Contributed by: Amar Sandher

On-Campus Recruitment is underway, and networking plays a crucial role in this process. Here’s why Company Information Sessions are important:

What is a Company Information Session?

These events, either on-campus or virtual, allow hiring organizations to present details about their company, recruitment process, and available opportunities. They provide a chance to meet company representatives, including alumni, and learn about roles before application deadlines.

Why Attend?

  • Evaluate Company Fit: These sessions help you determine if a company aligns with your career goals. Understanding the organization and its opportunities will help you focus your job search effectively.
  • Prepare for Applications: If you’re set on applying, these events are a valuable opportunity to network, show your enthusiasm, and gain insights into the recruitment process. Your proactive approach can make a difference.
  • Explore Career Options: If you’re unsure about your career direction, these sessions offer a way to explore various entry-level positions and programs. You might find new opportunities or gain clarity about your interests. Many companies also promote Leadership and Rotational programs, which allow you to explore different roles before committing to one.

Important Dates:

  • In-Person Events Start: Friday, September 6
