MIT Fall Career Fair Updates

Exciting changes are coming to this year's Fall Career Fair<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001z7Lzot8E5XtHdmXfIv3QiIHd5iKuvvebdxnwUCLCZrSZM6RCMLLJohJa_1agOZxAFnJcTK6MqkjroXU1CF6BS1MJGcqWRh9U38EGKETWHab8uXHVccrozxBfLLmD74kLzMSJpSW8T2m6TqoLD5u2WR3QO33SUholVe6owdH6eee1s-vjkTQgsw==&c=b4nBv6odTfjL-19qmNSxLY7_jc7YDPx5VS_B6AAP5M3fMOTDAQLxZw==&ch=yD3Zi5CZnnwyh3LGC7UttFfiT9wfYoOdZGkm5umjmNsmh0JiW8lhTg==>.  With greater oversight from CAPD,  student directors have begun to make changes to have a Fall Career Fair featuring diverse employers.  In addition to high-tech and engineering, companies will be representing a diverse set of industries, including: Financial (60 companies), Sciences (52 companies), Healthcare (40 companies), Biotech & Pharmaceuticals (46 companies), Consumer Products (33 companies), and Energy (27 companies). Additionally, this year's Fair will feature a new layout, so as to best optimize the location of employers by the types of students they are seeking. This year's fair features several enhancements to the first year student experience, including early access to the fair beginning at 9:30am and guidebook tags that identify "first year friendly" employers.

Quick Queries are Back This Fall![https://files.constantcontact.com/ad8d0e90401/2b16ec2c-e814-4750-a9be-81f5dcc80f99.jpg]

We offer Quick Queries for resume or cover letter reviews and to answer shorter career questions. These 15-minute meetings with a CAPD staff member are available to all MIT students and take place in E17-294.

Quick Query spots become available to schedule on CareerBridge<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001z7Lzot8E5XtHdmXfIv3QiIHd5iKuvvebdxnwUCLCZrSZM6RCMLLJooXGr2I3_VFNAWJSuNfGdwT2f3CwqzD3yE0kUq7P8DedhrV4n42hvPw4DJJ_EiA0jUfwFOV9QNiNhFCrDYz3IPtX3TshLHDAgV01JzahdhV3UA3QQmZ-ni0=&c=b4nBv6odTfjL-19qmNSxLY7_jc7YDPx5VS_B6AAP5M3fMOTDAQLxZw==&ch=yD3Zi5CZnnwyh3LGC7UttFfiT9wfYoOdZGkm5umjmNsmh0JiW8lhTg==> one week prior.

[https://files.constantcontact.com/ad8d0e90401/a1f607d8-bd07-43c5-aefd-8c8382f0aab4.jpg]VMock is a "smart" resume review platform that allows students to upload their resume and receive immediate, customized advice based upon MIT resume standards.
We use VMock to engage as many students as possible throughout the year.
