Through company promotional posters, distribution of promotional materials, face-to-face communication, and other means, in-depth and comprehensive communication was conducted on the requirements, salary and benefits, personal development prospects, and other aspects of recruitment positions that students are interested in.
The employment positions provided by the participating enterprises are highly compatible with the hotel management major, and they are highly welcomed by graduates. Some students have reached preliminary employment intentions with employers, while others have been hired by the recruiting unit on the spot and signed employment agreements on site. According to statistics, the recruitment unit received nearly 200 resumes submitted by students at this job fair. Some lower grade students also participated in the Double Choice Conference for observation and learning, experiencing the employment atmosphere in advance, planning their career as early as possible, and preparing for future employment. This double selection meeting is very meaningful. Through face-to-face communication with companies, I have gained a better understanding of the current talent demand in the market and the specific information of hotel companies. I have submitted resumes to three companies and communication has been smooth. I hope to receive the desired offer, "said Li, a 2023 hotel management graduate with joy.
