February 9, 2014

If you missed out on Business Horizons, you are not alone. We had three companies that could not make it due to the inclement weather in the eastern part of the state. Smithfield, Virginia Asset Management and Dollar Tree Stores would still like to see a copy of your resume. If you are interested in these companies, bring a hard copy of your resume to Pamplin 1046 from February 10-14 and we will send to the employers. We will not accept electronic copies.

If you are still looking for an internship or full-time job, there are still some opportunities on the horizon, including more job fairs that you will read about in this email.

Please prepare now by researching companies and planning your job fair strategy. Don't miss out because after spring break, there will not be as many easy opportunities to connect to firms on campus.
