Nepal is reeling under a nationwide lockdown for the last two months due to the socioeconomic crisis incited by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
The pandemic has obliged companies to downsize their operations and fire employees. Apart from having a financial plan to deal with a job loss, finding another job during the ongoing crisis became tough. It is even challenging for new job seekers to get an employment opportunity.<\/p>\n
Acknowledging the harsh reality, some private IT companies have come forward to create employment opportunities for the people in need.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Girls In Tech Nepal in collaboration with Jobdynamics.com and Genese Cloud Academy has successfully organized a ‘Virtual Job Mela,’ the first of its kind virtual IT job fair in Nepal on June 1, 2020.<\/p>\n
The job fair witnessed participation of 30+ IT companies and 500+ enthusiastic job seekers.<\/p>\n
A few weeks before the job fair, the interested participants were asked to fill applications, and shortlisted applicants were notified through email.<\/p>\n
During the fair, applicants were facilitated with real-time virtual access to browse different companies, check openings and chat with the company representatives.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the employers and applicants were connected through video conferencing tools such as ZOOM.<\/p>\n

Dinesh Silwal, CEO of Datalytics Pvt. Ltd., expressed happiness in participating in the virtual job fair.<\/p>\n
“It was our first time participating in a job fair of this kind. Normally, we want to be in the room with somebody and look them in the eye when we want to offer them a job. But the virtual job fair is a new reality. It provided us a unique experience. We have hired a few team members through this job fair,” said Dinesh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
