Praise for Career Day 2007

“This event allowed more direct interaction with potential candidates. We had a better chance not to miss candidates with resumes sent out ahead of time. In addition to people looking for jobs, we met people who were there for personal or professional development who could also be valuable potential employees.”

Chris Cosca - SI International 

Another participant told us:

“This allowed people to take it a step further than the typical job fair by getting emails beforehand from exhibitors.  It’s good you can sit down and actually talk to employers.  Very good event.”
