On Thursday, September 13, approximately 20 companies came to the Anderson Center looking for fresh talent amongst the student body at Winston-Salem State University. The Career Fair was hosted by Career Services.
Senior Danny Harris said that this year his profession really wasn’t represented by the companies present at this year’s fair.
“I want to do physical therapy, and I don’t feel that the Maryland Police Department or Kroger can help me achieve that. However, I do feel that other majors were better represented at this fair,” he said.
The purpose of this career fair was to give students looking for jobs and internships the chance to hear just what the companies at the fair had to offer. It also allowed students to see what opportunities may lie ahead for them once they graduate.
This year, there were plenty of companies to choose from, including Target and Thurgood Marshall Fund.
Candrice Nolan, a senior, economics/finance major, said that she would have loved to go and is sorry that she missed out on the fair.
“I won’t be here due to a business conference, but I would have loved to attend,” Nolan said. “The career fairs at WSSU are always some of the best because there is always a large amount of companies to choose from.”
