The 2013 TKU Employment Fair kicked off on the morning of March 27 at the TKU Tamsui Campus. To mark its commencement, an opening ceremony was held at the TKU Student Activity Center, which featured a traditional Chinese lion dance performance, opening remarks from several distinguished guests, and a ribbon-cutting ritual administered by leading officials from the New Taipei City government and the New Taipei City Employment Service Center.

During the opening remarks, the President of TKU, Dr. Flora Chia-I Chang, offered special thanks to the 53 companies that had come along to take part. She explained that TKU tries to instill in each student a high level of “soft power”, and equips its graduates with the skills needed to achieve success. To do so, it stresses “8 essential traits”: 1. a global perspective, 2. information literacy, 3. a vision for the future, 4. moral integrity, 5. independent thinking, 6. a cheerful attitude and healthy lifestyle, 7. a spirit of teamwork and dedication, 8. a sense of aesthetic appreciation.

This year, 53 companies came looking for talent. Armed with 3,248 job openings, the companies included major global brands, such as Rhythm and Hues Studio (responsible for the special effects in the Oscar winning movie The Life of Pi) and Taiwan Mobile, who took part in the fair for the first time.

Some companies, like the world-renowned Ding Tai Feng, even held on-the-spot interviews, right here at the Tamsui Campus.
