Students Share Insights on the Job Fair Central Netherlands

Wittenborg’s upcoming Job Fair Central Netherlands on Wednesday, 4 June, promises to be more than just a recruitment event — for many students, it’s a source of motivation, inspiration and clarity about their career goals.

Shirin Sadeghi, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) student, attended the previous edition and said the event gave students a new perspective on their studies and careers.

“I could see after the previous job fair, students were really encouraged to continue their education,” Sadeghi said. “It created hope and helped them realise how valuable their skills can be.”

She noted that most companies that attended in 2024 were receptive to students and willing to connect. “Companies shared their e-mail addresses and talked about resumés,” Sadeghi added. She also thought that the fair further helped reaffirm the value of focusing on in-demand skills.

Raana Nikbakht, another MBA student, also shared her experience from the previous job fair. “It was a great networking opportunity. You could talk to a lot of people and ask your questions,” she said.

Raana appreciated the opportunity to interact directly with employers, even those not actively hiring. “I think that it can be helpful, especially for students who are looking for a job or who don't know how to connect with the market in the Netherlands,” she added. “And they can get some information about what they need for a job, the requirements, or how they can improve their CVs.”

Both students highlighted the sense of encouragement the fair provided, with Nikbakht pointing out that it was especially useful for students uncertain about how to present themselves in the job market. In addition, she emphasised the importance of the LinkedIn photo session offered during the fair. This year, attendees will again have the chance to take professional LinkedIn profile photos.

For those looking to fine-tune their job applications, the fair will also feature workshops designed to provide valuable insights into career development. On 3 June 2025, Jenny Campos will lead a series of workshops tailored to bachelor’s students who are transitioning from internships or graduation into the job market.

These workshops, along with the job fair, offer a unique opportunity for students to take significant strides toward their career goals. Make sure to register as a participant here.
