Eng'g Job Fair Draws Crowds
By Jonas Roque
Moving Ahead...Taking the Lead...Overtaking the Rest. This was the theme of the 2005 UP College of Engineering Job Fair, held last last January 10-14, 2005 and organized by the Career Assistance Program for Engineering Students (CAPES). Engineering students, some of them from the Department of Computer Science, trooped to Melchor Hall and seized the rare opportunities provided by the companies present, such as ABS-CBN, Accenture, ADTX Systems, Canon, Convergys, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lexmark, Procter & Gamble, Soluziona, and Unilever. Booths were set-up at the Melchor Hall Lobby to accept the job applications, both for full-time positions and on-the-job-training (OJT). Some companies also conducted talks to give light on their vision and mission and to explain how the job hopefuls will be involved in achieving the companies' goals.. Applicants also took job examinations and attended interviews held within the Melchor Hall premises. With more than 40 participating companies, a number greater than those of previous years, a wider range of prospects opened up to the students, both graduating and undergraduate.
