Recruiter's Night @ AIM

During the last week, I had an opportunity to visit the Recruiter's Night organised by the Career Management Services (CMS) at AIM. The event was primarily intended to be a common platform for the confluence of the Graduating Batch students and their potential employers.

The event took place on the 3rd of September at the AIM Conference Centre in Makati City. The ambience of the occasion was eye catching especially due the formal attire of the students (A rare sight at AIM!!)

The function kicked off with a formal overview of the graduating MBA and MM class of 2008 by the representatives of each of the courses. The overview comprised of a general picture of the functional background of the students along with the diversity among each of them. It is worth mentioning that there is an amazing diversity associated with each batch at AIM. This was followed by an encouraging talk by the Associate Dean of the W.SyCip Graduate School of Business, Prof. Ricky Lim to motivate the potential employers to look for the right match. It was great to have learnt the significance of a relationship between an employer and the employee.

The presence of many of reputed companies present like QTEL from Qatar, First Gulf Bank from Abu Dhabi, Ayala Group-Philippines, IBM- Philippines, Pfizer- Philippines, JP Morgan- Philippines, L&T, RCBC Bank, Telus- Philippines ensured that the purpose of the interaction between the companies and the students had been justifiably served. This was followed by dinner and rounds of cocktails, which hopefully proved out to be the opportune moment for the students to network. (And drink off course!)

My sole intention is to give a credible account of event to a larger set of audience and hope to spread the word. I was lucky to have a group of my batch mates along with me on the day to cover the event and also, thank Regnard for providing us with the opportunity of being an amateur (read novice) journalist :-)

I am attaching some pictures taken on that day and also take this opportunity to wish my seniors a very best in all their future endeavours.
