Prepare for Expo...Career Week Style!

Posted: 

Day 1 of the Engineering Expo is officially one week away. With that in mind, ECS has multiple events planned during Career Week that can help you find success at the fair--and beyond!

Today is the first day of Career Week, which runs until Friday, September 18th. Career Week is designed to prepare rising juniors, graduating seniors, and graduate students with professional skills that are necessary in finding success while searching for a full-time job. While some Career Week events are only for the students listed above, there are several events that all engineering students are welcome to attend.

We want to specifically recognize our Career Week 2020 sponsors: GE, Eaton, Materion, and Niagara Bottling. These sponsors will be holding several on-one-one sessions with students (pre-registration required) which include: resume reviews, mock interviews, and elevator pitch practice. What better way to expand your network and gain additional advice from professionals that work in your industry area? These companies will partner with ECS during workshops and will serve on the panel for Industry Night on Thursday, September 17th at 6:00pm. Reserve your spot and register for Industry Night through Handshake. Select “Events” and search “ECS: Career Week Industry Night”.

Visit the ECS career week page to discover a schedule of events for the entire week. Some of these events include; Work Visa Options for International Students with Immigration Attorney Mark Rhoads, Assessing Employers for Diversity and Inclusion, and Surviving & Thriving in Technical Interviews.

During Career Week, ECS will also be offering “ECS: Expo Express Check Appointments,” which are 10-minute appointments intended for answering your last minute questions as you prepare for the fair. These appointments include topics such as resume/cover letter checks, career fair prep tips, elevator pitch practice, application questions, and interview strategies. Sign up for these express appointments through Handshake. Select “Events”, keyword search “ECS: Expo Express Check Appointments”, and choose the day that works best for your schedule.

We hope to see you during Career Week and wish you the best of luck at the Engineering Expo!
