Fair Game
Job and Internship Fair | Wednesday, March 4, 2015
With more than 50 employers in attendance (including many UC alums), today’s Job and Internship Fair was the perfect place to get some career advice. We asked a handful of company representatives to tell us their best tips for student job seekers. Check out their responses:
“Be friendly. A smile goes a long way.” —Nicole Crever ’09, Walgreens

“Present yourself well. Don’t come in sweats!” —Jennifer Montana and Faith Wohlrab, Masonic Care Community
“Keep an open mind. Don’t write off a company because you think they don’t have positions in your field. You might be surprised.” —Valerie Wasielewski, Chobani
