SAVE THE DATES – Fall 2021 Virtual Career Events are September 17th & 23rd
Career Development presents two exciting virtual events for networking opportunities, designed to assist our students in their personal and professional growth! We value your collaboration in providing opportunities for students to build in their career development.
Interested in Partnering? Contact Laura Bennett at lbennett@edgewood.edu. Include which event(s) you are interested in and whether you will require your students to attend or offer extra credit for attendance.
Details on the Events:
VIRTUAL MOCK INTERVIEWS - Friday, September 17th: Consider participating as a class assignment or extra credit. Alumni and employers will be ready to assist students in preparing for interviews and give constructive feedback to improve students’ interviewing and networking skills. Interviews last 30 minutes.
VIRTUAL CAREER MIXER - Thursday, September 23rd : Local organization partners from an array of industries will be available to connect with students to share their open internship and job opportunities! This impactful event is open to all majors and school years. Even if students aren’t looking for an internship or job, it is a great way to establish networking connections for the future!
How it helps students: In response to the question – “What was most helpful to you during the Career Events” students have said:
- “That we went as a class. It’s hard to fit these things in with a busy schedule and I appreciate my professor taking us.”
- “Hearing different stories from alumni now established in their field speak directly and honestly about how they found their path and what challenges they overcame.”
- “It helped me connect more and expand my network. It helped me feel more confident in my choice of major.”
- “The networking and mock interviews events were very meaningful to me. I have met people and I get to practice my interview skills.”
Thank you! We look forwarding to partnering!
