| Careers International Spring Events 2012 |
Our recruitment events in London, Berlin and Brussels are “invitation-only” events, meaning all received applications will be pre-screened by Careers International team and then by the participating companies, who decide which candidates they want to see for an interview. All pre-scheduled interviews are real first-round interviews, many candidates receive job offers or invitations to follow up interviews/assessment centres as a direct result of the personal meeting with the companies at the event. Candidates can also organise on-the-spot interviews during the events. For those three events, we are expecting around 15 participating companies per event and we will cover the accommodation for up to 200 candidates at each event. Please check out www.careersinternational.com for further information! Engineering Excellence London: 30-31 March, in London. Target group: Any engineering background, 0-2 years of experience.
