Turner College's February 17th Career Fair Quickly Approaching

The Turner College's February 17th Career Fair (11:00 am to 2:00 pm in the CSU Student Recreation Center) is quickly approaching and it's important for business and computer science students to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with employers, explore internships and full-time roles, and build professional relationships by showing up prepared. For each student this means getting your résumé reviewed, practicing interview and networking skills, learning how to introduce yourself to employers, building confidence for career fair conversations, exploring the Career Closet for Professional Attire to make a great first impression, updating your Handshake and LinkedIn photos by using the Center for Career Coaching's free/on-demand photobooth, and registering for the Career Fair on Handshake in advance in order to view attending employers and plan your strategy.
According to Turner College Career Success Coach Kate Vogel, "The Center for Career Coaching is ready to partner with our students and prepare them for a successful event. I also wanted to encourage faculty to navigate to our site here to book presentations from the Center to your classes.  I am especially interested in visiting the capstone/senior and junior classes as these students are on the precipice of obtaining a career in a challenging job market ahead." Lastly, the Center will also be offering coaching appointments strictly for senior students from January 5 through January 23 on Mondays from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon and Tuesdays/Wednesdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
