CPA Australia Career Expo 2011

CPA Australia had organized a career expedition on 19 February 2011 at Hall 1, Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Mid Valley City. Committees from Sunway's charter and Taylor's charter were helped out for this event.

The day before the expedition, the charters went to prepare the goodie bags and also to decorate the hall as we were asked to. We were separated into groups and were assigned with different tasks to reduce the time spent to finish the preparation for the following day’s exposition. Although we were from different charters and most of us did not know each other very well, things worked out fine as we teamed up. We helped each other to pack the goodies bag, distribute the correct numbers of booklet and flyers to the goodies bag and much more.

On 19th February, we arrived early for the final preparation before the start of the exposition. As the event started, the committees were duly fit for duty. Some were distributing fliers, some were assigned as security guards and much more.

Overall, the exposition was exciting and meaningful. All committee members are sincerely grateful to the bottom of our hearts as we were given this opportunity to help CPA Australia to make this event a success and allowed the members to gain experience in holding such an event.

"The expo was fun! I’ve met some new friends from other charter and learnt that teamwork is important. It was a new experience and also a great opportunity to meet so many different potential future employers. I’m glad that I’ve attended this event. If there is another chance in the future, I will definitely be there again." said Zhi Ruo

Connie shared: "it was a totally new and unforgettable experience to get involved in such professional event as a student ambassador!!! Besides, it was fun in dealing with so many difference kinds of people in one day."

Varsha added: "the Career Expo 2011 was a great experience. Meeting new people, making new friends. This helped me to open up more to strangers."

"I've never experienced such particular event as I'm really looking forward for it again!" says Shermin.

Lastly, Ummay stated: “I was really honoured to promote CPA, as per my assignment, at the CPA mother booth, let alone the fact that I grabbed this opportunity to network with the other student charter. All in all, it was definitely another unforgettable and enriching experience for me”
