A large number of companies remained on campus the day after the Career Fair to interview seniors. Last year, the Career Fair was moved from Moench Hall to the fieldhouse area in the Sports and Recreation Center to accommodate the increased number of recruiters. The college's Career Fair received praise from recruiters, who said it was well organized and in an excellent facility. The event is coordinated by a 90-member student committee. The bonus decreases if the student delays in making a decision.
Companies are more creative in their recruiting efforts.
One software firm even brought a 10-member employee band that was featured at an information session. Companies are sponsoring design contests with winners receiving scholarships. One contest winner was the guest of the company president for dinner. Information sessions are increasing as recruiters use the events to meet students in an informal setting. More recruiters are calling students who have been pre-selected to encourage them to sign up on interview schedules and attend information sessions, Hewerdine stated.
