Students in Free Enterprise Career Expo

By Rochelle Gardner, Students in Free Enterprise

Even though empty nest parents may love for your son or daughter to be back at home upon graduation, you also hope for your child to find the career of his/her dreams! Here is some great information about another career event on campus, organized by one of our student organizations.

On Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 The University of Arizona Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team will host the 2008 Spring Career Expo. The 8th annual Career Expo is the first career fair of the spring semester and the perfect opportunity for your son or daughter to secure that ideal job or internship. This event is located in the Student Union Memorial Center (SUMC) North Ballroom from 10am until 4pm on February 20th, 2008.

Some of the companies participating include:

Some students feel unprepared and therefore do not attend the Career Expo. To boost their self confidence we are offering a series of three business etiquette workshops. These workshops will teach students about dining etiquette (on January 30, 2008), business etiquette (on February 13, 2008), and interview etiquette (on February 27, 2008).

If your student would like updates about the Career Expo and the etiquette series workshops please send an email to expo@uasife.org. Also, for more information please visit our website at www.uasife.org.
