Tabling Update from NYU Career Fair

Tabling at the NYU career fair went fairly well two days ago. Special thanks to the NYU Office of Career Services for letting us table for free and saving us over $200. At our table, we had flyers, a banner, books, and information about the company and unpaid internship available.

Some observations:

  • It is very funny to look at the different types of job seekers. Some were unshaven in shorts while others were in expensive suits. Some had there resumes binded while others had the worst resume layout I've ever seen.
  • We started off many conversations by asking people what they were interested in. Some were quick to respond with their interests or admitting that they were open. Others seemed to pause nervously, covertly glance at our materials, and tell us they were interested in marketing and student success, which happened to be exactly what we were looking for. Coincidence?
  • Standing for four hours is not easy.
  • Saying what our company vision is and who we were hundreds of times allowed us to get a much clearer picture of what the company is.
