The Hindu Women's Opportunity Fair 2011

The much awaited and advertised job fair exclusively for women kicked of at 9:00 am on saturday at LAITY auditorium near Bains School,Kilpauk. The fair saw around 20,000 women throng the grounds of Bains school to carry a job back home. Frankly speaking the event was disorganised with all the volunteers on the ground chatting and giggling looking at the chaos due to lack of proper queues and communication between them and the job seekers. After some initial drama the freshers were led out of the school to the main venue by some smart volunteers through a different entrance , at last giving the job seekers a hope to get a job. The fair saw a variety of companies catering to different disciplines and experience of work. The top notch BPOs such as Accenture,Sutherland Global Services,Hcl,Dell and Wipro recruited a strong number of women candidates. The remaining like Ford Technologies, Scope International looked for candidates in their domain of  work, i.e. engineering and finances respectively.

There were offers from sales girl at the Big Bazaar to the top notch executive positions being offered at this job fair.A variegated crowd with young college girls to mothers carrying their kids to the job fair showed how women are special owing to the multiple responsibilities they bear apart from what their job offers. Jobs from part time to full time and even work from home were on the offer. A welcome effort by the organisers of this fair , a better organisation of the entire affair would have favoured a better response from the public, as many walked off to escape being hurt from an unruly crowd like behaviour.
