Exxon Mobil Professional Workshop & Info Session
by: Leira C Sanchez Quinones & Yashira M Roman Ramirez
The Exxon Mobil Professional Workshop was full over-capacity. The students were very interested in the company and what they had to say. They made a lot of questions that were answered by the company’s recruitment team and everyone that made a question got a prize. The team was fully bilingual and comprised mostly of recent Colegio grads. They gave us tips on how to build our resumes; what information to include and what information to leave out. They also talked about how we should prepare before an interview, how to dress for an interview, how to act during an interview and what to do after the interview. At the end, the attendees enjoyed pizza and refreshments. The Exxon Mobil team talked individually with every student that approached them. Some students even got one-on-one help with their resume.The information Exxon provided was to the point and dynamic.
Exxon Mobil also had an interactive Info Session. After telling us about their company and the opportunities it had for us, they introduced us to two Colegio students that worked for them as Co-ops. They talked about their experience with the company—which was a great one—and told us about the projects they worked on. The Q&A section was long but interesting. The students that asked questions were well prepared and knew exactly what they wanted to ask. The interns were also prepared and willing to answer questions and give useful advice for the job fair. At the end refreshments were served.
