With a constantly changing job market, early career preparation is crucial for students to confidently enter internships and job hunting.
With that spirit in mind, on January 4th, the Faculty of Economics collaborated with partner organizations including Plustalent Consulting and Training JSC, Kien Nhan JSC, and Social GoldenTime to organize the "Career Cafe experience: CV-PDV Mentoring Hub" program , providing an open, practical, and highly personalized career counseling space for students.
Reportedly, the program is part of the "Career Preparation" series of activities, aiming to connect students with human resource experts, managers, and career coaches from many reputable businesses and corporations.
Attending the program were Dr. Tang My Ha - Standing Deputy Head of the Faculty of Economics, Dr. Nguyen Duy Quang - Head of the Digital Economics Department, Mr. Louis Vo - Technical Marketing Executive, GIGA-BYTE Technology Co., Ltd, which is also the main sponsor of the program, along with representatives from partner organizations and 20 experienced mentors who directly guide and support students in each professional activity.
The “Career Cafe experience: CV-PDV Mentoring Hub” is designed with a “hub” mentoring model – where UEF students not only listen to shared experiences but also directly practice and receive personalized feedback from experts. Here, students receive support in building and refining their CVs, planning their personal development roadmap (PDP), practicing mock interviews, and developing professional communication skills in an environment closely resembling real-world recruitment.
Each mentoring session becomes a two-way dialogue, through which students gain a clearer understanding of their own abilities, strengths, areas for improvement, and how to present themselves persuasively to potential employers.
Through the insights shared by mentors, UEF students gain a more realistic perspective on business requirements, current human resource trends, and the core skills needed to adapt to a professional work environment. Mentors also act as guides, helping students define clearer goals and avoid uncertainty during the transition from the classroom to the job market.
The program was lively and open, with active participation from a large number of students. From CVs filled with uncertainties to incomplete personal development plans, UEF students gradually gained more confidence as they listened to, received feedback from, and received direct guidance from experienced professionals in human resources and management. The event also provided an opportunity for students to cultivate proactive thinking, a spirit of learning, and adaptability.
The “Career Cafe experience: CV-PDV Mentoring Hub” concluded with many positive impressions, further motivating students of the Faculty of Economics in particular and UEF students in general to be more confident on their path to conquering recruiters.
