Networking & Job search - solidarity with Ukraine

ATTENTION: Registration is needed: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/networking-job-search-solidarity-with-ukraine-tickets-311839449187

Thousands of Ukrainian refugees have arrived to Belgium fleeing the war & leaving their homes, families & careers behind.
The purpose of this event is to bring together Ukrainians, looking for jobs & interested in restarting their careers abroad, & Antwerp Business Community members, eager to help & support them in their journey.
Antwerp Business Community is an international group of curious minds who meet on regular basis to discuss different topics about business & career. Our members include both Belgian & internationals living here, working in many different areas & industries.

What to expect from the event?

• open discussion & mastermind: we want to start a dialogue with all of the newcomers & understand more about the key barriers Ukrainians looking for jobs are facing & how we all can truly help those affected by war
• a lot of networking & job matching: we all believe in 6 handshake rule & that meeting people who know people is the best way to find what you are looking for (either it is a job, or a new rocket star employee) & hopefully make new friends
• sharing best practices about job search: we will prepare & discuss some useful tips about career in Belgium, such as job search resources, CV, LinkedIn, motivation letter, refferals, interviews, languages
  Note: this is privately organized event that has nothing to do with official governmental integration procedures, hence make sure to contact relevant authorities & volunteers for more specific questions

How to prepare for the event if you WANT TO HELP?
- if you are employed, first, check with your employer about any specific recruitment initiatives focused on Ukrainian refugees, then - check open job posts that you can give a referral to & do the same for your ex-employers or companies, where your family/friends work
- if you are a business owner, looking for Ukrainian talent, join us & bring a friend
- look into your personal network, be ready to activate it & share your expertise to help others

How to prepare for the event if you NEED HELP?
- get ready to practice your English (our event in international, we will have UA/RU/FR/NL..& more speakers, but the main language is English) - no need to be scared to speak in foreign language, we will help you
- make sure to prepare your personal pitch (what is your expertise, what would you like to do & what type of help you need in that) or business/freelance pitch (what services you provide, to whom they might be useful, bring examples if relevant)
- have your CV at hand (digital version is OK)
