The Georgia Tech Alumni Career Fair will be held at the Cobb Galleria on March 12, 2013, marking the event’s 30th straight year of providing employers with access to hundreds of highly skilled Tech graduates.
More than 120 businesses—including Turner Broadcasting, DuPont, Hewlett-Packard and Alcon, a Novartis company—attended last year’s Career Fair and met with more than 1,000 Institute alumni and graduating seniors.
Employers had overwhelmingly positive responses to the event. Ninety-eight percent of employers said they planned to contact attendees for follow-up interviews, and 90 percent planned to contact three or more attendees.
“It was very well organized, and the quality of applicants was extremely high,” one employer said of last year’s fair.
And while Tech’s engineering prowess is well known, several employers said they were surprised by the quality of applicants from other disciplines.
“We thought we were going to have more engineers approach our table, however we found candidates for our accounting and sales openings,” one employer said.
Another employer added: “I had a great time; there were almost too many candidates! I look forward to attending next year. Great job, Georgia Tech.”
