Advice from Past Employers:

Martin Sprocket & Gear perspective:

• Graduating soon? Stand out by attending the job fair solo to showcase your independence
• Exploring with friends is great for underclassmen “just to see what is out there”
• Use the opportunity to focus on companies and career that align with YOUR goals
• Employers aim to align with your vision. Focus on: your strengths, classes you enjoyed most and why, how you spend free time, and what is most important to you

Ruts Construction perspective:

“Come prepared with thoughtful questions that show genuine interest in the company and its mission—it’s the best way to stand out and leave a lasting impression.”

Limestone, Inc. perspective:

“If you want to set yourself apart from the competition, do your research, have something to talk about, and try scheduling a meeting before or after the fair. Finding out facts like who will be attending the fair, what does the employer’s culture seem like, and initiating prior contact can help get you undivided attention.”
