Fall Recruiting Showcase
Fall Recruiting Showcase is a program designed to help you learn about and make connections with key employers in a casual, low-stakes environment. The event is intended for all interest levels, so even if you aren’t sure whether a career in business is for you, stop by to learn more from employers.
During the event, there will be a large group session at St. Olaf in Tomson 280 where participating employers will give a brief “pitch” (presentation) about their company. During this pitch session, representatives will touch upon company culture, what they look for in candidates, jobs and internships they have available, and other interesting details about their company. It’s a space to explore different employers and learn about what might be a good fit. Following the pitch event, students who are interested in learning more or making deeper connections with recruiters are invited to attend the fair event in the Tomson Atrium. Employers will have tables and be available to chat with you one-on-one or in smaller groups.
