I would like to thank Career and Employment Services of our university for organizing such a good event of speed dating with companies. It is a real platform for getting hired by a five-minute talk with future colleagues. For me, this event turned to be fruitful with an offer from JTI company for HR intern position.

“Everything went cool, I was even upset that time passed so quickly) this is an excellent training for those students who are looking for work in order to stop worrying about an interview). Some companies, for example, Danone and L’Oréal, spoke about the contest, where you need to participate in order to get to them! A few days later I was invited to an interview with several companies”
