UKEC - Graduan Fair 2008
Reading Mei's blog had somehow reminded me of my forgotten blog, shall do some update now. Haven't been doing much throughout the Easter holidays, been staying at home for the past 1 1/2 week, thanks to online gaming @ World of Warcraft (WoW).
Somehow during this period, I was forwarded an e-mail bearing the details of a graduates fair by Malaysian companies, organised by the United Kingdom & Eire Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC) down at University College London (UCL). Decided to just head down and see what's the hoo-ha about this fair. Managed to get two-way bus tickets for £14 and two nights stay at a 2-star hotel for £30 per night.
Had an interesting discussion with Mel over the fair, yeah and agreed that although it is beneficial for students as to having such career/graduate fairs around, its the prerogrative of the students/graduates to go around looking for opportunities for summer internship or netting themselves a career which they would love to pursue. Such fairs defeat the purpose of making the students/graduates appreciating their hardwork and trouble in getting the job (reading up, getting prepared for interview etc.), and to be honest, it is more like spoonfeeding to the students/graduates.
Well enough of ranting about the fair. Not that its really important anyway, and for those interested, have a look at the participating partners of the fair in the poster below.
