On the 27th
and 28th of April, Sedeco participated in the job fair with the aim
to attract employees to the company. My job was to draft a speech which I had
to present to my Supervisor. The main aim was to learn the speech and to be able
to deliver the message to the public. The speech was about the company profile
and how the company functions as well as the different departments in the
company. The purpose was to convince potential job seekers to work for Sedeco
and also the main advantage working at Sedeco.
I was also responsible
for set up of tables, posters and several important materials that were needed
during the job fair. I had to assemble some pictures which had to be included
in a powerpoint presentation that was on display on a laptop so that people
could see that at Sedeco, people do work but they also know how to enjoy. One of
my tasks was also to take some pictures of the job fair as asked by my
supervisor so that next year during the job fair, new photos could be included.
There were lots
of people on both days. On the first day, I was not so confident on going to
talk to people as I was a very timid guy but by the afternoon I was confident
of myself. The next day everything went on smoothly and a large number of
candidates were shortlisted for interviews by the Human Resource Department. I
was very happy to be part of the job fair experience which came me the
opportunity not just to talk to people but also to know myself a bit more.
I was elated to
meet 4 of my high school and primary friends. It has been several years that we
did not see each other. I also met two fellow friends from CTI, Daren and
Yashera who were on the lookout for internships. Hence I would say that the job
fair experience was fine, on th last day of the job fair, I was the last one to
leave for home but I was pleased with what I had achieved.
