The Michigan Daily Online Job fairs lure employers to 'U' By Sonia Park For the Daily Professionals from all over the country are logging mileage to Ann Arbor on their expense reports. Often they are Michigan alums themselves, coming back to their alma mater to serve as ambassadors for their companies. They come for job fairs, presentations and scheduled interviews.
Many companies come to campus to screen applicants for prospective jobs.
Other companies come to increase their name recognition among University students as well as to clarify the specific opportunities that are available. Often, companies that are well-known in other regions come to the University to increase their visibility among students. Regardless of their profile on campus, companies are here to meet students and answer their questions. I went to the Bear Stearns info session where I was able to gain knowledge and to determine that the representatives of the company really do live up to their reputation. Recruiters know that if they want their company to grow, they have to bring in new people.
