Career
Fair brings local and national corporations to campus Students are strongly encouraged to attend the TCU Career Fair to get an edge on the tight job market, said Bill Stowe, associate director of Career Services. Forty local and national corporations will be recruiting at TCU’s Career Night, which is sponsored by TCU Career Services, Delta Sigma Pi, Public Relations Student Society of America and TCU Athletic Academic Services. Recruiters will be seeking all majors for various jobs and internships, Stowe said. This is a way students can personally hand in their résumé instead of losing it in cyberspace, he said. The number of companies that will be at TCU’s Career Fair exceeds the number of companies present at other job fairs in the area this year, said Britten Gray, a junior marketing major and president of Delta Sigma Pi, the business fraternity. Gray said connections
are essential for students preparing to enter the workforce. Bethany Logan, a senior advertising/public relations major and vice president of PRSSA said she attended the fair last year without a particular goal in mind and learned about public relations positions. “I met someone at AmeriCredit Corp. who called me and gave me a summer internship a few months later,” Logan said. “Seniors will bring their résumés, do a screening interview and hope for a further interview,” Stowe said. “Juniors can look for internships while freshmen and sophomores can get an idea of what careers are out there.” Logan said students who attend should wear business suits. If a student doesn’t have a business suit Logan recommends dress pants or a skirt and nice button-down shirt. “Bring
a résumé and a personality ready to network and make
connections,” Logan said. Alisha
