New for 2015-16: Employment Opportunity Webex's!

We've introduced an exciting and convenient new way for employers to reach Pamplin students about current hiring needs!  

 

Webex presentations will be hosted by Career Services to allow companies the opportunity to spend 5 minutes pitching their organization and particular employment opportunity to an audience of Pamplin students on the job market.  Students will follow up with employers for consideration of these opportunities.  

 

This has been proven to be a quick and effective way for employers to generate interest and potential candidates for their open positions.  If you are interested in participating now or in the future, please reach out to Jenn Carty (jcarty@vt.edu).
