Career Networking Event a Success!

Written by Lindsey Sing, COB Career Center Graduate Assistant

Well done College of Business students! With 31 employers and 130 attendees, last week’s COB Career Networking Event held in the Mendenhall Student Center was a success. Employers were blown away with the quality turnout and enjoyed speaking with our impressive students. Below are several comments from some of the employers that attended:

Grayson Blake- Colonial Life

“This was an awesome event! John and I had a great time meeting your students and discussing career opportunities.  Looking forward to building our relationship with ECU and the College of Business.”

Rebecca Christiansen- BB&T- “Thank you for having us yesterday. I truly enjoyed my first experience to Greenville, NC.  I felt the students were well prepared, well dressed, and well spoken.  I was also very impressed with the way the students directing traffic were assisting companies with all of their recruiting materials.  The students were clearly representative of the University’s fine character. I look forward to future events.”

 Rodney Lewis- Maxim Healthcare- “Thank you again for allowing Maxim Healthcare Services to join the networking event and dinner. It was great to speak with your students and discuss their career goals. We were pleased to meet several potential candidates for this year and next.”

Remember, networking is the best way to find an internship or job. You don’t want to miss out on your dream job because you overlooked a chance to connect and develop contacts. Attend as many events as you can! The more you go, the more experience you get in selling and promoting yourself.  Remember, practice makes perfect!
