Noah A. Weathersby, a senior chemical engineering major from St. Louis, Missouri, said he encourages students to attend the Career Expo each semester of their college experience. Weathersby is completing his second internship and has already landed a full-time position to begin after graduation with Continental Tire, a Career Expo participant for several years.聽He started at Continental Tire鈥檚 plant in Mount Vernon, Illinois, and is currently at its Clinton plant.
鈥淚 highly recommend going to the Career Expo because you can talk to people and learn about what they do on a daily basis,鈥 he said. 鈥淵our college major may not be exactly what you decide to do for a full-time job, so it鈥檚 important to start researching and pursuing internships to help you get your name out there and figure out what job opportunities might be the perfect fit for you.鈥
The Career Center will provide attendees with a name tag listing their major, classification and expected graduation date upon check-in. Students are encouraged to review the Connections site prior to the event to ensure their personal information is correct.聽
The 无码专区 Career Center also offers students mock interviews, r茅sum茅 reviews and other resources for a solid beginning after graduation. The same services are available to alumni.
