Career fairs are popular with students and employers. \/ Marc Studer photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\nTo meet growing interest from employers and students alike, the University of Washington Bothell Career Services held job fairs on two days \u2014 instead of one \u2014 in October at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 Tech & Engineering Fair Oct. 17 and the All-Industries Career Fair Oct. 18 brought together about 70 employers and 800 job seekers. Because of crowds at previous fairs, this was the first time they were scheduled on two days, said Kim Wilson, interim director of Career Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 fairs are open to UW Bothell and Cascadia College students as well as alumni and community members, said Susan Vinson, employer relations manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepared by Career Services, many of the students arrived well-dressed, resumes at the ready, with a 30-second \u201celevator pitch\u201d to make a good first impression. 足彩app哪个是正规的 ARC hummed with the interactions, and lines formed at many tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genie, the Redmond-based manufacturer of industrial lift equipment, was looking to fill 40 engineering and supply chain internships, said Daisy Apigo, human resources program manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve met a lot of smart, great students, and we\u2019ve got a ton of resumes to pore through,\u201d Apigo said. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to see the candidate pool and then to move forward with offers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast Enterprises, a Denver-based software company that provides services to state governments, met with more than 70 students in one day and set 13 follow-up interviews on campus, said Alana Hudson, a recruiter who came from Memphis for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hudson was surprised by the interest as well as the number of students who had researched the company in advance, instead of just asking at the fair what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt puts their best foot forward as well as helping me figure out if we\u2019re the company for them,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cI am thoroughly impressed with UW Bothell, and I\u2019ve never been here before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping represent T-Mobile, one of the biggest employers of UW Bothell graduates, was Mariam Gewida, a June graduate from the School of Business who first started with the company as a summer intern. She\u2019s now a technical account manager at the Bellevue headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"T-Mobile<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

T-Mobile is looking for employees with a combination of business and engineering knowledge and the flexibility to take on challenges, Gewida said. From its cybersecurity internship program, T-Mobile knows UW Bothell students \u201chave the ability to grow and expand on their knowledge,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Solis, a Finance major still two years away from graduation, was first in line for the opening of the all-industries fair, looking for an internship. It was his first career fair outside of high school, and he was glad to find the Career Services pamphlet that pointed him to employers seeking his major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving this opportunity on campus is extremely helpful in trying to get your name out there and to be able to see what there is,\u201d Solis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Frankland, due to graduate in fall 2018, had just finished classes for her double major: Society, Ethics and Human Behavior; and Interdisciplinary Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have many, many interests,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m here to see what the options are today, to see what\u2019s out there. I\u2019m able to walk around, talk to different people, interview them about what their activities are and see if it\u2019s something I would like to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra Likholetova, a Media & Communications Studies alumna who graduated in August, just started looking for a position after taking some time for travel in Russia. \u201cNow I\u2019m ready,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her experience and interest, Likholetova is looking for work in public relations, social media management or communications in a creative setting \u201cwhere my voice is heard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to applying for a job from only a computer, she added, the one-on-one contact at the career fair is an \u201camazing\u201d opportunity. \u201cMy face matches the resume now,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m able to give the first impression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related activity, the School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and UW Bothell Career Services take students on \u201ctech treks\u201d to local technology companies. On the trek set for this November, 35 students will visit Microsoft and Expedia, said Michael Kimball-Bryant, graduate career counselor for the School of STEM. 足彩app哪个是正规的 treks give students a firsthand look at engineering and computing work places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
