Graduan Aspire 2015: Corporate Luncheon with CEOs & Booth Visiting


"Kick start my weekend with an exclusive corporate luncheon with CEOs from top notch companies (Y)" was definitely the coolest moment ever in my life Instagram. As I've mentioned in my previous post, Graduan Aspire 2015 Career & Postgraduate Fair is back in KL Convention Center with a much bigger scale this year and going a step further, they are bringing in the most sought-after corporate luncheon from UK to Malaysia for the first time at Graduan Aspire! A highly anticipated activity in Graduan career fairs in the UK, Aspire+ Corporate Luncheon is an exclusive, invitation-only networking session between Malaysia's leading corporate leaders and high calibre talents, conducted within a casual dining setting.


Out of the thousands of resumes received prior to Graduan Aspire 2015, only about 200 graduates and working professionals were invited to be part of this rare opportunity to meet and engage with top-performing corporate CEOs and senior management and I'm just so lucky to be one of them!


Before the luncheon starts, there was a CEO Forum and Q&A session where the fresh graduates and working professionals get to glean in-dept industry knowledge and impress potential employers with their skills and abilities; it also allows corporate employers to attract some of the best talents Malaysia has to offer to their organisations. It was an honor for me to attend this corporate luncheon and rub shoulders with all the CEOs and listen to their stories and career guidance. Highly recommended to all fresh graduates and working professionals because it will definitely enrich your life experience!


Followed by the corporate luncheon, we went down to the exhibition halls for talent networking fair. This year, there are over 120 top corporations and institutions like Maybank, Shell, PwC, Nestle and a large number of leading universities and colleges like Universiti Malaya, Taylor's University, Lim Kok Wing, and Sunway University participating in Graduan Aspire 2015.

"Since its launch in 2011, Graduan Aspire has served as a strategic platform that connects both ends of the employment spectrum. Our growing list of exhibitors and innovative activities have not only helped match thousands of quality talents with leading employers; it has also provided jobseekers and post-graduates with timely and essential information to help them make informed decisions with regards to their future careers," said Puan Elia Talib, Managing Director of Graduan.









It is my first time visiting a career fair and it's kinda different from what I thought. Besides booth visiting, there are many other activities like conferences/forum, exciting games or even audition on the spot! I would say it's a must to visit Graduan Aspire career fair especially for fresh graduates, take this opportunity to attend to your desired employer and clear all your doubts. Remember to bring along a copy of your resume as well because you might just simply bump into a corporate CEO anytime! Who knows :P

  2. This is a great event that not only brings opportunity but also build connections. The 200 people invited were very lucky! Though we have job/career fairs in the Philippines (mostly between the months April and May), this fair you posted looks very organized and professional. It looks like there's really opportunities for each one. Hope we could have something like that here in our country.

  5. This is an event that some people really wanted to attend; brushing side by side with employers. Although it's great, but it need guts to intermingle with corporate people.

  6. Somehow, I have never attended a business fair or a corporate luncheon like this. I managed to get a job straight after university, but I regret not going and giving myself more opportunity!
