During the event, many students brought their resumes and sought advice from Adecco personnel. Experts gave professional tips as to how to prepare a resume that will impress human resource managers and how to excel in the first round of an interview, all of which are skills that are relevant to any student upon graduation.
Cao Jiawei, a senior student in geo-information systems at Shanghai Normal University, took part in the activity. FESCO Adecco experts provided helpful and practical advice, Cao said.
"They even advised us on what to wear for interviews. Fresh graduates usually overlook these details," he said.
FESCO Adecco experts also gave suggestions about salary negotiations, advising students not to request exact sums. The company's experts advised students to request salaries in accordance with market rates and employee performance, Cao said.
Students need to have comprehensive and accurate recruitment information to land an ideal job, said Yang Jianjun, director of a job placement program at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Usually held between November and March, job fairs are one of the most important means of delivering this information, he said
"Those (job fairs) co-organized by universities and human resources companies provide ideal opportunities to college graduates."
FESCO Adecco's Way to Work tour event later arrived at the Zhejiang University of Science and Engineering in Hangzhou in mid-May to provide specific employment guidance to graduating students there.
