Recently, as students gathered to the eagerly awaited Career Fair, the university lobby was converted into a centre of professional prospects. The event gave students a chance to network with companies, learn about different career options, and get a step closer to landing jobs in their selected fields.

“Students must take advantage of every opportunity to learn about business and introduce themselves to future employers,” said Maria Theodosopoulou, our Careers Support Officer, summarizing the event. Due to the variety of positions available in marketing, finance, and part-time work, this event pushed students to make a strong impression on potential employers. As students actively participated in meaningful interactions with officials from leading organizations, her remarks impacted throughout the gathering.

Interacting with Industry Leaders

The event this year featured a wide range of companies, all of which provided graduate programs, internships, and part-time positions across several industries. Students gained important knowledge about their fields and the skill sets needed to succeed from these organizations. Some of the participating companies included:
