General Info for Career Fairs

The IHU Career Fair is an annual recruiting event that connects local and international employers with IHU students. The IHU Career Fair is a great opportunity to learn about a range of possible jobs and meet prospective employers face to face. During the Career Fair, a large number of potential employers or recruiters are gathered in a central location in order to give potential employees information about their companies and any open positions.

Students find many reasons for attending a career fair, depending on their job-search cycle:

• Networking: One of the key benefits of attending a career fair is to meet new recruiters, other job-seekers, and career professionals. Meeting recruiters and even fellow graduates helps you build useful contacts for future reference.
• Learning industry information: Speaking to job recruitment professionals in your chosen sector is a great way to learn about the industry.
• Gathering information about companies: Investigating the kind of graduate placements offered by a company tells you a lot about that organization as a whole.
• Internships: Establish contacts to obtain an internship for an upcoming semester or summer.
• Gain Experience: Even if you are not currently in the job market, the opportunity is there to gain valuable experience and effectively practice professional communication with recruiters and other future colleagues.
