The What Next Career Expo which was organized by racoufmf laid the foundation for me to find the very first job of my corporate life. The walk in interviews I had with the top corporate companies were a new experience and really helped me to get an idea of how an actual interview happens in the real world. It gave me an opportunity to speak out to different corporate figures and identify what I actually want to do and from where to start my corporate career.
