FIRST STEP TOWARDS A CAREER
Izmir University of Economics (IUE) brought its students and graduates together with human resources managers as part of the Career Day Event. Human resources officials from 18 companies interviewed students and graduates at the event organized by IUE Career Guidance Center.
Students got a chance to increase employment opportunities before they graduated with the participation of different companies such as Abalıoğlu Yem, BroadAngle, CMS, Çimentaş, EDAK, Ernst-Young, Hugo Boss, KPMG, Migros, Norm Cıvata, etc. Simge Atamer, Coordinator of IUE Career Guidance Center, stated that the company representatives interviewed students and graduates and took their CV’s all throughout the day. Atamer said, “Our purpose was to bring seniors and graduates together with human resources managers, and provide them an employment and internship opportunity. We got positive feedback from both sides. The most important outcome of this event was the fact that our students become more aware about professional work life. Our students begin to steer their career early on. They get a vision about their future line of business and future company they want to work at.”
‘Close eye on job interviews’
Atamer indicated that the companies expanded their network with students’ CV’s and students, on the other hand, got a chance to experience job interviews. “Our students took their first steps toward a professional life successfully,” said Atamer.
