The Career Fair is One Week Away!

Posted on by

It’s official!

We are one week away from the college’s largest recruiting event… THE CAREER FAIR!

This event is happening Thursday, March 7th in Worrell Gym from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. and we want YOU to be ready for the employers as much as they are ready to meet you!

Career Services wants to remind you of 3 keys to making your Career Fair experience awesome:

✔ Dress for Success – Your first impressions are everything, so dress in your very best to let employers know you are serious about your employment. Make sure your hair, nails, breath, and clothes are presentable.

✔ Résumé – Have your professional résumé ready for employers to see your academic accomplishments and relevant work experiences. Employers are looking for a well-rounded student who can both contribute in a team environment and work independently.

✔ Elevator Pitch – You have 30 to 45 seconds to prove to a recruiter that YOU ARE THE BEST FIT! How do you do this? Practice sharing your name, major, relevant experience, and what stands out about you!

Check out the trailer to see how this event will work and we will see you there next week!
