The University of Manchester Worldwide (UMW) East Asia Centre supported the Division of Development and Alumni Relations of The University of Manchester to organise a “Start Your Career” networking event at the Regal Hong Kong Hotel on 5 September 2017 (Tuesday).  We gathered an impressive array of speakers, alumni mentors and recruiters from various sectors and professional organisations, who shared practical networking techniques, labour market trends and career opportunities. All participants found it informative in further developing their career pathway and would highly recommend this event to others. Thanks go to Markus Karlsson-Jones, Nia Watkin Jones and the volunteers in helping the event run smoothly.
