\"Career<\/a><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Fall Career Day included 88 different exhibitors who met with students and alumni about full time and part time positions, internships, and graduate school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our biggest ever fall career fair. We had nearly ninety exhibitors which is usually closer to the size of our spring fair, which is the bigger of the two,\u201d said Jean Dake, Director of the Career & Student Employment Center, \u201cWe\u2019re hoping that means that the economy is picking up and more employers are interested in hiring students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dhari Purani, a senior engineering management major, was busy networking with two goals in mind.<\/p>\n

\"Career<\/a>\u201cI\u2019m looking for an internship for the spring semester that will hopefully lead me to a final job. I\u2019m graduating in May, so I need to have something by then,\u201d said Purani. \u201cI have a mixed background of engineering, management, business, and marketing, so I\u2019m open to a lot of different positions. I\u2019m getting some positive vibes from a few companies. I\u2019m hoping for the best \u2013 to have enough offers to have to turn a few down!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Career<\/a>Devon Edwards, a UTC alumna who graduated in 2012 with a major in criminal justice, was searching for a job in her area of expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I\u2019ve graduated, I\u2019ve had a job, but not in my field. I was really looking for something more in my field, something more like a career than just a job. I went to the Employment Center and they referred me to this event and said it would be a good opportunity for me to look at a lot of employers at once,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n

Numerous businesses included EPB and WRCB-TV. See the full list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Career<\/a>\u201cWe had a good, diverse group of employers as well as a few graduate schools, looking for students from engineering to liberal arts,\u201d said Dake.<\/p>\n

Joshua Little, a UTC alumnus who graduated in 2012 with a degree in finance, was there as an exhibitor and had some advice for UTC students.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet out there and network \u2013 even in your class, get out there and connect with people, because I have classmates that are hiring managers now. Learn recruiters\u2019 names. Come with resumes. Present yourself in a way that you would want to hire yourself. Try to find a list of exhibitors, circle the ones you really want to engage with, and come up with some good questions for them. Show them that you really have goals and you mean business,\u201d said Little.<\/p>\n
