The Office of Internships, housed in the College of Business and Public Management (CBPM), will hold a Business Internship Fair on Thursday, November 17, 2016. This will be the second annual fair.
The event will span across the second and third floors of the Green Lane Academic Building (GLAB). Show up from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and take the next step to finding an internship, and possibly a career.
In 2015, students were successful in landing internships at well-known establishments. Companies include Disney, Six Flags Great Adventure, New York Life, Wakefern Food Corporation, iHeart Media, BMW and more.
There will be more than 30 companies present. Here is a peek at this year’s companies expected to be at the fair: Enterprise, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Wegmans, Fastenal and more. The Office of Internships wanted to cover as many career fields as possible, and has also invited law enforcement and government departments. The Kean community can expect NJ State Parole, Homeland Security and more.
While most of the opportunities are geared towards majors like accounting, finance, marketing, management, global, criminal justice and public management, students from other disciplines are encouraged to come to the fair.
The internships and job openings at the Business Internship Fair will be for spring and summer 2017, and most internships will be paid and available for college credit.
The setting of fair will be professional, so those who are attending should be dressed and act in an appropriate manner.
“Students should also have a 1-2 minute ‘pitch’ of themselves as they go around and meet each of the companies at the fair,” suggests JoAnne Beiter, Director of Office of Internships.
Students should also bring plenty copies of their updated resumes. A student not too confident in his or her resume, or simply wants another pair of eyes to look it over? Stop by the Office of Internships and a student’s resume will be reviewed.
