Plako joins So You Think You Can Pitch

Plako joins a vast range of companies to be a part of the So you think you can pitch project, a networking event which connects companies and young professionals looking for a job opportunity.

Our country faces economic recession and a huge unemployment rate. So you think you can pitch brings hope to many young professionals who are looking for a chance to show that, even without years of experience, criativity and will-power may translate into great professionals.

The process is simples: in a first stage, the applicants must present a two minute "pitch" to a panel of recruiters. If they make it to the next stage, applicants have the chance to present themselves to (and convince) the companies directly, making they're possibilities of success even bigger.

The first So you think you can pitch experience, at Braga, gathered more than 300 applicants, some of which are already employed.

On July 17th, a new experience will take place at Porto, where the predictions are to hundreds of applicants and companies, more than the first experience.

This enterviewing system allows significant gains in terms of time and, on the other hand, allows business contacts between companies, making new business oportunities arise.
