ISS First edition of Job Fair

September 15, 2007

“In the middle of difficulty lies an opportunity”

jOBfAIR

Job fairs are becoming a more common method of entry level recruiting and initial screening. It is the opportunity to reach interviewing the highest possible number of prospects in the shortest possible amount of time. For many students, job fairs provide an opportunity to meet with multiple employers in the same day.

Such was the job fair 2007, organised by the Information Systems Society, ISS, on the 5th to 8th September at the auditorium Octave Wiehe.

The job Forum, though organised by IT students, did not target only IT-related companies but others as well. There were about 20 booths in this job space and all most all of them were looking for people for immediate recruitment.

 

The exhibitors for the Job Fair 2007 were:

This forum was open not only to UoM students but also to all secondary and other tertiary students.

It was a matchmaking platform between the companies and the students, whereby, Cellplus was our Platinum Sponsor and they distributed FREE STARTER PACKS to all newcomers.

Without also forgetting that, the awarding ceremony for the ESSAY COMPETITION- marked by Mr Kavi Khedo- was also held on the opening, where the winners won MOBILE SETS & STARTER PACKS by Cellplus.

To enhance the atmosphere of the job fair, the MBC was there, with its breath taking stand. It also contained a mini radio studio, whereby, the job fair was being discussed LIVE.

Well many of the attendees at the job fair were “window shoppers” who were just browsing to see what is available. But the fact is that many students have been recruited or have been called to interviews in these companies.

In other words the ISS has been instrumental in helping out the students to open themselves to the job market and building up contacts with the companies

ISS ORIENTATION & FUN DAY

September 1, 2007

Cellplus starter packs to all newcommers

On Friday the 24th August, as from early morning a huge crowd was gathered on the campus of the University of Mauritius near the cafeteria. What was the reason??? It was Fun day!!! The Information Systems Society had once more organised an extra ordinary activity, a very 1st event on the campus.

In fact, with the collaboration of our Sponsors- Cellplus, kaira (Mauritius) Pvt. Ltd, Compuspeed Ltd and Harel Mallac bureautique -ISS organised a fun day so as to welcome all the fresheners. For the occasion free starter pack were given to all new comers and ISS members and it’s not just a starter pack but it’s actually a brand new number that was being launched that day!!!

Together with the La Fronde executive members, the ISS executive members worked in cooperation to make the fun day a day not to forget so soon. There were everything present, a great DJ playing great music and animating the event, several games e.g. the latest LAN games, musical chair, tug of war and many more.

The response was just amazing. Many students took part in the games and assisted the competitions and won lots of interesting gifts. There was a lucky draw and the lucky winners got to win loads of gifts.

In the end our efforts didn’t go to waste as the day was a great success and we all had a blast. Hope ISS brings another such occasion again.
