That was the message clearly brought across to students during the SIM GE Career and Internship Fairs 2019. Look out for our Career Fairs in February and October!

“FDM Group really enjoyed meeting with SIM graduates at the career fair. We met with a lot of students who are looking to pursue a career within the IT industry! The career fair is a great opportunity to meet with students to discuss their career paths and interests. Even if you’re not graduating until the following year, it’s a great opportunity to meet prospective employers to get guidance on the job market and understand what else you can do in your spare time to add value to your CV!” - Annika Kataria, Regional Recruitment Manager, FDM Group

“It was a fairly eye-opening experience whereby I was able to communicate directly with companies I am aiming to apply for when I graduate. As an international student, it helps set my expectations and motivate me to improve my skills in order to be a more employable person.” - Michelle, Year 2, SIM-RMIT Bachelor of Business (Accountancy)

“The career fair was a fantastic experience as it exposed me to a range of potential employers that I can approach for an internship or a graduate programme. Over the years, Career Development Office has been doing a great job by gathering more prestige firms from different sectors into the fair, which provides students with a platform to locate and communicate with potential future employers.” - Anthony Ang, Year 2, SIM-RMIT, Bachelor of Business (Accountancy)
