HEC MBA Second Annual Career Fair Is a
Major Recruitment Success
Sponsored by The International Herald Tribune
The HEC MBA Program hosted a successful second annual HEC MBA International Career Fair at Paris’s Sofitel, Forum Rive Gauche, on Friday 15 April 2005. The International Herald Tribune, the world’s daily newspaper, sponsored the Career Fair, which brought together 20 leading companies along with almost 200 MBA participants in the HEC MBA Program.
Entitled Searching for Talent, the recruitment fair consisted of a broad range of well known companies. Thanks to a committee of HEC MBA participants, in collaboration with the Career Development Services, the event planning was executed flawlessly. Last year’s fair, sponsored by BT Retail, was held in London and also proved to be a recruitment success for participants and companies alike.
“For the second annual Career Fair, 20 registered companies gained privileged access to the talent profiles of the HEC MBA Program,” said Clare Gaffney, Director of the MBA Career Development Services, Corporate Relations. “I would like to praise the professionalism with which the MBA participant’s careers committee went about organizing this outstanding event. It represents a tribute to their entrepreneurial abilities and bodes well for their future success.”
