Today I was invited to participate in an event involving students of UPM and lecturers from the various faculties. My task is to talk to these students in a round table discussion on career after graduation, job interview and working experience. The last time I attended an interview was eleven years ago. Never the less I briefed them about the availability of many online websites that offer free job search and advice on job interview and constructing a good CV. The students are quite enthusiastic and almost all of them had in their mind what type of career they would like to get once they graduated from the UPM. I reminded them that they need to hone their social and communication skills by getting involved with many activities offered by the societies and the university. After all, self confidence is very important and the desire to excel in whatever you get into is what all the employers are looking for in the fresh graduates.
