FSV UK Career Day for international students and alumni

FSV UK Career Day for international students and alumni

Are you our international student or recent graduate? Join us for FSV UK Career Day on 10 April 2024 in Jinonice Campus! You can look forward to a CV workshop, a Czech labour law lecture, 2 companies recruiting, career counseling or a photographer who can take a professional photo for your CV. Some parts of the program require registration.

Program:

Companies Recruiting

• 12:30 - 16:30
• Foyer of Building C
• Pinkerton
• AB inBEV

Impress with your CV

• 12:30 - 13:20 
• Room No C221 
• Lecturer: Mgr. Eliška Krohová, Institute of Economic Studies
• Registration form

The aim of this lecture is to familiarize students with the basic principles of preparing a high-quality curriculum vitae. However, the CV is not the only document you send together with your application. Oftentimes, you are also required to send a cover letter or a letter of recommendation. The lecture will also include strategies of relating your CV to these other documents.

Czech labour law lecture

• 13:30 - 14:20 
• Room No C221
• Lecturer: Mgr. Hana Křenková, Advokátní kancelář Křenková, s.r.o.
• Registration form

The lecture will focus generally on the issue of work permits in Czechia, the difference between employment and business, and what types of contracts can be concluded in Czechia. We will also go through the general obligations of foreigners in Czechia and what opportunities Czech law offers for graduates. The lecture will be conducted by attorney Mgr. Hana Křenková, who focuses on legal assistance to foreigners in Czechia and on simplifying communication with Czech authorities.

Photobooth - portrait photos for CV/LinkedIn

• 13:30 - 15:30
• Foyer of Building C

Are you wondering if a CV is better with or without a photo? Do you need a suitable LinkedIn photo? A photo on a CV can feel more personal, but vacation photos are definitely not suitable. The appropriate photo format is the one you have in your ID card or passport: it captures your face against a one-colour background.

It is not easy to take such a photo yourself. We will have a photographer on our career day so you can get a professional photo for your CV!

Space for your Q&A

• 14:00 - 15:00
• Room No C131
• Sylvie Fišerová, Career Advisor, FSV UK, Marcela Vrbatová and Preeti Samuel Rajendran from the International Office

Do you have a career-related question? Do you want to know where to look for a job or part-time job in Czechia, do you want to consult your CV, or simply don't know where to start?

You can stop by with quick questions right during the Career Day. You will be advised by Sylvie, our Career Advisor, and Marcela and Preeti from the International Office.

Panel discussion: Experience with working in Czechia

• 15:00 - 16:20
