In the past and again on September 29, 2023, I participated in a career fair organized by Generation1.ca, under the leadership of Arundati Dandapani. During the event, I had the opportunity to connect with the HR representative from the company I had always aspired to work for. As a result, I successfully secured the role of Research Analyst. Arundati’s dedication, direction and the professional development opportunities provided by Generation1.ca are truly inspiring, making this career fair and case competition a must-attend for anyone looking to kickstart and also advance in their career in data, analytics and insights.

After listening to and chatting with top industry experts at this inspiring career fair and case competition, I gained a better appreciation for the significance of creativity and simplicity in the field of data analysis. I also learned a crucial lesson about communication – it’s vital to consider the perspective of your audience, especially when sharing insights with clients. Making reports and presentations that are both easy to understand and visually appealing is essential.

Arundati’s insights career days are fun, educational and intensely industry-focused. I learned so much as a research industry professional, prospective employee and even as an employer in a previous role. If there is an industry event you must support each year, it has got to be the Generation1.ca insights fairs for the breadth of knowledge, talent and top organizations you can access. At my time at QuestionPro and other jobs Arundati was always supportive of and guided, inspired and helped me contribute to the Market Research world in a positive way.

At the Generation1.ca Career Fair, I learned that we can bring about meaningful societal impact and help society become a better place for everyone by using research findings and data. From a research perspective, we need to maintain a holistic view and be data literate to interpret what is happening in the world.

Shipra P, Industry Professional, Canada
I can say being prepared to get the most from this type of opportunity is so important. Having an elevator pitch, updated resume, knowing about the companies and their roles to be prepared and ask wise questions from recruiters are so useful to utilize the time and opportunity. For me, building a network with seniors and current employees at the Generation1.ca career fair is invaluable and boosts my confidence to go on through my job seeking journey.
