“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.”
Nida Khan, Case Competition Winner, Team Analytics Wizards, Canada
“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.”
Boyan A, Industry Professional, Canada
“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.”
Shiwei Wang, Case Competition Winner, Team Analytics Wizards, Canada
“You did a wonderful job putting this together. Congratulations all around to you and the Generation1.ca team. I had a great time and our experience was overall positive. Good feedback and I met some wonderful candidates.”
Rudly R., Industry Employer, USA
“The Generation1.ca Virtual Insights Career Fair we participated in as an employer was handled very professionally and well-organized. The platform was a great choice as well, given its intuitive layout and functionality. Every candidate that “stopped by” our virtual booth was highly qualified and had an informed interest in the Insights industry. We followed up with a few of the candidates given our current needs. Some candidates were interested in full time positions while others were interested in project or ‘gig’ work.”
Pat J., Industry Employer, USA
“Generation1.ca’s Virtual Insights Career Fair is a ‘must stop’ to gain fresh insights and recalibrate your journey as an immigrant. There’s a great opening in front of us and to grace it, you’ve got to summon the power of You — past, present and future — and the power of good company at Generation1.ca. ”
Grace F., Industry Employer, Canada and USA
“If you are a job seeker or someone looking to learn, network and establish meaningful connections in the Data and Insights community, please do join these career fairs led by Arundati. I can’t recommend this career-enhancing event or experience enough!”
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.
