Seminar on Career Development and Job Fair

Prof Dr. Afjal Hossain

DHAKA University Marketing Department arranged career Development Seminar and Job Fair on the 16th and 17th of this month in the conference room at Faculty of Business Studies. This is the first program of its kind arranged by the 8th batch BBA students of Marketing department. Sixteen domestic and multinational firms participated in this program which includes Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, The Commercial Bank of Ceylon, The City Bank Ltd., CityCell, Maersk Bangladesh Ltd, ACI, Pran, Bitopi Advertising Ltd., Unitrend, Ace's High Inc., Bashundhara Group, Unilever, NIIT, Signet Consultants and all these firms had opened up their own stalls at the faculty campus, collected CVs from outgoing students, offered instant recruitment, and selected for the forth coming internship placement. The main objective of the program was to make an affiliation between employers and the potential executives. HR executives of these firms presented their papers and participated in the open discussion. The guest speakers introduced the relevant issues that would help outgoing students on their career-related issues.

The students have come to know about how to prepare CVs, face the nerve-wracking viva-voce, plan their long term careers, face the job recruitment challenges in the changing age of globalization, develop skills that add advantages for the freshers and so on. I think the participants had come to know about how to plan the career, enhance their potentials to compete in the job market and face the challenges to enter into better careers. They are now on the right track to fulfill their career dreams. I also feel that this program has helped my students discover themselves in a new way. This program also be an instance to follow be future students of this department.
