The festival was held today, November 16, at Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology to provide students with more recruitment and employment-related information.
At the festival, Tran Quang Thieu, a fourth-year information technology student, was immediately attracted to the job recruitment information boards. Thieu carefully read everything from the number of recruits, job openings, requirements, and salary and bonus information.
Thieu claimed that in the first year, he actively looked for jobs, earned more income, and more importantly, gained professional experience.
Last year, Thieu applied to join a technology company as a data analyst. Demanding experience and time pressure, you are only paid 2 million VND/month.
“Working as an official specialist pays much less, but I still try to gain experience and get used to the work environment so that I won’t be surprised when I graduate,” Thieu said.
Hong Duyen, a foreign language student, said that the mentality of only worrying about studies is no longer appropriate. Many businesses only want to hire people with experience, so if you just work hard, it won’t be easy to find a job when you graduate.
“Learning goes hand in hand with practice, or if you practice more than study, it will be in line with the current job market trends and requirements,” Duyin said with a smile.

Along with recruitment and employment activities, the Festival also includes an Information Technology Exhibition, a series of seminars “Orientation to Information Technology”, and a performance night welcoming new students.
The technology exhibition at the festival attracted many businesses and training institutions to participate, and introduced many new products, models and technologies. Notably, the Festival also offers several long-term and short-term training courses on Information Technology for students.
On this occasion, IT Day 2023 will also have seminars combining several units: career orientation, new age technology solutions; Master effective CV writing and interview skills. Which will help the students to become more confident and empower themselves in their job search journey.

5 scholarships for network and cloud server management courses were awarded to 5 students with various circumstances and achievements by the units involved in the festival – Photo: CONG TRIEU
