The University life is one of the most remarkable times of all. But the life afterwards with a new society to live on, is remarkably important to build the future. So choosing the correct career and handling it correctly is little bit strange to a new comer to the corporate society. With the prime objective of breaching the gap between the corporate sector and the undergraduates, the University of Moratuwa hosted their Official Careers fair recently.

‘Are You Ready? 2013’, the Official Careers Fair of the University of the Moratuwa was organized by the Rotaract Club of the University of Moratuwa in collaboration with the University Career Guidance Unit encompassing six sessions based on different perspectives of professional development. The first session, ‘CV Clinic’ which was held earlier in October, was primarily based on the composition of a ‘killer CV’ so as to attract the employer. The rest of the sessions were held during the careers week in December. The sessions: ‘Engineers’ Forum’, a panel discussion among leading engineering professionals in the country on current issues and future trends in engineering, ‘The Criterion’, an educational seminar with the objective of developing the professional skills of the soon-to-be graduates and ‘YOUTM’, a workshop on personal branding and developing the professional network were held back-to-back before the ‘Flagship Day’ of the program, so as to prepare them for their ‘big day’ in the future to come. The ‘Flagship Day’ was the most attractive session of the ‘Are You Ready?’ lineup, where final year undergraduates were given the opportunity to face real and mock interviews conducted by the foremost companies in the country. Around 70 interview panels from more than 50 recognized companies took part in the event whilst more than 600 final year undergraduates faced the interviews.
