It may seem hard to believe with the year just barely underway, but recruiting for summer internships and jobs is already approaching prime time in a wide range of industries.
College of Business Administration students are invited to attend the following events to make connections with professionals and get a legp-up on their employment search.
If you need help writing a resume and cover letter, coming up with answers for a job interview or networking with alumni, the Business Career Center can help. Students can schedule in-person or virtual appointments via Handshake, which also contains a jobs database and a comprehensive list of events.
Finance and Real Estate Recruiting Fair: Tuesday, Sept. 12, 5-7 p.m. in the Michels Family Forum at O’Brien Hall

Prior registration on Handshake is encouraged, but not required.
Accounting Reverse Pitch Virtual Event: Wednesday, Sept. 13, 5-7 p.m.

The event will be held through Microsoft Teams and moderated by professor Rich Tobin. Students are encouraged to stay for the full event but may attend whichever portion of it fits with their schedules.
Recommended attire includes a shirt and tie, blouses or Marquette-branded gear for a more casual appearance. Suits are not expected or required.
