Professor Iulian Badescu, dean of the Transportation Faculty Bucharest outlined the importance of such an event: “The 2 days of the event gave the students a chance to prove that they are capable of getting a job at a famous company. We are glad we managed to come up with real job offers for students. We will turn this into a tradition. The second edition of JobTransport will take place next spring”.
The two days of the fair were attractive no only because of the job offers, but also because of a large number of workshops, lead by companies like DPD, Transferoviar Grup, Wim Bosman, Gefco, Tales, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel and Registrul Auto Român.

The workshops ended with Dana’s Tudor presentation, general manager at Dynamic Human Resources, with the subject “Success engineering and the vehicles used in reaching it”.
At JobTransport, Metrorex launched the project “Young Metro”, specially conceived for informing and promoting young specialists in the metro transportation domain.”The project responds to the need of promoting competence in order to increase efficiency in metro transportation. “Young Metro” will take form in a series of informing and communication activities, debates with the participation of the students from the Transportation Faculty and Metrorex specialists, themed competitions, meetings with young Metrorex employees, and at the end of the project the best students will gain a company internship” declared Evelyne Maria Croitoru, Head of Metrorex Communication Department.
Among workshops and company presentations, during the two days of the fair, the students benefited from the services of a CV expert, which counseled them for free.
During the two days the students won at different raffles numerous prizes. They were held at the end of every workshop, but also in the second day of the event, on the 9th of November when the fun reached its peak. “We wished for the students to feel comfortable at the fair and not to be too nervous when talking to the employers. That is precisely why we offered many prizes, including two weekends at the mountains” mentioned Robert Barbu, Project Coordinator.
