The AUD Career Fair, held this week in the E-building\u2019s Rotunda, is back with a wider array of companies for every major.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A challenge from previous Career Fairs was the lack of diversity in companies, and opportunities for the variety of majors in the university- with the business major being primarily catered to. Students have responded positively to this year\u2019s change, and accomodation to the array of majors.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis years concept is way better, since last year there weren\u2019t that many diverse companies. For my major, I couldn\u2019t find any opportunity, so maybe this year by having different companies each day, it will be better,\u201d Sandy Boutros, a junior Architecture student, said to the MBRSC Post.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another challenge from previous years is that companies would participate in the career fair with their only objective being marketing, although this has been solved.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[It is] mandatory for [the companies] to be recruiting, otherwise they were not allowed to come in for just the sole purpose of marketing their company,\u201d said Cynthia Samaha, Career Services Coordinator at AUD.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only did recruiters offer internships, and full-time opportunities for undergraduate and post-graduate students, but many companies, including household names like Bosch Middle East and Citibank, hosted workshops, CV clinics, and mock interviews.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Career Hunt is also bringing international opportunities that allow students to branch out of the UAE. AIESEC, which is a non-profit organization run by youth for youth, was present on the first day of the week.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AIESEC offers \u201cexchange opportunities to young students between ages 18-30 years old looking to have a life-changing experience while they work abroad, including 124 countries,\u201d Mehdi Sherif, the National Director of AIESEC in the UAE, said to the MBRSC Post .
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AUD Career Hunt is an event that aims to connect students with employers for potential opportunities, and will be back in the next academic year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
