Attention, University of Mississippi students and alumni, you still have time to register for the annual SEC-ACC Virtual Career Fair, coming up Wednesday and Thursday (April 1-2).
“More than 105 firms, including Amazon, AT&T, Cox, Duke Energy, E-Trade, Enterprise, EY, Kaiser Permanente, Mitsubishi, Nestle, Toyota, Verizon and more are offering full-time, internship and co-op jobs,” said Jonathan Harrington, associate director of the UM Employer Services Career Center. “It’s a great opportunity for our students and alumni to connect with big-time companies that do not normally recruit with us.”
Participants will have opportunities to connect real-time with employers without the hassle of leaving their home or office. Employers’ chat hours will be posted in advance. A camera is not required for the text chat. Video chats will be scheduled by appointment.
To register, job-seekers simply need to upload their resumes for employers to view. Visit https://www.careereco.com/register/secacc to do so.
As an additional incentive, a $100 gift card will be awarded to the university with the largest number of registered students and/or alumni participants. So far, 1,323 participants representing 28 colleges and universities have pre-registered. With only 18 of these being from Ole Miss, more are encouraged to pre-register.
“You could win a Nano iPod and get a job,” Harrington said. “This is an easy way to potentially get hired.”
