With the Career Center wrapping up the last of our Fall Career Fairs this week, we wanted to ask you, the students, about your “Why”. Why did you go to the fair? Why did you not? Why are you postponing your own success? Why are you taking advantage of some opportunities, but not others? We want to hear your voice and know your story, but it is important for you to come out and share it.
Below, Professor Vickerie of the Department of Management
& Entrepreneurship in the Zarb School of Business provides advice designed
to help you answer maybe some of your own “whys” and understand how to propel
your own success. Professor Vickerie has her BBA 100 class attend the Fall
Career Fair as part of their curriculum. She encourages her students to attend
career fairs as it is the perfect way to create an impactful moment. Many of her
freshmen and sophomore students were nervous and unsure of themselves before
they entered the massive room with over 125 organizations. Yet, over half left
with promises for an upcoming interview!
So check out her words of wisdom, and stop by the Student
Center Atrium on Wednesday, November 8th to provide the Career
Center with some feedback about how we can best serve you!
Dear Students,
HERE’S WHO
YOU!!! You AND your friends!!! You and your friends need
to talk to as many potential employers that connect with your interests. You
want to give yourself options to choose between internships rather than only
having one or none.
HERE’S WHEN
As early as possible! You should be going to a career
fair in your first year! The main point is to get as much practice as possible
with presenting yourself to a potential employer, both in person and on paper.
Even though you may not get a job at the first career fair you go to, more than
anything else, attending multiple fairs will help you hone your skills for the
big game later.
Best,
Professor Vickerie
