From today until Sunday, Malaysia's top independent news portal Malaysiakini will be taking part in the three-day Jobstreet career fair at the MidValley Exhibition Hall at MidValley City, Kuala Lumpur.

The company's booth will feature information about Malaysiakini 's unique working environment and the individuals behind the scenes.

"We want to show how it is like in the company, that is can be fun and exciting as well," said Malaysiakini human resources manager Gheeta James.

After long depending on word-of-mouth and postings on recruitment websites such as Jobstreet , Gheeta said, Malaysiakini decided on its maiden foray into job fairs in order to give the company greater visibility.

This, she explained, was part of the company's expansion policy, which would soon see the already 70-strong family at Malaysiakini welcoming new recruits.

Seeking passionate, talented people

NONE " Malaysiakini has been around for more than 10 years and we are here to stay. We are expanding and are looking for passionate and talented people to join our family.

"We want to promote the company, our brand and attract fresh graduates and industry veterans, including journalists, editors, sub-editors, designers, videographers, marketing, business and IT staff, and build up a healthy list of viable candidates," Gheeta said.

She added that there would be a goodie bag for each resume received during the fair.

Malaysiakini 's group marketing manager Mohan Raj will also give a talk at the career fair on the sustainability of online businesses.

The Malaysiakini booth is located at Hall 1 in the Greenzone.
