A career fair, open to all students, is being held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in Perry Campus Center.
Many graduate programs and 31 employers have signed up to send representatives to talk to students about prospective future plans.
Graduate programs from schools like Doane, Creighton, and the Biomedical Research Training and Physical Therapy Education programs from University of Nebraska Medical Center are bring recruiters to talk about the admissions process and how to apply.
Employers ranging from Wells Fargo Financial to KOLN-KGIN Television to Centerpointe will have information on employment opportunities as well as internship availability.
Graduate programs will be upstairs by the Kleinkoff and East/West dining rooms, and employers will be mostly in the Great Hall.
Darlene Williams, director of Career Development, recommends that students come before 1 p.m. because some booths will start shutting down at that time.
“This is a great opportunity, whether you are a freshman or a senior,” Williams said. “Take advantage while you are here.”
Williams stressed how important it is to make personal connections in the business world, not only now, but for the future. Williams offered several hints to help students make the most of the career fair:
- Dress nicely when talking with employers to give a good impression.
- Bring copies of your resume to give out.
- Ask for business cards from people you talk to.
Each recruiter will have a door prize students can sign up to win. Williams noted that it is important for students and even faculty to attend because if there is a low turnout the recruiters will most likely not come again.
