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.”
