EMPLOYER INFORMATION SESSIONS
Hosting an Information Session can be a highly effective component in your overall presence-building strategy. Information Sessions are open to all students, regardless of major or year in school, and Career Center staff advise students to attend these session for both career exploration and job/internship seeking.
Tips for a Succcessful Information Session
The following are characteristics of the most successful Information Sessions:
- Set a goal to raise awareness of organization and build relationships with students. Focus on quality more so than quantity. A few weeks prior to your scheduled event provide the Career Center with a promotional flyer which highlightes your upcoming visit to campus.
- Introduce the organization, its opportunities, and why it is a relevant choice for Case students
- Bring a Case student or an alumnus who knows your organization and can share a student or new hire perspective. If a student or an alum is not available, bring other recent college grads.
- Be prepared to discuss a variety of career paths within the organization. Not only does Case have an excellent School of Engineering, but we have many talented students in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Weatherhead School of Management, the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, and more. Students have told us that they want to learn more about all of your organization’s opportunities!
- Hold the Information Session after the Career Fair, especially if it’s your first time visiting campus. The Career Fair “kicks off” the recruitment season, and for lesser-known employers, this timing helps raise awareness
