JobShop (Romanian job fair)
JobShop is a national career event for students and fresh graduates organized annually by the Board of European Students of Technology. The event has evolved from a job fair to a career event.
Since 2008 it has offered (varying from event to event) company presentations, technical workshops, company visits, soft skill training, scholarship presentations and job interviews.
History
JobShop was the first job fair organized in Romania. The first JobShop was organized in 1993 in Timişoara. Its purpose was to create a link between companies and students, facilitating student internships. It was a "doors open" day.
In 1996, the event was launched both in Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca. In 2000 the event was extended to Iași and Brașov.
Since 2008, JobShop has been known as a "national career event", with editions in the five best known university centers of Romania.
Due to complications over the years, the 2012 event took place only in Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca and Iași, but Brașov is preparing a comeback in 2013.
