Attending a job fair: through the eyes of a GMC student

Career Services spoke with GMC student Daniel Ressler about his experience at the Accounting Job Fair last month.

The Accounting Job Fair was a great experience for me and the other students that attended. When the event started, I was very nervous because as a sophomore this was the first time that I was going to be involved in a job fair.

After talking with a few employers, my nerves didn’t settle down, but I was gaining a lot of knowledge on how to approach the employers. The GMC professors and staff at the fair helped calm me down and reiterate that I and the other students were doing well.

I went to Career Services before the event to get my resume reviewed and that was the single best thing I did. My resume went from being so-so to being flawless which helped to boost my confidence. Students considering going to a job fair should make sure to get their resume reviewed and get a nice outfit to wear. This will help the employers see that you are interested and confident in your ability to make sure the job gets done, and gets done right!
