Career Week is just around the corner! Just think, employers are coming to campus to meet you- don't be a no show to your own party.
Are you prepared to network, and learn about all the opportunities waiting for you? Here are some pointers for attending Career Week Activities:
- Come dressed to impress—would you wear sweats to formal dance? There is nothing worse than showing up under-dressed for an event, if you have questions or concerns about what to wear, check out our Professional Attire page.
- Bring your resume—showing up to a Career Fair without a resume is like showing up to the event without a ticket to get in. Need help with your resume? Check out our Resume Information and templates
- Come with some questions in mind—take a minute to scan the employer list and google them! Recruiters are here to get to know you in a relaxed setting, take advantage. Not sure what to say? Learn about Elevator Speeches here.
Thinking to yourself, “I’m only a freshman,†or “I’m only a sophomore,†“I’m not ready for this… Career Week won’t serve my needs at all.â€
WRONG!! Employers and recruiters LOVE to see young underclassmen at Fairs and Events. It shows that you have initiative and that you’re taking a pro-active interest in your future. Attend the fairs, ask questions, take ownership! Need help preparing? Email [email protected], someone will gladly assist you!
