Virtual Jobs Fair offers real career opportunities
Almost 30 employers will be on the hunt for new staff as part of the three-day Perth Airport Jobs Fair which starts online on Thursday 8 September.
Perth Airport CEO Kevin Brown says the recruiting push will further strengthen the WA aviation sector’s recovery.
“Perth is actually fairly well positioned thanks to the fact that we kept the FIFO sector flying throughout the Covid-19 pandemic,” Mr Brown said.
“But as we continue to recover, we wanted to reach out to our aviation, retail and government partners to see what we could do together to ensure we have done everything possible to build momentum and support the aviation sector.
“There are more than 500 jobs on offer now, with more coming up over the next few months within the food and beverage outlets, retail shops, government agencies, security, cleaning services, ground/baggage handling, operations, and customer service.
“Most people don’t realise that Perth Airport does not employ all of these people. So, we have made it easy by bringing almost 30 airport companies, along with all of the airport jobs together, in an online Jobs Fair that is free and easy to navigate.
“The virtual setting of the Jobs Fair will have the look and feel of a real event, but you will have the ability to connect from wherever you are.
“It’s a high-tech approach to the traditional jobs fair and gives job applicants the time and flexibility to check out potential employers, sit in on job information sessions, engage in “live chats” with employers, lodge CVs, and even book meetings and job interviews.
“Flexibility is the key for many job applicants and the airport is a dynamic place to work, whether you’re a student looking for a few hours here and there, a mum or dad looking to work while the kids are at school, or you’re after full time work.”
Registrations for the event open today and from Sunday 4 September the doors will be ‘open’ where users can enter the online fair to explore the jobs on offer. The live recruiting will then run from
Thursday 8 until Saturday 10 September.
The Jobs Fair can be accessed through all devices including laptops, tablets and smart phones.
