Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA), through its Office of Career Development and Industry Network (OCeAN), in collaboration with the Skills Development, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Unit (UPKKI), the Student Representative Council, and the UNISSA Student Association for the 2024/2025 session, organised a CV and Professional Interview Workshop at the Brunei Job Centre in Kampong Beribi.
A total of 46 participants, comprising students and alumni of UNISSA, took part in the workshop aimed at equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the competitive job market.
The workshop provided practical guidance on effective CV writing, interview techniques, and professional workplace etiquette. Its key objectives included helping participants understand the essential components of a well-structured CV, boosting self-confidence during verbal communication, and raising awareness of the importance of professionalism and work ethics.
Participants were also given the opportunity to take part in mock interview sessions and receive immediate feedback from facilitators in a hands-on, interactive environment.
Guest facilitators from the Brunei Job Centre, Mohd Khairul Hasbullah bin Haji Anuar and Awang Haji Abd Azim bin Haji Salleh, led the sessions, offering valuable insights, sharing personal experiences, and engaging directly with attendees.
UNISSA remains committed to organising similar skills development programmes to empower its students and alumni, with the broader aim of enhancing graduate employability. Through such initiatives, participants are expected to enter the workforce with greater confidence, professionalism, and competitiveness. – Fadley Faisal
