Objective: securing your first job

In an increasingly competitive and selective job market, gaining a good degree is no longer enough. In addition to obtaining that precious certificate, you need to take advantage of the Career Centre’s resources in order to secure your ideal first job.
As your career expert, the Career Centre offers you in-depth knowledge of the job market and its requirements, as well as mastery of the technical aspects of recruitment. All these strengths are used to help you develop and make the most of your potential. Although you are not alone in targeting the best jobs, the Career Centre gives you the keys to compete with students from the top international institutions.
With this aim in mind, the Career Centre is there to help you construct an individualised programme designed to ensure you secure your first job. The programme begins in B3 and gradually becomes more finely targeted refined and personalised by focusing on a specific profession or sector in line with your progress in your studies.

During B3, you need to find out and decide! You need to find out about professions, sectors of activity, corporate cultures, working methods, professional behaviour, etc. You also need to make choices, about courses, about clubs, associations and societies, about internships, etc. How do you do this? Via a range of services offered by the Career Centre,  including events designed to enable you to familiarise yourself with six professions, together with advisory meetings, career development seminars and recruitment tools.   

In M1, you need to fine tune your knowledge of the diversity of companies, learn to master recruitment tools and identify your strengths and areas for improvement. How do you do this? By taking advantage of advisory meetings, preparatory workshops, development seminars, and meetings with graduates and recruiters, etc.

During your GAP YEAR, you will acquire and develop technical and managerial skills linked to a particular profession or sector of activity. You need to draw on this experience to ensure you present yourself as a legitimate and convincing candidate when applying for your first job.
How do you this? By leveraging your one- year in-company internship and specifically by compiling a report setting out the things learned and the skills acquired during your off-site year.

In M2, you tie-up your research on your first job and work on developing 10 managerial skills that are key for the type of job or profession you are aiming at.
How do you do this? By using a variety of tools, including the assessment centre, skills development workshops, preparation with recruitment tools, simulated interviews with feedback, recruitment sessions, etc.
