Purpose Behind the Zeal Job Fair
As job-hunting practices evolve, students in their third year of university are increasingly seeking internships and exploring industries during the spring and summer months. However, many are often pressured into decisions without sufficient information or connections to companies, highlighting the need for early guidance.
The intensified hiring competition stemming from declining birth rates has prompted companies to prioritize early brand awareness and talent pool development. In this context, Zeal Communications aimed to provide a genuine and supportive environment for students to begin their job searches authentically.
With rising motivation towards job hunting among third-year students and the opportunity for companies to meet these proactive candidates early, the event successfully attracted a diverse group eager to engage.
