Why are you in university? Sure, to get an education. To broaden your minds, expand your horizons. To meet new people and have new experiences and live and learn about the world, about yourself. But let’s face it: the top reason anyone goes to university (or any school of higher learning, for that matter), is so that they can get a J-O-B some day.
That’s where the U of T Career Centre comes in. In addition to the year-round services offered by the CC, each September it hosts the largest career event on campus, called Career Information Days. There’s year’s event runs Sept. 21-23 at University College (15 Kings College Circle).
Basically, it’s a giant career fair providing an opportunity for all students from all three campuses – whether you’re a recent graduate, about to graduate or just laying the groundwork for when you hit the streets diploma in-hand – to meet and network with representatives from more than 100 top organizations.
Jointly organized by AIESEC Toronto, the Engineering Career Centre and the U of T Career Centre, the CID devotes each of its three days to specific disciplines. But it’s not just a casual drop-in sort of affair. The chance to make real connections with potential employers is high. So come prepared. (That’s right, the CID requires a bit of homework on your part, but it offers the very real possibility of getting your foot in the door of your future career.)
The Career Centre offers a variety of preparation tips to help you make a strong, professional impression, from how to dress to identifying your goals and objectives to researching the employers you’ll be meeting. There are also CID preparation workshops offering last-minute tips and suggestions.
