JOHOR BARU: Those looking to kick-start or advance their careers can head to the myStarjob Fair 2026 at the Mid Valley Southkey Exhibition Centre to explore hundreds of vacancies across a wide range of industries.
The two-day job fair, held over the weekend on July 25 and 26 from 11am to 7pm, offers career opportunities from 19 companies, including those based in Singapore.
The fair features six job matching sessions, seven career-focused talks, four lucky draw sessions and a career quest challenge.
The talks throughout the two-day event focus on career building and provide introductions to various companies, including those in the data centre industry.
Among the companies offering job opportunities at the fair are Toyota Malaysia, DayOne Data Centers Malaysia, Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd and Mr Designer Studio.
Lifestyle sponsor Toyota Malaysia showcased a wide range of career opportunities, including positions in human resources, sales and information technology, with vacancies ranging from managerial and executive roles to entry-level positions for fresh graduates.
Visitors to its booth can also enjoy a range of promotions and offers, including cash rebates on all models.
DayOne Data Centers Malaysia early careers talent acquisition manager Kenneth Lee said the company's first participation in the fair had been a positive experience, citing strong visitor turnout and effective promotional efforts leading up to the event.
"Many visitors were curious about the data centre industry, as it remains relatively unfamiliar to many job seekers," he said.
"A lot of the questions revolved around what data centres do, the kind of opportunities we offer, and where we are located," Lee added.
He said DayOne is hiring for a wide range of technical and corporate positions, including mechanical and electrical engineering, facility management, finance, accounting, commissioning and construction roles.
Lee added that DayOne also offers opportunities for students and fresh graduates through its internship and graduate trainee programmes.
Meanwhile, Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Johor Baru outlet manager Fadzly Helmy Hamdan said the crowd had been encouraging, adding he hoped the fair would attract more job seekers throughout the weekend.
He said many visitors were keen to find out where available positions were based and whether they could apply for opportunities outside Johor.
"We encourage them to submit their resumes first, and we will contact shortlisted candidates for interviews," he said.
Fadzly said Perodua is recruiting for a range of positions across its sales, service, body and paint, and administration departments.
