porates more than 170 companies,
organizations, NGOs, and govern-

eager to participate in CV creating
workshops, prepare for the first job
interview, gain more insight on career
planning, learn about the available
opportunities for internships and
employment, and be provided with
career counseling by the best HR
managers in Macedonia. The Career
Days’ goals and objectives are to
contribute to the preparation of
dynamic, industry-ready graduates,
to inspire the students to launch
career paths, and to bring together
the academia and the business
community.

posting available employment pos-
sibilities on the University’s bulletin
board, the Career Center provides
students with timely information.
Furthermore, by participating in the
UACS Career Days, companies
are able to meet with the students
and learn about their expectations,
recruit students for jobs and intern-
ships, and contribute to the growth
and development of future job seek-
ers, i.e. the labor market.
Credentials management - career
services offices sometimes maintain
student files containing letters of rec-
ommendation from faculty. They can
then forward these letters to poten-
tial employers and graduate schools
upon the student’s request.
Resume/cover letter writing assis-
tance - the Career Center provides
guidance and assistance to the stu-
dents in the process of writing their
resumes and cover letters. For that
purpose, we organize workshops
and one-on-one sessions for the
purpose of enhancing their skills.
Furthermore, the Coordinator at this
Center prepares students for their
first internship/ job interview.
