Career workshops in Dubai to help EMBAs get ahead

A series of workshops took place at Cass Business School in Dubai for the EMBA students to learn skills for their future careers. The workshops ran throughout February and the topics ranged from job search strategies to networking and negotiating skills. 

The February workshops consisted of:

Job search strategies
This careers planning session was designed to equip students with the tools and techniques to manage their careers for the long-term as well as to increase their success within their current company.

Networking skills

Research shows that networking is the number one route for MBAs to secure a new job. Students learned how to effectively extend and manage their network to help develop their career.

Personal advice sessions

Tailored sessions to cover topics such as CV and cover letter review, job search advice, interview advice or do a mock interview.

Middle East recruitment overview

A representative from a leading Dubai based recruitment firm spoke on topics such as 'the Middle Eastern Recruitment Market' and 'How to work with Recruitment Firms'.

Successful negotiation

Successful negotiation workshops were run as one day sessions.
