Table discussion with Professor on Career Fair

We consistently conduct career awareness talks such as ‘gearing towards the job,’ ‘getting that dream job,’ ‘interview skills,’ and ‘grooming training’. Based on the theme we organized a table discussion with Professor M. Sunil Shantha the Vice Chancellor (VC) and senior staffs of Sabaragamuwa University yesterday at the VC office.

As we planned our organization works to mobilize the youth hand-in-hand with universities, training institutions and employers who are major stakeholders in the institution’s output. Training institutions, employers are the ultimate resources for career guidance centers to find out what the current employment trends are, current skills needed to be employed and employer expectations. 

Career fairs are equal opportunity events for job seekers and employers alike. Employers meet, inform and interview hundreds of potential applicants, while job seekers get the chance to ask questions, talk up their skills and make important connections. If you’re headed to a career fair, keep in mind that you’ll be talking to a ton of people, and your appearance will be a big part of your networking success. Check yourself in a mirror before going inside, and periodically throughout the day. Wear a professional outfit and stylish (yet sensible) shoes. Carry a small bottle of water and breath mints, in case your mouth gets dry.
