Spring career fair provides opportunities for students
Students gathered in business attire with resumes in hand, Tuesday, Feb. 21, for the Spring 2006 Career Fair. The event, sponsored by the university's Office of Career Services, was held on the second floor of the MSC. Many companies such as Duke Energy, Zachry Construction, Countrywide Financial, Walgreens, Krogers, and Wal-Mart participated in the fair.
Terrance Goods, a recruiter for Countrywide Financial said, "There are three things that a student must remember to do to get a good career: Utilizing the career services on campus, finding an internship that specializes in the field you are interested in, and to always remember to try to commercialize yourself when at a career fair."
It is never too late or too early to attend a career fair and it benefits every classification.
Carmycia McDaniel, a freshman electrical engineering technology major said, " I came so I will know what to do over the next couple of years to prepare for my career field."
Chris Wesley, a junior mechanical engineering major said, "I benefited from the career fair because, I was able to receive new opportunities in my field."
The next career fair on campus will be held in September 2006.
Goods said, "Students tend to take for granted that HBCUs are breeding grounds for talent that America is looking for." This talent can be recognized and developed at a career fair, he said.
