P&G TRAINING SESSION ON CAREER MANAGEMENT

U Placement Department has arranged a

training session in collaboration with P&G on Career Management which includedProfession
Preference, Resume BuiIding, Interview Tips and Career Start.
Training session was conducted on 3rd May 2011 by Mr. Umer Alghamdi HR Manager P&G
Saudi Arabia/ Talent Practice leader (Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Pakistan).
Mr. Umer Alghamdi is an excellent presenter, he kept every single student engrossed and
interested. The session was interactive and the students were given opportunity to clear all their
misconceptions about their resume and career issues. The questions asked by students and the
answers Mr. Umer gave were very informative for everyone. There are small things we have all
been doing wrong, which might be insignificant to us but according to Mr. Alghamdi, these are
the things which decide the difference between the resume to be sent to trash or an interview
call.
The Tips Mr. Algahamdi Passed on were:
1. Resume should have a cover page in which we persuade the interviewer to go through the
resume and it should not be more than a single page.
2. Never lie in the resume because they'll know immediately.
3. Make sure your posture is right when seated before the interviewer.
4. Arrive half an hour early so that by the time interview starts you are in the interview room
5. Make your nerves calm
6. Do your homework so that you know as much as you can about the company etc and many and
tips were shared with the students as well.
Mr. Alghamdi took the students through each phase of an interview from looking for the right
jobs to the right things to do in an interview. Throughout his presentations students kept pelting
him with questions which he encouraged highly as it will add to the knowledge of every one
present there. t was a fantastic session and everyone was satisfied and seemed more aware
and knowledgeable about the things they had been doing wrong till now and that is exactly what
the U Placement Department had set out to achieve for U students.
n the end of the session U Management presented him shield, and P&G team distributed
giveaways to every student present in the training.
Thus another successful event concluded with twinkles of hopes in the eyes of students and
thank you smile on their faces for U & its team.
