As part of the Business Communication and Management module, students of the Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Security and Software and Systems Engineering programmes attended a guest lecture by Mirjam Kmetič, talent acquisition specialist, and Ms Katarina Brezovnik, IT talent acquisition specialist at the employment agency ManPower.
The guest lecture was opened by Mirjam Kmetič with a brief presentation of the company ManPower. ManpowerGroup Slovenia is a subsidiary of the global corporation ManpowerGroup, which has nearly 3,800 offices in more than 80 countries and is a leading company in the field of employment and work placement, employing more than 4.4 million job seekers each year. It offers innovative and comprehensive human resources solutions. To provide their clients with the highest quality services, they combine the best global practices with local knowledge and skills, divided into four areas: Search & Selection, International Mobility, Research, and Science Development.
Katarina Brezovnik then presented the labour market, challenges in job searching, selection procedures in job searching and recruitment, challenges in IT job searching, and how to approach job searching correctly and effectively. They presented the ManPower employment portal in more detail and gave students some useful tips on how to be more successful at an interview even before the interview itself: interview preparation – refreshing technical knowledge, detailed review of the job description, preparing examples and questions, practising communication skills, body language, and appropriate presence on social networks.
