CVs were ready, cover letters were filed and students were
dressed to impress. Dubai Science Park was buzzing with job seekers today, as
it opened its doors to fresh graduates with an engineering or biomedical
background. The School of Life Sciences attended a career fair at the Dubai
Science Park, today, to familiarize themselves with the job scenario within the
region.
The career fair hosted reputable companies such as PSNL,
Himalaya, Amerispecs, Pfizer, among others, all under one roof. Students
were required to carry multiple copies of their CVs along with them and were
asked to drop their CVs at the stalls of the companies that appealed to them.
From CV writing techniques to insightful networking
sessions, the career fair covered all career related needs in a nutshell. Most
students know what they want from a company when they apply for a certain job
role, but it is equally important to understand what companies expect from
prospective candidates.

"How do I structure my CV, how long should it be, what achievements go into a CV and what stays out?" You may have often racked your brains trying to find answers to these questions. The students found their answers to these questions in a valuable session on CV writing techniques and were given tips to ace a job interview.
Fruitful and productive, the career fair catered to both;
students keen on life sciences and engineering.
"This was a great exposure for us, since we learnt about the
real world of business and job hunt and even how to communicate with people," commented final year Life Sciences student, Duena Mazarello.
