CEMS CAREER FORUM NEWSLETTER
FOREWORD
Dear CEMS students and alumni,
The aim of this newsletter is two-fold. On a practical level, it contains vital information on the participating companies, programme and key dates for the 2013 CEMS Career Forum. On a professional level, it offers invaluable advice and tips from recruiters as to how to prepare the entire application and interview process, from CV and cover letter writing, through to interview preparation and performance. Denisa Zichackova CEMS Corporate Relations Manager
Produced with the kind participation of 14 Corporate Partners from a variety of sectors, we hope that the 2013 edition of the Career Forum Newsletter will not only help you identify the right company for you but also successfully convince that company that you are the right person for them. We believe that the testimonials offered by our kind contributors will help you finetune your applications and understand the needs and expectations of your potential future employers. We would like to offer thanks to our generous contributors and the best of luck to all CEMS students and young alumni who are currently preparing their applications for Career Forum pre-scheduled interviews. Best regards,
