It's "Super Bowl" week! (No, not THAT Super Bowl. 🏈😉) This is the week the FSU Career Center hosts our two largest career fairs, a huge resume-critiquing event with representatives from a variety of industries, and two full days of post-career fair interviews with recruiters. Whether it's a first-year student coming to a fair just to see what it's like, a student looking for an internship to gain experience, or graduating student who is seeking their next destination, this week is all about connections. Students might connect with a company they've never heard of before and be completely "wowed". A recruiter who's never visited FSU might be so impressed with our students that they want to build their brand and create a talent pipeline. It's an exciting time! #DesignYourCareer #HireANole #careerfair #careerservices #recruiting

Hello fellow Coogs and engineering students! I attended the University of Houston Engineering Career Fair on Wednesday, February 7 and learned valuable information about securing potential jobs in the industry. Let me share some advice from the recruiters I spoke with: 1. Understand the specifics of the position you're applying for and vocalize which industries you're most passionate about. Large engineering companies offer a variety of services, so do your research beforehand to check if their open roles align with your interests. Companies want to put you in an environment where you'll succeed; let them know which office location you'd prefer and ask about potential mentorship programs to help you with the transition. 2. Be prepared to answer questions about your resume. If you put any previous work experience, projects, or skills on your resume be ready to explain their relevance. Keep your resume up to date and treat it as a living document that represents where you currently are in your career. 3. Treat the career fair as a networking event and focus on asking questions. Come prepared with a list of introductory questions about company culture, the recruiter's experiences/projects with the company, and professional development opportunities. If this is your first career fair, focus on understanding what recruiters are looking for when considering candidates. Make observations on what constitutes successful body language and introductions. 4. Follow up with employers after the career fair. You will inevitably end up with a pile of business cards, flyers, and company swag, so send a thank you email. Tell recruiters you appreciated talking with them and outline the steps you're taking to become a member of their company. Applying online is virtually a must at every single company, so check company websites for potential deadlines and important company language/requirements. Hope these tips help. Good luck to those seeking 2024 summer internships!

This is the time that career fairs really start to kick in for the US so it's perfect timing! #careerfair #webinar #careeradvice #studentsuccess #careercoaching #internship #firstjob #gradlanding #graduates #college

With internship applications beginning to open, it's important to highlight one of the most important places you can discover internships like mine at TD – career fairs! As a matter of fact, I discovered TD at Clemson University's career fair. Navigating career fairs is very similar to navigating the interview process. When I went to Clemson University's career fair, I researched the companies that were going to be there and their available internship positions. I prepared my elevator pitch and made sure that I was ready to answer any questions that I was asked during the career fair. I made sure to arrive in business professional dress and to have multiple printed copies of my resume so I could physically give one to each company's recruiter. Some companies will also have a QR code to scan to upload your resume in a digital format, so I made sure to have a copy available on my phone as well. For my peers at Clemson University, TD Bank will be returning on September 12, 2024 to Clemson University's career fair! Speaking as a student who learned about TD's internship opportunities at our career fair, went through the interview process, and have nearly completed the internship program, I cannot recommend attending the career fair enough.

In the meantime, be on the lookout from Clemson's Career Center for more information regarding the career fair in the coming weeks! #TDCampus #TDCampusInfluencer #TD #TDProud #CareerFair #Banking #Clemson
