235 candidates were given on-the-spot offers while another 124 were shortlisted for further evaluation
Reinforcing our resolve of continually supporting the community in its Economical Empowerment, the Association of Muslim Professional’s (AMP) conducted its 3rd Job Fair at Nagpada, Mumbai on 15th June 2014. The Job Fair was organized in association with Educational and Welfare Foundation and LabourNet.
Many Job aspirants from across Mumbai and surrounding areas earnestly attended the event since it provided the rare opportunity to directly connect to potential employers and demonstrate their skills to them in a one-on-one manner. This Job Fair was specially organized for Graduates and the Final year Graduate students.
Mr. Aamir Edresy, President of AMP said “The response for this event too was as overwhelming as was for its predecessors. Around 500 people turned up for the Job fair in the hope of finding the ideal job which would fit their qualifications and personal requirements.
The fair was attended by 18 companies. At the end of the day 235 candidates were given on-the-spot offers by recruiters while another 124 were shortlisted for further evaluation. The recruiters when contacted also conveyed that they were indeed very pleased with the organization of the event and the quality of the individuals whom they interacted with. This Job Fair gave a chance to the candidates to demonstrate their eligibility for vacancies in Sales, Marketing, Back office, Admin and other departments of prestigious firms.
AMP has repeatedly stated that the Indian Youth have a lot of potential and are very skilled, however due to the extremely competitive and difficult market scenario, many a times they are not able to connect to the industry. Such events are therefore needed on a regular basis to give these people a fair platform to demonstrate their skills and prove their potential.
AMP has endeavored to serve this need of our Nation’s Youth by conducting these Job Fairs and many similar events in the future. We have also started conducting employability training for these young people so that they can be better prepared for future opportunities. We further aspire to replicate this model on a Pan-India scale.
The Job Fair was attended by esteemed dignitaries like Mr. Yusuf Abrahani (Chairman, MAHADA), Mr. Amin Patel (MLA), Mr. Aziz Makki (Chairman, Educational and Welfare Foundation), Maulana Mustaqeem Azmi (President, Jamitul Ulema Hind, Maharashtra), Maulana Irfan Aleemi, Maulana Qamar Raza Ashrafi etc.
