Thank you to over 1300 of you that came to last week's Business Horizons Spring Career Fair to interact with over 100 companies. Congratulations to those of you that obtained next-day interviews.
If you want to take the next step in the process with the companies you talked to at the fair, it's crucial that you be proactive and follow up. This may mean coming to an info session, applying online at Hokies-4-Hire, sending a thank you note or email, etc. You must follow up to validate these relationships you established last week.
If you have any questions on the next step, you may email questions to Jenn Carty (jcarty@vt.edu).

Company Days in the Pamplin Atrium
Company Days are when firms come to the Pamplin Atrium and setup booths for students to learn more about their employment opportunities. Firms will distribute food, swag and info about their company. This is a great opportunity to connect with recruiters in an informal way. Firms will typically be there from 10am-2pm each day.
Wednesday 2/3: Hilton & Pearson
