Career Expo and Internships

REMINDER:

Tomorrow (Tues. April 10, 2007) the UMD Career Resource Center will be holding its annual Career Expo at the Woodland Commons Community Center. Please check out http://www.umassd.edu/crc/ for more information.

For graduating seniors, this is an opportunity to get an interview with a company for a full-time position. For all others, this is a chance to look for part-time employment and internships and to see how a career expo
works. There is no charge for admission.

Several of the companies seem to be interested in internships (see

http://www.umassd.edu/crc/). I have gone through the list and have
highlighted those companies that have apparently told the Career Resource
Center that they are looking for business interns:

Acushnet Company
Bankers Life and Casualty Company
CertaPro Painters
Colonial Supplemental Life
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Nestle Waters North America
New York Life
Northwestern Mutual Financial Network
One Ninety Five Marketing
Sherwin Williams Company
Velcro USA


Also, TEACH! SouthCaost, is looking for business majors who might consider a career in teaching math in public schools in New Bedford or Fall River. They will have a table at the Career Expo so if you are strong in math and have thought about teaching, stop by and talk to Carol Pelletier Radford who is recruiting for that program.

If you plan on attending the Career Expo - bring resumes. It runs from 10:00 AM - 2 PM.

Also, keep in mind that for the seniors, there will be about 50+ companies represented at the expo. I only listed those that have shown interest in internships. Consult the CRC website for a complete listing of the companies.
