Sacred Heart University students from all majors will have the exclusive opportunity to meet and interview with more than 100 employers in the William H. Pitt Center from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
The Office of Career Development is hosting the Spring 2008 Internship and Career Fair, open to Sacred Heart students and alumnus.
For the past three years, the fair has been "sold out" to employers, and over 400 students are expected to attend.
But for many students, this chance to meet with potential employers will be their first venture into the business world. What if you have no idea what to expect from the Career Fair? What kinds of companies will be there? What do you need to bring with you? What should you wear? What should you say?
Heather Marchand, Assistant Director of Career Placement, had a few pieces of advice to offer on behalf of the Office of Career Development in order to make the most out of the experience.
A crucial suggestion is researching the companies that will be in attendance.
Some of the companies that will attend the career fair are Brenda Lynn, GE, Terex Corporation, Target, Cox Communications, Sikorsky Aircraft, Speech & Language Consultants, FBI, Beiersdorf Inc, News 12 Networks, and Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine.
The employers range from Fortune 500 companies to non-profit organizations and are looking for students to fill positions that apply to all majors offered at Sacred Heart. A full list of the employers can be found at Sacred Heart's eRecruiting Web site, http://shu.erecruiting.com.
"It's important to go online and look up what you're interested in," said senior Jamie Paulsen. "There are so many students there-- if you're well informed, you'll make a bigger impact on the recruiter and stand out from the crowd."
The Office of Career Development advises that students look up the companies that interest them on the eRecruiting Web site and prepare some questions in advance.
