You're reading: Kyiv Post to launch online career center after successful June 4 Employment Fair

The Kyiv Post is launching an online employment section, complete with a jobs/resume database for employers and prospective employees, following its June 4 Employment Fair. The fair attracted more than 2,200 participants and nearly 30 leading companies.

The next Employment Fair is planned for autumn.

The Kyiv Post online jobs section, which will launch by July 1, is designed to be an online clearinghouse for both employers and job seekers.

It will be filled with top career openings, thousands of resumes and the latest news and features about employment trends.

Industry experts will advise job seekers on how to successfully search for and find their dream jobs, as well as how to advance in their chosen careers.

At the June 4 Employment Fair held in the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, visitors posted their employment information online at www.kyivpost.com and met with companies that staffed information booths.

They also filled the assembly hall to capacity to listen to experts discuss a wide range of employment subjects during four workshops.

“With the start of the Euro 2012 football championships less than a year away, Ukraine’s job market is expected to grow as the agony of the 2009 global economic crisis recedes,” said Jim Phillipoff, CEO of Public Media, which publishes the Kyiv Post. “In this more competitive environment, the Kyiv Post is committed to giving both employers and job seekers the tools they need to get ahead and stay ahead in the economy.”
