Nearly 8000 Jobs On Offer At Goa National Mega Job Fair In March 2022

PANAJI: The Goa Jobs Network (GJN) in association with several NGOs, semi-government bodies and other corporates from all over India, will conduct the Goa National Mega Job Fair – 2022 (GNMJF) at Bambolim in North Goa, offering around 7.5 to 8,000 jobs in more than 200 companies in Goa and nearby districts.

The mega event which is expected to draw more than 2.5 lakh youth and job seekers from the age group of 18 to 40 will be held during the last week of March, a spokesperson for the mega event said.

The main attraction will be the participation of several IT companies as well as those from the Pharma sector. We are expecting at least 160 IT brands and an equal number of Pharma brands to bring in their HR staff to screen and interview Goan candidates at the job fair.

This job fair is aimed at youth who are graduate or postgraduate degree holders. Final year students also can participate and submit their CV.

Students and candidates are expected to register in advance and obtain a token number, which will enable them to go directly to the companies where they can possibly fit in.

We are screening and shortlisting candidates in advance, doing all the back office work so that they do not have to run from pillar to post at the job fair, said Venus Saldanha of Mapusa, one of the organisers of the mega project.

Opportunities are also available those have completed SSLC, HSC and diploma courses and part-time jobs will be on offer to undergraduates who wish to earn while they learn.

Differently-abled people can attend the job fair as companies with job openings specifically for them are taking part in the fair.

Interested candidates are requested to be present at the venue with the computer generated token no with at least 20 copies of their resume (CV) and 20 passport size photographs. The candidates are expected to be prepared for a personal interview, a group discussion and an aptitude test, which the participating companies may subject the prospective candidates to on the spot.

Some companies are offering spot jobs or spot appointment letters to the right candidates and we hope that most Goan youth will benefit from this exercise, Saldanha explained. The organisers also aim to rope in the various departments of the Goa government to support the endeavor as its in the interest of the local youth.

Niz Goenkars and those residing in Goa for more than 20 years will be given preference in the short-listing process, the organisers informed.

Candidates must take the benefit of this two-month notice to prep themselves up as they will be put through different types of selection processes like Aptitude Tests, Group Discussions and Personal Interviews by prospective employers. Jobs cannot be given to unqualified and undeserving candidates, except in very few cases like when both the parents have passed away. Merit and qualifications are important and candidates must brush up on their GK, personal communication and inter-personal skills, the organisers have suggested.
