IJF focus on engaging

VISITOR engagement was at
the centre of planning the 2015
Sydney International Jewellery
Fair, which was held 29-31 Aug
at Sydney Exhibition Centre @
Glebe Island.
There were over 6,000 qualified
buyers and almost 200 Australian
and international exhibitors.
Trade shows are serious
business but they also need to be
exciting, said SEC@GI gm Malu
Barrios.
The fair featured 30min
educational sessions through the
day and the inaugural Jewellery
Design and Manufacturing
Championships, where jewellers
across several categories
competed within set time frames.
There was also a host of
competitions and a themed New
York Pizza and Paella bar.
To enhance Expertise Events
initiatives, the Centre team
focused on delivering food
and beverage hubs that were
destinations by themselves,
Barrios said.
To finish off the show, a graffiti
artist painted a Melbourne
tram to reveal the Fairs next
destination.
Ben on BEN
Each month Business Manager for
inPlace Recruitment, Ben Carnegie,
writes his observations from the
recruiters perspective to help job
hunters find the perfect job.
Ben has over 15 years working
in five star hotels and the MICE
industry and has worked on some of
Australias biggest events.
How long
is a piece of
string?
I HIT 7 years
with inPlace
last week and
Im regularly
being asked,
Has the 7 year
itch kicked in?
Not a chance!!
It did lead me
to think about tenure in your
career. How long is too long and
what is the minimum length of
time you should stay in a job?
Job hopping is not something
that fills future employers with
confidence & conversations with
employers have indicated, to
get 2 years from an employee
is an acceptable minimum. You
only damage your reputation
by changing jobs every 6 12
months. Staying long term in
one business is fine provided
that you keep growing and
achieving. The same role in the
same company for 10 years
will get you pigeon holed but if
you are regularly promoted or
continually grow your results
year on year then this is also
viewed positively. Theres no
perfect answer, just make the
most of your time in each role.
