1. Why Attend Career Day?
a. If you are not graduating until 2009, to explore f/t options that will be available to you in 2009 or before and/or to explore options for p/t work and/or summer and fall internships.
b. If you are graduating in 2008, to explore f/t or p/t options post-graduation and to start the networking/recruiting process.
c. Employers determine the schools at which they will continue to recruit based on student response. If you want employers to continue to recruit at Mailman, you must demonstrate your interest by doing your employer research and attending Career Day.

Please RSVP for Career Day by visiting Career Education Workshops and On-Campus Events. We need to know how many of you are attending to insure that employers bring adequate copies of their materials to distribute to you.

2. Career Day Strategy
Come early so you will have adequate time to see all their employers that interest you. If attendance lags later in the afternoon, employers may leave early.

3. Career Day Employers
Please click here to see a list of the employer's who will be attending this year's Career Day. Job descriptions from those employers who provide them in advance of Career Day (and many will not send them in advance, but will have them available to you on Career Day) are also available here.
Note: if your employers of choice are not recruiting for a position in which you are interested, that should not deter you from interacting with them about your interests, etc.
