It is time to get ready again, the season of job fairs 2020 begins. Job fairs offer useful orientation for entering the professional world, especially for students and Young Professionals. Companies can use these events for their Employer Branding and to trigger the interest of young talents for their businesses.
Last year, we summarized 5 tips on how to make the most of a job fair visit. These are:
1) Plan your visit well, including your journey there.
2) Prepare for your visit, like scheduling meetings beforehand.
3) Bring a short application.
4) Pay attention to a well-groomed appearance and confident behavior.
5) Stay in touch with your contact person after the job fair.
More details and additional tips can be found in the blog post itself.

For students of the HSG, the HSG Talents Conference from 26.02. to 18.03.2020 is a great event.
Those interested in a trip to Germany to learn more about jobs in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology, the Karrieremesse MINT career days are a good choice (in March, May and November). Moreover, here is an overview of job fairs and events in Germany.
Unfortunately, the Online-Karrieretag wont take place in Switzerland this year, only in Germany and Austria.
