网络 night helps grad stand out during 招聘会 to land summer internship with Consolidated Electrical Distributors

耶稣萨莫拉 graduated with a double major in operations management and finance in spring 2016. With the help of 职业服务, Zamora landed a summer internship as a management trainee for Consolidated Electrical Distributors, 公司., in Vancouver, Wash. Zamora got his internship by attending a 招聘会.

"When I was a freshman, I was involved in the College Assistance Migrate Program (CAMP)他说。. "Experienced speakers from 职业服务 came and presented to us. They taught us what to put on a resume, what a professional resume should look like, interviewing skills and how to network with employers. These tips and skills I learned as a freshman have stuck with me and helped me ever since."

As president of the Hispanic Business Association (HBSA), Zamora's interaction with 职业服务 has been ongoing. The HBSA and 职业服务 are responsible for organizing Vandal 网络 Night, an event the evening before the 招聘会. It gives students the chance to obtain advice from a panel of employers and network with them in a more personal environment that is longer than the five minutes they have at the fair.

"My main preparation for the 招聘会 was Vandal 网络 Night," Zamora said. "It allowed me to put a face to my resume and stand out, instead of being buried in a stack with the rest. I actually spoke with a management trainee from Consolidated Electrical Distributors that night, which allowed him to remember me the next day at the fair.”

“I would recommend for everyone to use 职业服务他说。. "I think they have a lot of good tools and expertise. They have really good relations with employers and helpful workshops.”
