How to Work Career EXPO
Change is in the air and on the trees as the leaves turn color and apples abound. The career search process is also changing (particularly for Finance, Consulting and Accounting), as companies move their application deadlines earlier and earlier for both full time and internship opportunities. For students seeking full time and/or internships and organizations seeking top talent, welcome to the Fall Recruiting season.
I hope you have attended Industry Spotlights, Resume Reviews or Case Interview Prep. If you haven’t check out our expanded hours to get ready. CAREER EXPO is next Thursday, SEPTEMBER 26th. It’s time to get focused, gather information, develop an action plan and get creative!
