Tech Startup Job Fair Lisboa Spring 2017 at Microsoft

Yesterday at Microsoft's facilities in Lisbon there was tech Tech Startup Job Fair Lisbon Spring 2017.

TechStartupJobs is a partner of the TechMeetups family. That allows young people to have contact with company from start-ups, agencies, Ccnsultancies, small and medium enterprises to large organizations. These companies can post opportunities to attract new employees, partners and co-founders. This wind does not only happen in Portugal and can see the next dates and places in http://www.techstartupjobs.com.

Microsoft is increasingly more open, even sponsoring job fairs. At this event, there were not only Portuguese companies.

 

Algumas das empresas/startup presentes

I can say that it was a full House, people excited and there were funny moments.


More about the event.

Was there any cost?
It had a cost for companies, but not for those who were looking/visit, registration was mandatory like any event.

Were there any job offer constraints on the company's present?

Unfortunately yes, some of the offers had an age limit up to 30 years. Although I am over 30 years old I still consider myself young. 

What kind of offers were there?

Mainly IT offerings, system administrators, C# or Java developers and more.

Does this mean that these events are only for young people?

No !!!

Is it worth going to these events?

Of course yes! For those who know me I'm at almost every public event held at Microsoft Lisbon. It's not because it's free, it's mainly about Networking, conviviality and fun. And I always see people known as António Lourenço and I invited you to visit his blog in http://antoniolourenco.com/.

Where can I check out the upcoming Tech Startup Job Fair?
At the following Internet address http://techmeetups.com/events/category/job-fair/.


I want to thank the Microsoft DX team for getting these events and othersand to continue the good work.

Através do cartão da comunidade

2 months ago the organizers launched the initiative with the community card, which is valid for all those who participate in the meetings of the following groups / technical communities involved.

You only need to attend 3 meetings and have a proof of how you participated in these communities and will be enough to get a free ticket for the event, please ask the respective groups / technical communities.


But why the ticket price ?
"Since a couple of years, we have been tackling the problem of the people who would register at the events (SQLSaturdays, SharePointSaturday, Tuga IT, etc) and not appear at all. We had situations where well over 50% of the registered people did not appeared. "

And this has resulted in a waste of food and the people who were on the waiting list did not have the chance because the facilities have a visitor limit. 

Fortunately, event volunteers are able to distribute excess food to Refood (www.re-food.org) so nothing is wasted.
