For three days in a row, companies have been visiting Embry Riddle for recruiting students. All students have had the opportunity to show their skills and apply for an intern ship. The yearly Career Expo is not solely a chance for students to get a heads in to companies, or for companies to get the best students, it is also about developing the students skills of job searching. I have worked and improve my resume every day this last week, and my adviser has been a great support with feedback and brainstorming. Many students I know have been doing the same thing. We have now forced our selves, or the expo has, to create a resume that are not only useful for the event, but also for future references. These efforts are valuable. It is our future we are trying to make as successful as possible and our resume is our first step there.
Many companies was, however, here and we all got a chance to talk to them. What else is better than personal contacts for a job? The Expo makes it possible for us to create a network of great contacts that can be used in the future. Some companies also take their time to come in to the class rooms and talk to us; how we can become successful, what we should include in our resume, and what we should and should not say in an interwiew. I personally think these kind of events are very valuable for the schoool in general and the students in particular.
