Feedback on the Conference - Discussion organised by France Alumni Cameroon and Apave Cameroon

On Friday 23 March 2018, the France Alumni Cameroon network and its partner Apave Cameroun held a discussion at the French Institute in Douala on the subject: "How to boost your e-reputation and resume to improve your chances to land a job?"

Various sub-subjects were talked about:

• How to make your resume more attractive
• E-reputation and its expressions: overview
• Can the e-reputation of an employee have an adverse effect on his/her career?
• What impact of e-reputation on recruitments or redundancies: practical cases

The meeting, designed for Alumni and expanded to the general audience, sought to raise the awareness of participants regarding what it implies to use social networks in a recruitment process or career evolution in our digital and hyper-connectivity era.

 In addition to the group exclusively made of professionals from the HR segment, about 30 executives and HR executives were present at the meeting to feed the discussion and contribute to the sharing of knowledge and experience.

Exchanges were moderated by Alain-Richard Chedjou Takam, from Alumni Sciences Po and human resources director at SIC Cacaos. The group of speakers was made of Claude Bertrand Onguene, HR director at UBA Cameroun, Gilbert Odzo, HR director at CHOCOCAM, Mary Laure Oneya, Senior HR consultant at Apave Cameroun, Patrick Ambassa, HR consultant at Apave Cameroun.

Beyond the primary objective mentioned above, the meeting allowed Alumni to exchange with professionals of the HR sector in the afterwork party that followed, with a toast for friendship.
