The Nextstep career fair is a unique opportunity for students and potential employers to meet and get to know each other. We know that networks are key to finding good jobs, so I really encourage students to seize this opportunity. I am impressed by the professional organization by the Nextstep team, and by the engagement of local as well as non-local companies. The fact that employers put time and efforts into attending and actively par- ticipating in Nextstep tells me that they also find it useful. Experiences from previous years show that the matchmaking between students and companies works well and that students make their first contact with future employers at Nextstep’s career fair. One of the school’s most important measure of success is the career trajectories of our students. It is therefore very valuable with such an event that can support the students getting a good start in their efforts of building their professional network. Nextstep is also a good example of entirely stu- dent-led projects fulfilling real purposes, which we put a lot of effort into promoting at the school. My best advice for students attending the fair would be to go there with an open mind, to be yourself and believe in your abilities. Although you may feel nervous talking with your dream employ- er, you should not forget that he or she has come to this fair just to find someone like you.
