Participant comments

Researcher

• Each company was interested in different aspects of my research presentation, which gave me the opportunity to learn about the unique characteristics of each company.
• I was able to reaffirm my own abilities and the abilities that companies are looking for. I realized that I could potentially use my abilities to succeed in a different field.
• I found that there were surprisingly many companies that were not too concerned about the content of research at university, and were instead looking to hire a wide range of talent.
• I had the impression that pharmaceutical companies had to match your major, but I learned that there are companies that don't. I was very grateful for the advice I received about my research. I felt that if I didn't stick to my current field, I would have a much broader range when it came to finding a job.
• The meeting was much more fruitful than I expected, so I hope it continues in the future.

Enterprise

• I thought it would be difficult to have detailed communication because the event was held entirely online, but thanks to the use of functions such as Spatial chat, there were almost no inconveniences in communication. Rather, we were able to spend a fulfilling time even from a distance, which was a valuable experience. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who organized the event.
• It was very interesting to hear about the research efforts of students with different specialties through matching. I hope to continue participating in the future.
• I am very grateful for this opportunity to meet good students. The students are not only specialized, but also have a relaxed atmosphere and many of them have a broad range of personalities.
• This was my first time participating, and I was surprised at how unique the opportunity was. It was very stimulating to hear about research in a field that I don't usually have much contact with.
• This was my first time participating. It wasn't a big event, so I felt like the students and the companies were close. On the other hand, the students seemed very nervous, so I think it would have been better if they had asked more in-depth questions because there were only a few of us.
