When students are serious about career

Everjobs Bangladesh, a German based job portal company, arranged the workshop on building up career. This dynamic workshop was held at United International University (UIU)  on June 8, 2016. UIU HR FORUM assisted in arranging the event. 

Everjobs offers suitable jobs for job seekers. Also the companies who are searching young and fresh-talented minds can be found on this site. The website offers the jobseekers to upload their CVs and organisations to pick them up.  

Everjobs is focusing on its promotional activities around the city. Just like last year, Everjobs visited again with much more surprises and kept their charm to entertain the students of UIU. The room full of enthusiastic students enjoyed every bit of the programme. The session started with Araf Habib, the head of marketing and branding, Kaymu Bangladesh. He shared his experience of marketing and branding at Kaymu. He also emphasized the growth opportunity of marketing as a career. Then Mohsinul Haque, the director of Human Resources of Coca-cola Bangladesh, came to the stage and shared his vast experience of coca-cola industry. The students got highly motivated by his speech and his interactive session with students helped them to know a lot more about human resources. He also shared some tips about how to attend an interview session. 

Sabirul Islam has been always a good inspiration to the young generation. He is famous for his  ‘Inspire 1 million’ campaign to motivate young generation to achieve success. Now he is the brand ambassador and managing director of Everjobs. He started his speech by famous stories and then gradually continued the session by motivating the students. There is something in him that always attracts the audience and this time his magic worked once again. His astounding speeches inspired the students and it was a very good experience. The last but not the least, the man of the moment, Gijs Verheijke, the CEO Asia  of Everjobs took the microphone and then started his speech by asking the students about their ideas of CV. He took some questions first and then started his speech. He shared his experience on how to write an effective CV and how to make it different from others and also shared some tips about how to make a standard  CV.

"Having a good CGPA is not everything. We need to have the sort of skills i.e. interpersonal, organisational, IT and most importantly communication skills that can separate us from others and having experience of extra-curricular activities and achievements are just a cherry on the top. CV is the stepping stones of our professional career," said  President of  UIU HR Forum Sohag Chandra Roy.

There was also an instant walk-in interview with Everjobs. There were few posts available and students of UIU were given the opportunity to apply for them. The whole programme was broadcast live from UIU HR Forum's official page. The media partners of the event were the Financial Express, My TV, Radio City Fm and Radio Dhoni 91.2 fm.
