Frits Wester opens record edition Career Expo
Students who attended the opening of the TU/e Career Expo in De Blauwe Zaal this morning were treated to an entertaining speech peppered with fascinating anecdotes by journalist -and catering entrepreneur- Frits Wester. He feels the end of the financial crisis is near, and his thoughts seem to go hand in hand with the record 134 companies that applied for this year's Expo in the Auditorium and Hoofdgebouw.
The Auditorium and the lower two floors of the Hoofdgebouw are packed. For the first time, stands are set up on the walkway between the two buildings as well, all blatantly trying to reel in talented students. In order to stand out amid the company logos and suited recruiters, companies came up with creative solutions: Neways is giving out free, delicious waffles with a topping of your choice in exchange for your contact details, the next stand gives out boxes of Skittles adorned with the company logo (Dialog Semiconductors), and Glomidco constructed a model race track to demonstrate their product.
