So you’re at a career fair, and some companies you have never seen or heard of are everywhere. Delta? Alcoa? Lear? C.H. Robinson? Many of these companies are actually pretty large corporations that want YOU to work for them, and with a little bit of effort, you can. Perhaps you do know that Delta is an airline, Alcoa is an aluminum company, Lear is an automotive supplier, and C.H. Robinson is a Logistics company, but there are scores of smaller companies that look for top quality candidates as well.
Next time you’re going to a fair/presentation/interview, do a quick Google seach of the company and find: what they are, what they do, and anything new they’re up to. Mention it to them and you’ll stand out among the rest that approach them with quesitons like, “What do you do, and what can you do for me?”
Check out some of these companies websites to see if you’d like to apply, and check out MySpartanCareer.com for companies at your next career fair.
