Testimonials

Poster Testimonial
“I presented a poster, which was great for networking with employers and especially other students (future colleagues). The poster provides a focal point for your trip to the Expo, and provides for an easy meeting place and common discussion reference. Leaving your business cards or handy contact information at the poster is a good idea. As a result of the Expo/poster, I had two successful interviews, one of which lead to an internship just two months later! The Expo is an excellent opportunity for students from universities not traditionally visited by recruiters."

                                                                                                    -Marc Buursink, Chevron

Resume and Icebreaker Testimonial
“The Ice Breaker is really helpful for getting additional interviews. When I came to the Expo, I had a few interviews lined up from my resume, but still had extra time in my schedule. I managed to fill the remaining time spots with interviews by networking at the Ice Breaker and meeting various recruiters. Also, visiting company booths is a great way to start a conversation with recruiters and to get information about an organization. My experiences at the Expo not only helped my interviewing and networking skills, but got me a full-time position.”
