Note: Unfortunately, MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations had to cancel due to inclement weather. We look forward to hosting them at some point in the future. If you’re interested in getting in touch with the recruiter, please contact us.
Students used the time in different ways. Some came with specific questions about applications. Others were there to get a sense of what even exists and how to start narrowing things down.
One thing we heard consistently from recruiters: K students stood out. They were well-spoken and asked good questions, which left our guests impressed.
As one recruiter put it, “I had a high volume of very impressive students. The conversations were wonderful, and the overall set-up was fantastic!” Another shared, “I had great conversations with the students and was able to connect with more than I was expecting.”
“I had a high volume of very impressive students.
The conversations were wonderful, and the overall set-up was fantastic!”
There were a lot of practical conversations about timelines, requirements, and what different paths actually look like after a program. Some students left with clear next steps. Some left realizing they need more time to figure it out. Both are useful outcomes!
Thanks to everyone who showed up and engaged, and to the programs who spent the afternoon with us! If you’re still thinking about grad school and want to talk it through, CCPD is here. Visit us in the Career Studio or make an appointment with a career coach.
