April 22, 2017 @ 10:30 am - April 23, 2017 @ 6:00 am
$15 – $70Don’t miss this great opportunity to participate in a day-long program focused on professional growth, followed by a fantastic overnight celebration at the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites Waterpark located at 14500 Continental Gateway Dr, Orlando, FL 32821. This is not your mother’s career fair… Are you sick of traditional college and career fairs that tell you ‘what you’re doing wrong’ and “what you should do with your life” and leave you feeling anxious about your future? College fairs might help you learn a bit about different colleges, but since they are usually hosted by admissions counselors, you really only get one perspective. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a chance to speak to young alumni and professors directly so that you can really find out if a school is a good fit for you? Not Your Mother’s Career Fair is a chance to truly learn about career fields that best fit with your personality and interests. Participants will have the opportunity to have informal, honest conversations with colleges and universities and chat with alumni who can tell you about their personal experiences. Career professionals and companies will be there to offer insight about pursuing your career goals in different fields, including science, hospitality, technology, health, and more. In particular, participants will have the chance to: Take a career assessment and learn about professions that are aligned with their interests Participate in hands-on career workshops led by industry professionals Meet with colleges and universities and learn how to write personal statements and essays for admission applications. Learn how to create an eye-catching resume and stand out during the interview process Learn how to prepare and participate in an interview Learn about internships and summer job opportunities The Career Fair portion of the day will run from 10:30AM – 4:30PM. Those who sign up to attend both the career fair and the overnight will be welcome to join us from 5:00PM – 8:00PM for a pool party (weather permitting) at the Holiday Inn Orlando Suites Water Park. At 8PM, the overnight will begin. After a day of learning, let’s have some fun!
