Each year, the initiative aims to connect job seekers with employers and provide students with the tools they need to best match their acquired skills and personal strengths with the opportunities available in the job market after graduation.

Students can connect with participating companies, organizations, and law firms at dedicated booths and attend seminars such as “From CV to Interview: Your First Job,” “From Social to Personal (Branding): Promoting Your Skills Online,” and “Graduate Programs as a Path to a Successful Future.”

Two games were held throughout the day: “Top CV,” a virtual and interactive treasure hunt where, by following a virtual coach’s instructions and answering a few questions, the most prepared students had the chance to gain a useful “nugget of wisdom” on crafting the ideal CV; and “The Interview,” a serious game in which a virtual recruiter tests students’ conversational skills and communication abilities during a mock job interview.

Finally, students took advantage of a CV check service at the Jobadvisor booth, where qualified staff provided real-time advice and guidance to make their CVs more effective and handed out the Jobadvisor Career Directory.

The event kicked off with the award ceremony for graduates who received honors in the Master’s and Single-Cycle Degree programs for the calendar year 2013 and in the extraordinary session of the 2012/2013 academic year.
