Swiss-Chinese Career Symposium 2019

Welcome Note This year, the Swiss-Chinese Career Symposium will take place for the third time. This event reflects the long-lasting Sino-Swiss friendship, which began in 1965 with the establishment of diplomatic relations and culminated in 2014 with the signing of a Free Trade Agreement between Switzerland and China. In 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the WEF in Davos and previously met with representatives of the Federal Council. Today, the bilateral trade volume exceeds CHF 24 billion and China is now amongst the Top 5 of Switzerland's largest trading partners. It is estimated that bilateral investments between China and Switzerland are well above CHF 100 billion.

Not only the economic and political exchange between the two countries is crucial, but also the personal one. In recent years, Chinese students have been one of the largest groups of foreign students in Switzerland. The number of Swiss students in the People's Republic of China has also increased steadily over the last years. The constantly improving trade and economic relations offer a broad stage to highly qualified specialists and interdisciplinary talents; the Swiss-Chinese Career Symposium is the appropriate event to take advantage of this development.

Some of the most prestigious Swiss Companies as well as some major Chinese Companies present themselves at the Swiss-Chinese Career Symposium. Take this opportunity and propel your career being exposed to both Swiss and Chinese business culture!

The two most relevant Swiss Associations dealing with China in particular – the Swiss-Chinese Association and the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to organize this event with together ag. We are looking forward to welcoming all exhibitors and visitors and hope for successful match-making.

HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CONVERSATION AT THE EXHIBITION STANDS Before you visit the exhibition stands and start a conversation with the company representatives, you should prepare yourself. The following guidelines will help you to get started in an interesting conversation, broaden your professional horizon and get to know exciting company representatives:

1  2  3 

Establish contact and introduce yourself The company representatives visit the Swiss-Chinese Career Symposium because they want to get to know students, graduates and young professionals like you. So you can assume that the company representatives are curious about you. If you also show interest in the person and the company, one of the most important prerequisites for a pleasant conversation is given. So don't be afraid to approach the company representative, who you think is particularly likeable, reach out and introduce yourself: – Hello Mr. Meier, my name is ... and I am studying economics at Master's level at the University of Zurich.

Creating a pleasant atmosphere Look at your counterpart and ask an introductory question to create a pleasant atmosphere. Questions on topics related to the situation are particularly suitable.

For example: – Are you satisfied with the way the fair has gone so far?

– You have your office in Bern, have you travelled well?

– etc.

Questions – Listening – Questions – Listening – . ..

After you have created a pleasant atmosphere, it's about getting all your questions answered. We have structured the sample questions along our career entry funnel:
