Career Fair Assignment

-The two companies I visited at the career fair were Verizon Wireless and Kohl's.

-The two questions I asked were...
1.)What kind of internships do you offer and what are the qualifications you need to apply?
2.) What is the best part of your job and working for your company?
The responses I got from Verizon Wireless were...
1.) Yes, we offer internships every summer that go from the beginning of June until early August. We begin reviewing applications in March and April and will decide who will get the internships a few weeks later. The only requirement is you must be a full time college student and have good grades.
2.) The best part of my job is working in Human Resources and getting to support all our employees from beginning to end. I get to watch them develop from the first day being very nervous to a few years later managing stores and being very professional in their career.
The responses I got from Kohl's were...
1.) Yes we offer 2 internships. One is a 10 week program from Jun 7th-Aug 14th, 2010. The other is a 15 week internship from Aug-Oct of 2010. You must be anticipating graduation in 2010 or 2011 and be pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business or a related field. You also must have strong analytical, leadership, and communication skills.

-The hardest part about attending the Career Fair was choosing who to talk to and how to go about it. Almost all of the people were very friendly and open to talking but it takes a bit of courage to walk up and introduce yourself.
- If I could do anything differently next time I go to the career fair it would be dressing nicer, and preparing a better resume.
-All of the recruiters recommended getting internships during college while still keeping up with school work and I took this advice very seriously.
