Alumni Networking at the Career Fair
The amount of alumni who were at the Career Fair was very uplifting! Many were only a year or two out of college, and back to recruit their future coworkers. Using your network of graduated students that you may know is the best way to network. This is especially helpful if they are in your […]
Job Fair is Next Week!

A lot of my friends are away right now on IQP. Through keeping in touch with them I have heard that they don’t know what to do with their job search! A great thing about your Job Finder account is that it not only lets you search for current openings in your field but also […]
