      Aalto Talent Expo questionnaire
      Not available unless: The activity Start here: Choose your major! is marked complete
      1. Study the Aalto Talent Expo 2021 programme.
      2. Based on the offered programme, name two objectives you want to achieve through participating the event. The objectives must be something concrete you achieve, e.g. finding out job opportunities in a company you did not know before, asking advice for your career planning from an expert, updating your CV. Naming as an objective simply attendance to a single event (e.g. a workshop or webinar) is not acceptable!
      3. Keeping in mind the objectives you set, choose the events you will attend from the Aalto Talent Expo 2021 programme and register to these events (if required).
      4. Attend the Expo on November 11th, 2021 in Otahalli (virtual events take place in Jobteaser on November 9th-10th).
      5. Answer the questionnaire – be prepared to reflect on how well you could realise the objectives you set for yourself!
