So also consider careers outside the industry your study focuses on, for example, IT or consulting. And get a taste of the difference between a start-up and a multinational. Meeting all these companies can help you get a feeling of which companies suit you the best. You may even find a job!

Speed dates
Speed dates are one-on-one sessions between you and a company. The sessions are a great way to show who you are and introduce yourself to future employers.
Before the event, you can provide your CV to companies you want to join in a speed date session via our registration form. The companies will review all the CVs and make a selection of the students they would like to get to know. You will receive more information about the speed date sessions a few days before the event.
Career Services
During the event, we provide several services to help you rocket start your career.
We collaborate with the Career Services of Leiden University to check your CV. In this one-on-one session with a career counsellor, you will find ways to improve your CV. So make sure you bring your resume to the event!
If you are a Leiden University student, you can also use their services all year around. Find more information here: careerzone.universiteitleiden.nl
