Career Day is great opportunity for job seekers

You’ve made it. You’re finally done with this university. No more studying. No more tests. No more law quizzes. No more monotone professors. Then it dawns on you.

It’s time to find a job.

If you’re like me, you usually put off doing important things like putting together a resume, filing for graduation and registering for classes until the very last minute.

So when you can finally brag about being a graduate of Cal State Long Beach, you’re stuck not knowing what employers want in an employee.

This is the capacity in which Career Day can help you.

Career Day gives you a chance to talk to potential employers from different companies. It also gives you a chance to get an idea of what is available in today’s job market after spending four or more years behind a classroom desk.

Organized and sponsored by the Career Development Center, Career Day gives you the opportunity to see what employers want in an employee.

Networking is what it’s all about. Simply stop at the tables of all of the companies you may be even remotely interested in and drop your name there.

Make sure to get the name of a supervisor or a director and once you have graduated, they just might remember you hand hire you.

OK, so maybe the process is a little more complex. But the point is, you want to make as many friends and contacts in the job market as possible.

Not only that, you want to know what kind of competition you will be up against.

Take this opportunity and invest in your future. These people could one day be your bread and butter.

The best part of attending Career Day is that it does not cost a thing and there is always free materials being given away by these companies.

Think about it. It is as easy as walking there and looking around. It can’t hurt and is probably easier than that biology test you’ve been studying for.
