Recruiting and networking events are a chance for you to learn more about companies that are recruiting and the positions they offer. They are also a chance to connect with professionals who are likely to share information with you to facilitate your entry to the job market.
Different types of networking, mentoring, and recruitment events, such as job fairs, cocktail receptions, company visits, and business breakfasts or lunches, are organized by the School, by student associations, and specifically by the Career Management Services.

Offer your business card to the other person if you would like to keep in contact with them (e.g. for an informational meeting). They will probably also give you their contact information. If not, write down their name. You can try to find them later on LinkedIn or their company’s website.
End the conversation properly. Example: “It was so nice to meet you. I’ll let you speak with the other candidates. I truly hope we will have another chance to speak.”
Get in touch with your new contacts on LinkedIn. It is up to you to make a move.
If they are interested, ask if they would meet for an informational meeting.
Career Management Services invites you to participate in the workshop entitled Preparing for on-campus recruitment (in French only).
