The Career Development Center is a really handy service that IU provides students; it's designed to help them start their search for careers and internships in arts and science fields. They've lately put on a couple of very helpful, and really well-attended, programs. Just this week there was an advertising, design, and public relations networking night, as well as an internship fair. I decided to check out the internship fair, held in Alumni Hall in the IMU, to see what some of the businesses were.
The first thing I noticed was that
most students were dressed a little more formally than usual, and some were even wearing suits. There were several booths set up around the room with company representatives standing at each, and students would ask representatives about their companies and about what internship opportunities they were offering. Many of them had resumes on hand to give to the representatives they spoke to. The employers seemed really eager to draw students closer to their booths and fill them in on what their companies were all about. Among them were The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, J.C. Penny, Old National Bank, Wonderlab, The American Red Cross, and so many more.
I've been browsing the Career Development Center's website and almost can't believe how many more events they have planned for this semester. I had no idea!
