Creating Job Opportunities for You

The Career Development Centre (CDC) introduces various opportunities to connect students with industry professionals and prospective employers.

Recruitment talks and company visits

Job search can be a daunting task. How do you identify companies and opportunities that align with your passions and skill sets? Do the companies support career and personal development? You can discover answers to these questions through recruitment talks and company visits.

Attending these recruitment events and visiting the company premises allow you to elicit critical information to secure your desired opportunities. Conducted throughout the academic year, these events also provide excellent networking opportunities with recruiters and hiring managers to create favourable impressions with potential employers across different industries.

Typically held in a more relaxed setting, you can speak with the company representatives to get a sense of the work culture, understand different career pathways and sometimes, as a bonus, even score an interview!

So look out for the weekly Friday e-newsletters and opportunities from CDC. See you at the next recruitment event! Emerson Company Visit

Career and Internship Fair

Whether you have started actively seeking career opportunities or mapped out a strategic plan in career search, SUTD Career and Internship Fair (CIF) is a fantastic place to gain exposure to your future career. CIF usually sees over 100 employers across diverse sectors on campus to offer you information on their internship and employment opportunities.

Here are some tips to get the most out of CIF:

1. Make a list: Research, strategise and map out the employers you want to speak with 2. Create your story: What makes you unique? What can you offer? 3. Engage! Stay open-minded and start conversations. Be authentic. 4. Follow-up: Collect contact details of employers you are interested in and follow up with a polite email.

While the employment market is becoming immensely competitive, career search is exciting because you have so many choices. Drop by CDC if you need to spruce up your resume before CIF. All the best! Career and Internship Fair

Industry Night

Held in September, Industry Night is SUTD’s flagship networking event organised by CDC for new industry partners across different sectors.

Attend these events to practise and enhance your networking skills by speaking to participating employers. Ask questions and establish connections. Students who are able to engage employers will stand out from a sea of undergraduates with similar qualifications.

Employers constantly highlight that they want to interact with students to learn about their interests and possible career options, so keep your eyes peeled for the registration details!

Graduate Connect

Your Senior year is hectic. Besides juggling Capstone projects and academic studies, you have to squeeze out time to secure a job before graduation. Planning ahead is key but if you are still keeping your options open before graduation, check out Graduate Connect, a targeted recruitment event, in May.

The intended purpose of Graduate Connect, is to place the graduating cohort in the limelight with employers who are keen to hire fresh graduates. More than 50 companies participated in 2020 Graduate Connect which generated more than 200 unique and exciting opportunities and job offers.

Interview Accelerator

Due to the pandemic, the hiring process has become increasingly virtual as many professionals are now working remotely. Interview Accelerator is an inaugural series of speed interviews where Seniors get to meet the employers in an intimate setting on a virtual platform. Launched by CDC, the Interview Accelerator serves as a preliminary round for hiring managers to speak to students in 10-minute sessions on a one-on-one basis.

Prepare your resume and do not miss the interview sessions so you can aim to land yourself a job before graduation. Keep a lookout for our e-newsletter and stay up to date with the opportunities available!

Forerunner

This is the event of the year that our graduating seniors should not miss as CDC invites four Alumni to share their experiences on work-life beyond campus. Remember to register if you are wondering what more you can do to prepare for your work-life after graduation, or seek to alumni increase your network with fellow SUTDents who have already started working with your dream organisations.
