The weekend before last I went down to London to the ‘Asia
and Middle East Graduate Careers Event’ run by Target jobs and GTI.
If you weren’t able to attend here are some examples of the bits of info.
that I learned when I talked to some of the exhibitors:
Atkins, the Engineering
& Design Consultants, have offices in various parts of Asia and the Middle East
but were particularly looking for Engineering
(Civil, Mechanical, Electrical), Architecture, and Quantity Surveying students/graduates
to work in the Middle East particularly UAE, (Dubai, Abu Dhabi).
Abercrombie and Fitch,
the clothing retailer, have stores in China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc. They
also have opportunities on their Leadership/Development programme in the USA
and were able to sponsor visas for these.
ICAP, markets operator and provider of post
trade risk mitigation and information services, have opportunities in Hong
Kong, Singapore and London and are Tier 2 sponsors for their UK vacancies.
Jane Street, a quantitative trading firm, were particularly
looking to recruit for their Hong Kong office, but also have offices in other
parts of Asia, New York and London (& are Tier 2 sponsors). They are especially
interested in students who have done quantitative subjects such as Maths,
Engineering, I.T., Physics etc.
Mitsubishi UJJ
Securities (MUS, the investment bank, have divisions in London, Singapore,
Hong Kong, and New York.
Standard Chartered
Bank is recruiting for their International Graduate Programme and is particularly
interested in students wanting to return to work in Asia.
Swiss Re, the
re-insurance company, has graduate vacancies in China & Hong Kong,
Singapore, India, Japan, and Australia
PwC, one of the
global big 4 professional services and auditing firms has offices in 160
countries, but were particularly promoting their vacancies in 12 countries in
the Middle East (UAE including Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman,
Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and Libya. One of the speakers talked
about how is from Lebanon and started working for PwC there , then moved to
Saudi Arabia, is currently based in the UK (London), and will soon be moving to Singapore.
So he was an excellent illustration of what it means to have a global career.
There were other companies, professional bodies, international
recruitment agencies/consultants, and other organisations there, but there isn't room for all the info. here. Details of
these, and more about the companies/opportunities mentioned above, are on the website
which is still live –
