Planning to attend the Career Fair next week? If your answer is “yes”, good for you! If your answer is “no”, I have to ask why not? Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, or grad student this event is more than worth the time you will invest. Anytime you can connect with an employer, go for it. Now. . .what you can do this week is prepare for the Career Fair. And, one of the ways to prepare is to research the employers you want to talk with.
We have made the research really easy for you. Go to our website (http://careers.wichita.edu), click on “Events” on the left side, and then click on “Employers who will be attending”. Scroll through the list, clicking on any and all of interest to you. That last click takes you to the employer’s website. Some of the things you want to find out include the company’s products or services, company growth for the past five years, future plans, the mission statement, names of managers, locations, corporate headquarters, their competition, and their history.
For even more information regarding what to do to make the Career Fair as valuable an experience as possible to you, go into your Hire A Shocker student account and access the Resource Library. It’s all there for you, from how to dress to how to prepare business cards.
See you next week--Thursday, April 7, 4 - 7pm, Koch Arena. Be there!
