Career opportunities available include accounting, audit, taxation, banking, tech and computing, customer service, engineering, human resources, marketing, sales, project management and more.
Attended by employers from the industries, it will be a great opportunity for the students to network with the companies that they are interested in. Besides networking with employers, students will get the opportunity to make new friends that share common interests during the career fair. Students get to introduce their education, abilities, experiences, and competencies. Company representatives at the career fair have informed them about their job openings and their hiring processes.
Before attending the career fair, students have done some research about each company represented at the career fair. This is to make sure the employer can review and have a good impression of the potential candidates.
This event is valuable for students who are looking for internships and permanent jobs as it will help them secure a more stable future in their career path. In total, the career fair had 442 participants in attendance.
