China Careers Fairs - Dates for Your Diary!

by Olivia Sleet

This summer, Imperial College Careers Service is heading east!

Collaborating with LSE and Cambridge, Imperial are holding three Careers Fairs in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong specifically for Chinese students – it’s your chance to meet the biggest and best in graduate recruitment.

Joined by students from Harvard, MIT and Columbia, these international events are unmissable for any Chinese students (particularly penultimate, final year and graduate students) looking to meet employers, network and learn more about selection processes. But if you need more reasons to attend:

  • It’s the best way to meet recruiters from multinationals, financial, governmental and manufacturing organisations with a strong presence in Hong Kong and China
  • At Shanghai and Beijing there will also be representatives from Chinese national and state owned companies
  • By meeting employers face to face and obtaining information about recruitment and selection processes, you can greatly improve your chances of success
  • The number of students attending are deliberately lower than at UK fairs – no more than 300 students at any venue. This means more chance for useful conversations with prospective employers!

 

Dates

Beijing - 15 August 2016

Shanghai - 17 August 2016

Hong Kong - 22 August 2016

Register your place on one of our Fairs now and learn more on the website.

 

Get Prepared!

To make the most out of your Fair, make sure your CV is up-to-date; we’ve got lots of useful resources on the website and in the Careers Service to help. Or alternatively, book a 20 minute consultation to discuss with one of our dedicated Careers Consultants.

You can also research the attending employers; the brochures for this year are on the way, but in the meantime, why not take a look at last year’s employers? You can then make sure you’re ready and informed when you meet them face to face at the Fairs.
