What do graduates wish for? – Job fair experiences 2024
The main purpose of a job fair is to establish a direct relationship between students who are still studying and their future employers. There are large crowds at employers' stands, often there is quite a short time to talk to candidates in depth. Still, it is very important to make a good impression and stand out from the crowd. In recent years, the WHB GROUP has been a continuous participant of job fairs organized by the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the University of Debrecen. The most important focus of our presence is the education of young people, building and raising awareness of the employer brand among university students.
In April 2024, we visited job fairs in Győr and Debrecen in this spirit, where we helped and provided information to inexperienced career starters in preparing for job search.
At both events, it was revealed that the most important criteria of Gen Z are: rapid professional development and flexibility (in working hours, space, tasks, etc.). The benefits package was third in the ranking, and we were surprised to see how confident they were when it came to the event when it came to salaries and fringe benefits.
In the case of both university job fairs, visitors could participate free of charge in various personal counselling, mock interviews.
"We believe that the key to WHB GROUP's results is the excellent professionals in our offices and project locations. Our most important task at the job fair was to capture the attention of engineers starting their careers in this completely different environment.
The main advantage of our group over its competitors is that the engineers of the WHB GROUP do not only perform partial tasks, but also participate in the entire project implementation. At our stand, we guided visitors through the phases of the implementation of some of our projects and the tasks of certain jobs, so that those interested could get to know the preparation, and on-site management” (Eszter Várady Head of HR at WHB Group)
