As the #2 Hospitality Program in the United States, we are so excited to host yet another Destinations Career Fair!
Our Destinations Career Fair spans three days with a number of opportunities to meet with students and share your company information. The Career Fair will be held February 8th, 2018 in the Owens Banquet Hall from 12:00-5:00pm. The first evening starts with panel discussions at 6:00 pm. This year the panel discussion will be divided into two one-hour long sessions and you may choose which one you would like to attend. The panel discussions are followed by a reception, which gives students and recruiters the opportunity to network together in a more intimate environment. Lastly, there is space available for recruiters to reserve in order to hold on-campus interviews later in the week. Both Panel and Interviews are optional to recruiters. Recruiters and students in years past have had significant success with our events. We would love to have you join us this year!
Panel Discussion & Reception
The panel discussion will be held on February 7, 2018 at 6:00pm, with the reception immediately following in the Wallace Hall Atrium.
The panels will be divided into two one-hour long sessions and you may choose which one you would like to attend. One panel discussion will be companies talking about what they look for in employees' resumes, cover letters, interviews, and more. The other available panel discussion will be company employees shaing their progress in their careers and discussing how to move up the job ladder once you get a job. Please keep in mind this is different from last years panel discussion.
The reception will be held in the downstairs atrium immediately following the panel discussions. This is a time to network with students and get a better understanding of their interests, experiences, and personalities. This is restricted to Hospitality (HTM) students only and we request only 1 rep per company to speak. Hors d'oeuvres will be provided. Dress is business casual.
