What was most helpful? The great number of companies in attendance Being able to network and talk to professionals The organization of the event and the extensive list of employers The networking chance with recruiters. Most times when college kids apply online, it goes to a pile that never gets looked at. Recruiters are there to be the liaison for us. Learning About Career Options in Fields I am Looking for It was a confidence builder Easy to locate desired companies Everyone was very friendly and answered any questions I had and explained what they were all about really thoroughly. Dr. Jerry Dake walking the fair and making introductions The presence of UNT alumni helped to start a conversation. Noticing the amount of companies willing to offer jobs. It gave me a sense of pride to go to UNT and hope of getting hired.

What could have made the event better? Advertising it better Including water for participants Having more organizations ready to hire rather than vet for additional training programs. More opportunities for Sophomores Have the booths a little more spaced out so it’s not terribly crowded. Some of the companies could have been more prepared Don't let random companies like Panda Express be there. I was walking away from a well known company, Nationstar, and Panda was right next to them. They pulled me in, I was not going to be rude so I listened. They wanted me to be a manager of their store... I am an IT Developer. No way would I ever be a manager of a panda express store. Better handicap access, room in aisles for wheelchairs Have more logistic companies with open operations positions instead of salesman/broker positions. I could have been a little more prepared Let us know which firms are taking internships, F/T, and P/T. So many weren't accepting internships. If the job fair is until 7, the companies shouldn't begin packing up at 6:30 Less people from HR, more people from an actual technical field. Offer food and drink to purchase for students
