African Virtual Job Fair to attract global talent

The AVJF seeks to draw job seekers from around the globe as well as Africans in the diaspora for career opportunities with public and private businesses.

"Our vision behind the launch of this first-ever virtual job fair is focused on meeting multiple goals," explained Yusuf Reja, chief executive officer of Zebrajobs.com. "We are committed to maintaining a climate that encourages U.S. and other foreign corporations and organisations to do business in Africa. Critical to this effort is having a talent base from which they can staff their operations. We also see the African Virtual Job Fair as a great opportunity to increase the number of jobs available for those unemployed throughout Africa and to reach out to Africans in the diaspora and encourage them to return to their homeland."

Job seekers will have access to the employment opportunities available from the US and other foreign corporations doing business in Africa, development organisations, the donor community, multinational organisations, international organisations, local private organisations, and government institutions. The web-based job fair will enable prospective employees to search the job listings online, submit CVs/resumes, attend networking events, obtain career advisory services, and participate in interviews.

The African Virtual Job Fair will be powered by technology developed by InXpo, a provider of privately branded virtual events, including Virtual Career Fairs.
