UPRM Job Fair
by: Leira C Sanchez Quinones & Yashira M Roman Ramirez
Numerous students and companies attended the anxiously awaited Job Fair. Registration was fast and easy, and the time spent in the waiting line was minimal. Most students dressed appropriately for the occasion but, of course, there were a few that did not. Same applies to the companies; while some brought a big efficient team, some brought few or unprepared personnel. Almost all of the companies requested that we applied online and if we hadn’t, they would move on to the next candidate. Therefore remember to apply days, if not weeks, prior to the Job fair! Although we, first-timers, did not get an internship or co-op, we did get many pointers, experience and knowledge. Not to mention the big box of goodies! We learned a lot of the companies and the recruiting process which will help us prepare better for future Job Fairs.
