ESB Firmenforum 2014 - “Meet your Future”

Whoever happened to be on campus during the last couple of days certainly noticed that a lot of students were wearing their suits. This is because during the past week the ESB Firmenforum (or FIFO for short), one of the most important events for IB students during the winter semester, took place on campus! The FIFO is a career fair, which gives all IB ( as well as all other ESB students) the possibility to get in touch with well-known and internationally operating companies.

This years' two-day event offered a unique possibility to ESB students to get in contact with 41 of our sponsoring companies. From consulting firms and banks to manufacturing and transportation companies, all firms were given the chance to inform and showcase their internship programs and career paths.

But what is it that makes FIFO so special? Students have the chance to learn about the companies during presentations and while
talking to company representatives. Secondly, many companies are conducting interviews for internships, trainee programs and jobs directly on campus during the business fair. But let's also not forget about the famous “Start-Up evening” organized by the ESB Entrepreneurs, which typically takes place on the day before the FIFO, and focuses especially on alumni who founded their own start-up companies and are able to provide students firsthand information and insights if they are interested in becoming entrepreneurs themselves. Most importantly, the FIFO  is almost completely organized by ESB students for ESB students proving our famous ESB spirit!

FIFO's motto “Meet your Future” summarizes what the business fair is all about: informing yourself about many exciting career opportunities in different business sectors all around the globe. So to all future IB students: 
Get your suits ready and meet YOUR future next year at the ESB Firmenforum 2015!
