THEY BEGIN THEIR CAREER WHILE THEY ARE STILL STUDENTS
Students of Izmir University of Economics started to shape their careers even before they graduate. Human Resources managers of companies and students came together, made job interviews at the “Career Fair” that was organized for the first time in Izmir at Izmir University of Economics. As the students submitted their resumes to national and international companies, they conducted their first job interviews.
Pelin Süzen, Assistant Specialist at IUE Career Guidance Centre, gave information about the fair and said that representatives from 15 companies held one on one interviews with over one thousand 500 students. Süzen said, “This is the first time that such a fair is being held. We aim to bring our students, graduates together with the HR department of companies in order to get them engaged in internship and employment opportunities. The most important advantage of this event is that the students discover the professional life before they graduate which enables them to shape their careers as students.”
Süzen indicated that the students had a chance to conduct real life interviews and get information about the companies and promote themselves at the fair and she said, “Thanks to this fair, our students started their professional lives a step ahead.”
