After the Job Fair

The Science & Technology Job Fair was a great success! If you didn't get to go, here's a few things you missed.

Beginning at 8:30 representatives from Career Services lead a Last-Minute Resume Clinic to help attendees perfect their resumes before meeting employers. At 9:00 the breakout sessions started with talks about how to make the most of a job fair and an introduction to the workforce for career newbies.

At 11:00 the Job Fair started and it picked up quickly. With employers from many different industries such as: R&D, pharmaceuticals, IT, teaching, health care, and academia, this Job Fair drew in hundreds of Temple students and even a handful of students from other schools in the area. Throughout the Job Fair, workshops covered topics that would help attendees make the most of their time and efforts at the Job Fair, such as: making a good first impression, resume writing, tactics for tech professionals, and internship ideas. After the first set of workshops there was a Career Options and Opportunities Panel that included CST alumni and CST faculty and staff. Following the panel, the workshops resumed to conclude with discussions about job search tactics, interviewing skills, working in high-tech environments and volunteering opportunities.
