WEEK3-Job fair

HKU Job fair 2024

On-class stuff

I don't know if the HKU Job fair at the end of January is an annual fixture, but here can give you some experience. First of all most real estate companies will have landscaping positions available, but there is usually an investigation into school grades and courses taken, so just go up and ask directly at the job fair. Large engineering and construction companies will have graduate trainee programs, which is also something to consider, but property companies like Sino may only offer summer internships at job fairs, meaning they are only open to students who are still a year away from graduation.

Barry reminded in the class to look at the problem from HR's perspective, what kind of people does the company need? What kind of people are urgently needed? I can say that in a way, HR is the person in a company who has the highest overlap of interests with you, they need to fulfill the target of hiring, and you want to be hired, so thinking in their shoes is very important in this scenario.
