2011 CAREER FAIRS:

  

THIS Friday, October 7^th – MSOE Career Fair

All students and alumni - This annual event is the keystone of the fall recruiting season!  Meet company representatives, hand out résumés, and establish yourself as a prime candidate early on in the game.  All students are invited, not just graduating seniors.  Many employers are looking for juniors, sophomores, and even freshmen to fill internship positions.   1^st floor CC, 9am-2:30pm.  Click here for more info.

Thursday, October 13^th – NEW Graduate School and Professional Career Fair

This inaugural fair targets undergrads who are interested in graduate school, and current graduate students or experienced candidates who are looking for full-time employment.  Graduate Schools will be on hand to tell you about their programs and application processes. Employers who are seeking graduate level skills or seasoned professionals will be here recruiting. 3^rd floor CC, 2pm-7pm.  Click here for more info.

 

UPDATE - List of organizations now online!  http://www.msoe.edu/life_at_msoe/career_services/graduate_and_professional_college_fair/employers_graduate.shtml

 

Preparing for either Career Fair:
- Employers expect you to be professional, able to initiate conversation, and able to communicate your goals, interests, and strengths.
- Prepare a one minute commercial about yourself that includes your academic successes, activities, work experience, skills, and career goals.  This is essentially what you would say when asked “Tell me about yourself.”

During the Career Fairs:
- Dress professionally! (Treat it as an interview).  Be positive, confident and friendly.
- Show interest in the company or school by asking a question or two.
- Present a concise, error free, resume with a focused objective and qualifications. 

After the Career Fairs:
- Send a thank you letter within 48 hours to company or school representatives with whom you feel you have made a positive connection. 
- Continue to follow-up with the representatives periodically in order to maintain that positive connection.

Contact the Career Services Office with questions or for further assistance in making either fair work for you. 

See you on October 7^th and October 13^th!
