This is the one time in your life when employers are going to come in large numbers looking for you. We bring them straight to campus. Eighty of them will be here to meet you this Friday, Sept. 22, when we host The Invitational: An Event for Internships, Externships & Jobs at The Venue. We call it “The Invitational” because both students and employers have to be invited to attend. Employers must have openings for interns or jobs, students must have shown they have done their homework and have prepared for the event.
If you are a student preparing for the event you might want to get advice from people who have been there. Luckily, we have done that for you too. Check out our podcast on the invitational by clicking here: https://business.ucf.edu/is-the-invitational-your-thing/
Remember what I told you at Welcome to the Majors: Many students pass up great opportunities like The Invitational because they have other priorities. “Getting to the one” requires that you get out of your comfort zone, prepare a game plan, and show up. If you do this, there is a great likelihood that you land an internship or the job that you seek. So, prepare now.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Paul Jarley, Dean
