Naukri Job Fair - Bangalore 07

As usual, i was late by 20 minutes. The cab driver was waiting for me. He had to pick up one more of my colleague to the naukri job Fair, held at palace grounds on 8th dec 07 bangalore. Got into cab and explained cab driver also owner, Mr Vasu, the side effects of getting late on weekends. He seemed to forgive (hoping that he can make to the venue within 30 minutes, as the traffic was less). We picked up my colleague near iskcon. Vasu, dropped myself and my colleague, who is working as HR at the palace grounds. We both were shocked by seeing huge crowd. Separate lines were made for males and females, and also based on the industry exp they had. Our company had a stall and we (Kyocera Wireless India) were the platinum sponsers for the event.

After inaugurating the function, the crowd was let in. There were many companies who had participated, but i could fine only few companies that were looking for technical people. I was one of the panelist for the second round of tech interview, but to manage the crowd, had to do the shortlist of resumes also(which was the first round). This was a diff exp to me. There were many people from different background, and also from diff places. There were exp people, freshers (some accompanied by their parents), people who wanted to get the most of this event. I met a person there, who had a apartment near ITPL. She wanted to give that, as a guest house for foreign VIP's who come to visit their companies in India. Also met a group of enthusiastic ladies, who seem to have started a company of their own which provides software for mobile applications. I led them to my HR, and they had a serious discussion. There was huge queue, who were waiting to photocopy their resume. The photocopy person had a good business.

When the event came to an end on the first day it was about 5pm, and time for me to meet my freinds to discuss the loooooong journey for the coming christmas holidays. Yesssss a journey for 5 days in the western ghats on "BIKESssss"
