The MAEUR Career Days Event (formerly known as Speed Dating Event) is our biggest recruitment event of the year that dates back to 2009. The goal is to give students the opportunity to get to know companies, and also have the chance to end up with a starters position or traineeship opportunities.
The committee is responsible for selecting a theme, acquisition of companies, promoting the event, finding sponsors, organising the networking lunch and selecting a beautiful location. During the two-day program, participants will participate in a challenging and relevant workshop on the first day that prepares them for the one-on-one conversations that take place the next day. This is when they will look for a ‘match’.
All participating companies have one or more marketing and data related positions to fulfil, so participants have a good chance to indeed find their ‘match’! Earlier editions included companies such as Unilever, L’Oréal, GfK, Beiersdorf, Peijnenburg and Henkel. The event takes place in March and has been organised in unique locations in Rotterdam such as the Euromast and in Hotel New York!
In other words, are you interested in organising an event that offers a great opportunity to discover more about the job market and to locate your ideal future, sign up now!
