Very insightful seminar! I learned a lot of tips and tricks on how to assert myself better. After the seminar, I felt motivated and eager to apply these teachings.

Year 13 students are taking charge of their future! I typically receive 2-3 questions after a workshop, students at The Sydney Russell School wanted another presentation! Intrigued young minds were thirsty to know more about practical skills in the work place, life at university and how to invest money. Here is how you can support ambitious Year 13 students: Mentorship: Offer guidance and share your wisdom about various industries and the skills they require. Exploration: Encourage them to attend career fairs, workshops, and webinars to gain exposure to different fields. Networking: Connect them with professionals in their desired industries, helping them build valuable connections. 🤝🌟 P.S Samiul I. and 10 other students connected with me on LinkedIn. I have young minds following me, so be prepared for more content. Thank you Bernice A for booking the workshops. #GlobalMoneyWeek2024 #FinancialEducation #lifeskills #careersearch

When it comes to career growth, are you asking the right questions? Sure, by now you know to research the companies you're interested in and to show up in your Sunday best, but are you asking questions that will truly help you find the right opportunity for you? ❓🤔   With career fairs, industry days, and networking sessions right around the corner, the opportunity to discuss potential employment can be daunting. Whether you're inquiring about an open position or already interviewing, making sure you're asking questions about your fit at the company is essential. 🤝💼   This list is far from exhaustive, but it may help you develop questions about what your experience may actually look like. You can always find information about the company and job listings online, but you can't ask questions about culture, growth, and team dynamics without the opportunity to speak with someone from the team. Use your time at these sessions wisely, read the room, and make sure you're advocating for yourself as an individual. ✨   Looking to show off some of these skills in-person? Come see us! - WVU Career Fair on February 1st 💙💛 - MIS Career and Industry Day on February 28th 🤝💼 - 3rd annual TECH YEAH Conference on June 19th and 20th! 💻🔒 #careerfair #industryday #networking #internship #career #wvu #yeswv #professionaldevelopment #mountaineer

Applying to internship and new grad positions can feel soulless as I remember being rejected from about 4% of the positions I applied to, interviewed by about 1%, and completely ghosted by the other 95%. Yeah. 95%. I'm sure many of you have had the same experience. Especially when specifically applying for sustainability-focused startups whose missions' I was really excited about- this was demoralizing. I also missed out on so much feedback that could've helped me for future roles. Eventually, I came to realize directly meeting people through events and cold outreach was a much more effective way to find and actually get interviews for these roles. This is why we decided to host a virtual career fair for students to meet sustainability-focused companies who are looking to hire them! We have over 170 students and recent grads signed up so far and would love to have you join.

I'm honored to share that I will be part of the panelists at the Zetech University Career Fair 2024, taking place from 16th to 18th October 2024 under the theme "Youth Skilling for Entrepreneurship and the Labor Market." During the event, I'll be discussing alongside other industry experts, some crucial topics to empower students and young professionals, including: ✅ Importance of Continuous Education in a Rapidly Changing Job Market ✅ Job Market Trends ✅ CV Writing - Crafting a Winning Resume ✅ Preparing for Interviews - Standing Out as a Candidate ✅ Impact of Social Media in Job Seeking ✅ Leveraging Attachment, Internships, and Volunteering to Prepare for Employment The career fair is a great opportunity for students to get insights and advice directly from industry professionals on navigating the job market and preparing for a successful future. I look forward to engaging with the bright minds at Zetech University and contributing to their journey. Let's skill, let's grow, and let's build a better tomorrow! #CareerFair #YouthEmpowerment #ZetechUniversity #CareerDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #JobMarketSkills #CareerGrowth #HR #ContinuousLearning

Career fairs are an essential platform that connects the academic world with the professional sphere. For undergraduates, these events provide invaluable opportunities to network with industry leaders, explore potential career paths, and gain a deeper understanding of employer expectations. More than just job searching, it’s a chance to secure internships and develop skills that can lead to long-term success. For companies, participating in career fairs is a powerful way to engage with emerging talent, build a pipeline for future recruitment, and foster relationships with motivated, high-potential students. It also allows companies to contribute to students’ professional development while reinforcing their brand presence within the academic community. We are thrilled to announce that Horizon Campus Annual Career Fair 2024 will take place on 30th October, bringing together our bright undergraduates and top employers. We sincerely thank the companies that have already confirmed their participation. If you haven’t yet registered but would like to be part of this exciting event, there’s still time! Contact us at nalika@horizoncampus.edu.lk to learn how you can participate and help shape the future workforce. Let’s work together to inspire and empower the next generation of professionals! #CareerFair2024 #HorizonCampus #FutureLeaders #InternshipOpportunities #TalentAcquisition #ShapingTheFuture #UniversityIndustryPartnership #CareerDevelopment #CorporateEngagement #CareerCraft

The Edtech Career Fair is Today (9-26-24) 4:30 – 6:30 PM Central Time Login: https://lnkd.in/gjaigSSw This is a Directory of the current Companies and Advice Tables: https://shorturl.at/JRTWu We’ll be using Remo, which allows for multiple tables of small group video chat.  These are not interviews, but a chance to learn more about the companies and their open positions. We’ll also have a plethora of Advice Tables from people working in various roles in Edtech. Think of Remo like a large room with tables. You can click on a table to join the small group video chat. Throughout the event jump from table to table to join the conversations that interest you. To accommodate all the job seekers, we need a lot of rooms. The rooms are on floors 1-6, and we even need 3 buildings in Remo to accommodate everyone. At the center-top of the screen you will see a menu for Floors 1-6. To the left of that menu is another menu for Spaces which allows you to go between buildings. #edtechjobs #hiring 

To all incoming students, Want to know more about Career fairs? First things first, YouTube it! My next question is, do you know what an Elevator Pitch is? Imagine yourself in an Elevator with an employer and you have 30 seconds to convey your idea/ story, what all would you say? The answer seems scary, perhaps it is very simple. Prepare your #elevatorpitch so strong and thorough that even if you meet an employer at a networking event or even on a staircase you should be able to speak confidently and in a realistic way. A #careerfair is a place where you can showcase yourself to land with at least an interview. So, I’d recommend a few things: 1.      Before career fair, prepare your elevator pitch of 30 -45 sec. 2.      Practice it in front of the mirror. 3.      Once you have the list of companies attending, form two lists - companies which are hiring graduates and the rest. 4.      Target those booths first which are hiring graduates. Do not waste your time elsewhere. Go as per your priority. 5.      If time permits, please visit other booths. You’ll at least get to network with them and also you’ll get to practice speaking with employers. Visit as many booths as possible. It will be exhausting however this is your chance and take advantage of it to the fullest. And attend as many career fairs as possible. Take notes. Pen down everyone’s name you meet and send them a thank you note within 24hrs highlighting a thing you both clicked on during your conversation. If I have missed including something or you have any questions, reach out and we can have a quick call. Remember, a career fair is not a place which lands you with an internship. However, it is a platform that provides you with a potential #internship opportunity. Do not mix them both. #fall24 #graduates #mastersstudents #incomingstudents #universitylife Post : 5

New year brings new season of career fairs. Back at Oakland University connecting with everyone and interviewing candidates for business planning positions on my team at Stoneridge. Kaleb Baublitz, MBA, it’s ALWAYS a pleasure working with you. Now you can tell from my demeanour if I am excited about the candidates I’ve interviewed…. that’s scary and cool at the same time. #businessanalytics #businessanalysis #internship #careerfair
