During the job fair, the communications between students and company HR professionals were very fruitful. Companies provided students with detailed job responsibilities, benefits and compensations, corporate culture, and opportunities for career development. They also shared in-depth conversations with students about their career planning. According to the collected data, there were over 500 students who attended the event, with companies collecting more than 1,000 CVs. This clearly demonstrated the students' proactive pursuit of career development and showcased their excellent qualities to potential employers.

IBSS Spring Job Fair successfully provided a productive channel for talent acquisition and student professional growth. It enabled students to gain deeper insights into industry dynamics, which is essential for making crucial career decisions. Our corporate partners expressed high appreciation for IBSS students as well as interest for further collaborations. In the future, IBSS will continue to enhance the connection between students and employers in the pursuit of cultivating outstanding professional talents.
