Career Fair: Traits of Success!


On the 8th of March, Bilkent News conducted short interviews with a few of the companies participating in the career fair. We asked what characteristics and traits they seek in their employees.

Aslı Tunç (Deloitte/HR): It is not necessary to earn a master's but to have one is a plus. English is a must; also French and German are preferable. We prefer FEASS, IE, CS or any engineering department and MBA graduates.

Ülfet Banu Baykent (Unilever/HR): A master’s is not a must for us. We have a training program for newcomers according to his/her department. English fluency is necessary. Usually, we accept applications from all departments.

Fuat Kır (Club Med/HR):
We search for graduates with master's degrees for the management positions. English and French are required languages for us. We don't eliminate applications according to the departments applicants graduated from.

Bahar Ulusal, Aslı Sözer (Johnson&Johnson Medical/HR): A master's is not a must but English is. We also prefer European languages. Applicants are expected to be focused on customer service and results. Graduates from all departments are welcome.

Filiz Tural (Vodafone/HR): We want applicants to be university graduates and a master's is preferable. A second foreign language is also preferable but English is very important. We want applicants to be suited to the position.

Asu Kösebalaban (Aselsan/HR): A master's is not a must for us. We usually hire engineering, management and FEASS graduates. English is a must but any other language is an advantage.

Zekiye Şafak Dinçer (Schneider/HR): A master's is not a must for us but it is a plus. Excluding English, we also search for French and Spanish as a second foreign language. We hire mostly engineers.

Mısra Erciyes (P&G/HR): A master's is not a determining criterion; we usually evaluate the applicants by an interview. English is a must language for us but no other language is necessary. We don't have a department preference; all are welcome.

Neslihan Güler (IBM/HR): English is a must as a second language and others are preferable. We don't have a departmental constraint.
