UNMCIF25: Two Days of Networking, Learning, and Career Growth
The University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) Careers and Internship Fair 2025 #UNMCIF25, organised by UNM Careers Advisory Service (CAS), wrapped up successfully, bringing students and employers together for two days of networking and career-building opportunities on 25 to 26 February. Held at the Student Lounge and Activity Room, the fair provided a welcoming space for students to connect with potential employers and explore future career paths.
The fair was officially opened by UNM Provost, Prof. David FitzPatrick, alongside Registrar Patrick Joseph, Director of Student Experience Mavis Tsang, and Head of Careers Advisory Service Alicia Ch’ng. The Nottingham Dance Club (NDC) added a fun touch to the opening with a lively performance, setting a positive and engaging tone for the event.
More than 50 companies participated, giving students a chance to learn about different industries, explore job and internship opportunities, and gain insights directly from recruiters. From multinational corporations to growing startups, a wide range of employers were present, offering something for everyone.
In addition to meeting employers, students took part in activities aimed at helping them prepare for the job market:
- CV reviews: Career experts from AdoreSys, Forvis Mazars, JobStreet, and Shopee provided one-on-one feedback to help students improve their resumes.
- On-campus interviews: Companies such as Accenture, Biocon Biologics, Huawei, Intel, PEC SE Asia, Schneider Electric, and Y&L Metal conducted interviews on the spot, giving students a chance to land internships and job offers.
- Industry talks: Employers from Biocon Biologics, bp, NV5, Huawei, MayAir Group, and Sunway Group shared insights on career opportunities and industry trends.
- Professional LinkedIn photoshoot: Students took advantage of free professional headshots to enhance their online profiles.
Additionally, the CAS booth was a key support resource, providing guidance, career-related materials, and expert advice throughout the event.
The strong participation and engagement from students and employers highlighted the significance of #UNMCIF25. The event served as a stepping stone for students looking to build meaningful connections, gain industry knowledge, and take the next steps in their career journeys.
A huge thank you to all attendees, employers, students, and colleagues who contributed to making this fair a success. Here’s to new beginnings, bright futures, and limitless possibilities—until we meet again at #UNMCIF26!
