The Careers in Asia fair in the UK, for international students (apply for your place this month!) University of Manchester Careers Blog

The Careers in Asia fair in the UK, for international students (apply for your place this month!) The Careers in Asia recruitment fairs have been running for a number of years in the UK and some of our international students at Manchester have secured a job this way in the past. At the fairs, graduate employers visit the UK, from across Asia, to recruit international students (usually from Asia) who are currently studying in the UK. The next fair is in April 2014, but if you want to attend, you need to apply for a place by 28th February, 2014. What is the fair all about? Employers typically have a number of jobs available. Some are experienced hire posts, focusing on hiring either postgraduates or those with previous working experiences. Others are hiring for graduate entry or management trainee posts, where less formal experience is required. Who is attending this year? Some firms are already promoting their opportunities directly to the University and others are just attending the fair. Examples include: Reckitt Benckiser who have sites across Asia and are looking to hire both graduate trainee posts and expeirenced scientific roles. You can see the full list of their vacancies at: Reckitt Benckiser GCC 2014 Maybank with sites across Asia looking for students/graduates with 0-2 years working expeirences.
