them directly. You might consider posting writing samples on a personal website and uploading them to a Dropbox account and then linking to them in a cover letter.
How can I see the full list of companies represented on the fair?
Click through to the official announcement on the conference organizer’s website. If you don’t see a list, check non-sponsor logos in the conference banner. That’s the best you can do, as far as I know
would this job fair also be for people who have been in ISrael for a long time (20 years) and who are seasoned professionals but are currently looking for a good position (50yr +)?
thanks
My impression is that the jobs available are not only entry level, but I don’t know for sure. The best thing to do is research the companies who will be there to see who they are looking for, and use this information to better target relevant companies at the fair if there are any, in your case
Plus points: You did, it! , a good start and a good initiative
Minus points:
1)Far to Tel Avv centric. If you want people getting there you need to have it running a full day not just 6 hours And you could have chosen somewhee central and easy to get to rather than TA in the rush hour. Anywhere would have been better.
2)You also don’t consider anyone without a car as being of interest. Cheap parking and thats it. How about giving instructios for people arriving by public transport, a few bus maps, train schedules etc might be useful.Check how they do this in the rest of the developed world
3) Anodyne lectures on bland topics. You had plenty of time, Parallelize the language-centric sessions and create time for concrete sessions on specfic topics which attract people with specific skills
Great feedback, George, that will have an impact on the next fair. Thanks for taking the time.
