FAU Career Day Offers Students and Public a "Bridge to Success"

BOCA RATON, FL (September 16, 2004) -- Florida Atlantic University's Career Development Center (CDC) is again bringing employers and prospective employees together in their semi-annual "FAU Career Day." Over one hundred companies are scheduled to participate in this year's event, entitled "Your Bridge to Success." FAU Career Day has been rescheduled and will now take place Thursday, October 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the FAU gymnasium on the Boca Raton campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Some of the many employers scheduled to appear include UPS, FPL, Ernst & Young, Target and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Employers that are interested in setting up a booth may do so by filling out the employer registration form at www.cdc.fau.edu. The deadline for turning in this form is Friday, September 24.

Career Day is an opportunity for undergraduates and graduates to talk personally with employer representatives from various companies and organizations. The employer representatives are available to share information about specific careers, answer career-related questions, and provide students with information about immediate or future employment opportunities with their company or organization.

A number of other services are available to those that use the CDC. The Center posts job listings, co-ops and internships, hosts a national on-campus recruiting program, graduate professional school day, an alumni career mentors program and graduate networking events. In addition, the CDC conducts special workshops in which students and alumni may participate in practice interviews, resume critiques, etiquette dining seminars and learn to dress for success, in addition to a number of other career management programs.
