Whether or not you are looking for a job, a career day is a great place for you to conduct company research, explore numerous career opportunities, make personal contacts that can lead to a job, gather information from potential employers, find out what an employer values in its employees and demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively.

A good resume can sometimes be your one and only chance to capture a potential employer’s attention. This is the message that came out strongly during the CV and Interview Workshop recently held at the North-West University’s (NWU) campus in Vanderbijlpark.

“A career fair offers university students a unique insight into the world of work, and the path that professionals took to reach their current level of employment. We, at the Career Centre, believe that these face-to-face interactions with future employers will inspire our students to not only make smart choices when it comes to internships and employment, but also motivate them to do their best in terms of their academic performance.”

A total of 1 400 students will graduate during the upcoming Autumn Graduation Ceremony of the North-West University’s (NWU) campus in Vanderbijlpark.
