Recruiters Information

Dear Recruiter,

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to our next BCN Career Fair scheduled for October, 23^th 2007. Based on the success of our previous career fairs, this has become the most popular way to recruit our students. Last February’s fair brought 120 construction companies. In addition to interviewing students that are graduating in December, the fair is also an excellent opportunity to contact students who are looking for summer or semester intern positions.

As in the past, we are inviting other departments from within the University, such as Civil Engineering, Business Administration, Real Estate, etc. We are also inviting other schools outside the University (i.e. students from the construction program at Santa Fe Community College, the University of North Florida, University of Central Florida, and Florida A&M) to attend. Our intention is to provide you with a larger pool of candidates from which to choose.

Thefollowing is a tentative agenda for career fair:

Monday, October 22^th

7:00 p.m. – 9:00 pm       Recruiter Reception at Emerson Alumni Hall

Tuesday, October 23^th – O’Connell Center

Our goal is to aid recruiters in the interview process. Should your company choose to partake in interviews the day of the career fair, please RSVP that your company would like an interview space. Spaces are limited and will be reserved on a first come bases. Recruiters will be responsible, throughout the morning, for signing up candidates for their afternoon interviews.

Due to nature of the Career Fair, we will no longer be scheduling any interviews or seminars the week before or the week of the Career Fair. All Interview and seminar dates before the October career fair will be reserved for our major donor companies.If you would like to schedule on campus interviews and/or seminars any other time during the semester, we are more than happy to accommodate your company.

Wewould like to emphasis that you do not break down your booths prior to 1:30pm. This gives everyone an opportunity to visit with all booths.
