We recommend students dress business casual when attending in-person sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prior to attending, research the organization and their career opportunities; this will provide you with an opportunity to engage with the employer and ask questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring an updated professional resume to the session, just in case the employer is willing to accept it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All sessions will provide the opportunity to network with employer representatives. Be prepared to introduce yourself, share information about yourself, and ask good questions. Prepare an elevator pitch to introduce yourself and include the following: what you are studying, when you will graduate, key strengths, career interests, and a question to continue the conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare to ask relevant questions. Use your research to prepare at least three questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When closing your conversation with the employer, thank them for their time and offer your resume. You may also ask for their business card to follow up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send a short email to follow up with the employer within a week of the session to reiterate your interest in their organization and career opportunity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"book-an-information-session\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book an Information Session:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an employer and you would like to book a recruitment information session for your organization, please visit Carleton\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/employers\/engage-students\/recruitment-events\/information-sessions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employers website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"upcoming-information-sessions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming Information Sessions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    \n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--grey cu-section--cards ml-offset-center  md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;grey&quot;,&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;&quot;2&quot;,&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;6,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;none&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;listing&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cu_event&quot;,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cu_event_type&quot;,&quot;order&quot;&#x3A;&quot;ASC&quot;,&quot;orderBy&quot;&#x3A;&quot;meta_value&quot;,&quot;metaCompare&quot;&#x3A;&quot;&gt;&#x3D;&quot;,&quot;metaField&quot;&#x3A;&quot;cu_event_end_date&quot;,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;hideEventMeta&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;20&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl bg-cu-black-50 max-w-screen-2xl mx-auto rounded-xl px-6 py-5 md:px-14 md:py-12 md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts \">\n            No\n            event\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"w-full max-w-5xl mx-auto overflow-hidden bg-white rounded-lg shadow-lg cu-stackedlist cu-component-updated not-prose\">\n            <ul class=\"grid cu-stackedlist--posts cu-stackedlist--2 md:grid-cols-2\">\n\n                                            \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                                    \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In collaboration with existing and new employers and organizations, Career Services hosts a number of recruitment events, like employer information sessions, throughout the academic year to give students the opportunity to connect with professionals in their field(s) of interest and explore their career options.
