Become a Career Fair Survivor!

Because of the upcoming February 9 Career & Internship Fair, the Career Center wants to help students prepare. On Tuesday, February 1, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m., we are holding Career Fair Survivor, an event that allows teams of 3 to compete for prizes. Based on a popular television show, the event will end with pizza and beverages and the opportunity to ask the Career Center staff and Career Fair recruiters any questions you may have.

So, if you are planning on attending the Career & Internship Fair, and are not sure what to expect, sign up for Survivor so you can be prepared before you walk in with your stack of resumes. If you want to learn how to prepare, you might as well have fun doing it!

Social Media Background Checks

It's no secret anymore that employers are now searching sites like Facebook for information about potential employees. But these kinds of searches are going a bit deeper. Some companies are employing Social Media Background Checks that compiles information that you've released on the web--including Facebook and blog posts. Because these types of searches are becoming more common, it's necessary for job seekers to pay attention to what they are posting on the internet and realize whatever you do or say is in the public domain.
