WORKSHOP “MASTERING IT RECRUITMENT SKILLS” EQUIPS STUDENTS WITH PRACTICAL CAREER READINESS

As the Information Technology job market continues to evolve under the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital transformation, technical expertise alone is no longer enough for students to remain competitive. Soft skills, professional communication, and a strategic approach to job applications have become increasingly important in helping candidates stand out. With the goal of supporting students on their career journey, the “Mastering IT Recruitment Skills” Workshop was successfully held on June 27, 2026, at the HCA Training Center (466 Hoang Van Thu Street, Tan Son Nhat Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), attracting a large number of participants and providing practical insights into CV writing, job application emails, and interview skills.

The workshop was jointly organized by HCA Training Center and Alta Software, featuring a presentation by Ms. Dinh Thi Tuyet Trinh, Human Resources Director of Alta Group. Drawing on years of experience in IT recruitment and talent development, the speaker shared valuable perspectives directly from the employer’s point of view, helping students better understand what recruiters truly look for when evaluating candidates.

Throughout the workshop, the content focused on practical application and reflected current recruitment demands in the IT industry. Students learned how to build a professional CV that effectively highlights their strengths, technical skills, project experience, and achievements relevant to specific job positions. In addition, the session on writing professional job application emails demonstrated how a well-crafted first impression can significantly increase the chances of attracting recruiters’ attention. The interview preparation segment also provided practical guidance on professional demeanor, answering interview questions confidently, and developing the right mindset before attending interviews—knowledge that participants can immediately apply during their job search.

Beyond knowledge sharing, the workshop dedicated time to an interactive Q&A session where students discussed real-world recruitment challenges. Questions related to career planning, preparing application documents, communicating with recruiters, and employment opportunities in the era of AI were thoroughly addressed with practical advice and industry insights.

Participant feedback after the event reflected the workshop’s positive impact. Most attendees highly appreciated the practical content, useful learning materials, clear presentation style, and the speaker’s extensive industry experience. Many students were particularly impressed by the real-life examples, the accurate analysis of common challenges faced by job seekers, and the actionable solutions provided to improve their employability. Several participants also shared that what resonated with them the most was the speaker’s dedication in listening to their concerns, answering questions thoughtfully, and offering guidance toward suitable career opportunities. According to the post-event survey, the majority of participants expressed their willingness to recommend the workshop to friends and colleagues, demonstrating a high level of satisfaction with both the content and the overall organization.

The “Mastering IT Recruitment Skills” Workshop not only helped students strengthen essential competencies before entering the workforce but also reinforced the connection between educational institutions, businesses, and learners. Through knowledge-sharing sessions led by industry professionals actively working in the technology sector, HCA Training Center and Alta Software aim to create more opportunities for students to gain practical experience, enhance their competitiveness, and prepare for the evolving demands of the IT industry in the digital era.

In the coming months, HCA Training Center and Alta Software will continue organizing workshops and specialized talk shows to update students on the latest technology trends, share valuable insights from industry experts, and support their professional development, contributing to the cultivation of a highly skilled IT workforce capable of meeting the ever-changing needs of the labor market.
