Career Corner
Many students realize that the opportunity exists to meet and network with employers on campus, but few understand that recruiters use timelines that differ from graduation timelines. The majority of those recruiting for corporate jobs and internships will be here this quarter; therefore, those with winter or spring graduation plans are encouraged to review the listings of fall recruitment events posted at: Career Services Events. Update your calendars now to make sure you don't miss the events that relate to your career goals! Not familiar with how to promote yourself at such events? The Promote Yourself tip sheet is a good starting point.
